No one has come from a perfect family where all our feelings were honored and revered. Each of us, in order to learn, grow, and sometimes survive, had to develop a false self. Sometimes this false self can greatly stifle our progress and happiness. We become pleasers, rebels, or caretakers, leaving us afraid, angry, confused, depressed, and unhappy. Since 1964, Dr. Sterling G. Ellsworth has helped thousands of people identify and receive their missing "love supplies".
