Breaking the Spell arose from Rachael's own journey of recovery from low self-esteem as well as her work with clients. She shares techniques she developed and which have proven highly successful.

It draws on a variety of approaches: cognitive behavioural methods, addiction recovery work, spiritual and creative techniques.

By including her own experience, Breaking the Spell has a sense of equality and aliveness as well as depth. It explains how self-esteem operates and offers ways of breaking destructive behaviour patterns. Each chapter contains activities for developing a healthier and more loving sense of self.

"Practical and wise -an essential book for anyone seeking to understand and heal low self-esteem."
(Dr William Bloom)

"I recently bought Breaking the Spell; it has moved me to tears of identification and relief.... on Crewe station of all places. Powerful stuff! " 

"A lovely, well laid out & empowering book, it helped me tremendously both personally & professionally."

I offer consultations to those reading my book, either in person or via skype video calls. Please email me to arrange.

Read an extract from this book


 

Epiphany

 

In the broken storms of the long night

declaring ourselves homeless

we set our backs against the wail of wind

to trudge across bone-deep frozen wastes

of our own deprivation

vowing never to turn back.

 

We carry no answers

only a tiny flame of faith

and a few blessings to count.

 

Pressing on through blizzards

of confusion and frustration

we reach the centre

where all seems pointless

eyes stinging with fury

our salt tears scour a hole in the ice.

 

 Gazing into the deep black

endless heart of nothing

that tiny flame winks back at us

igniting our souls

until the entire landscape glows

like a miracle.

 

This is the meaning of midwinter

light and dark- dark and light

blindness and sight.

Rachael believes in the healing power of poetry. She writes with insight and humour, drawing on many themes: nature, spirit of place, her Jewish family roots and the journey through change, loss, aging, sense of identity and relationships.

She also performs poetry both solo and together with two other Glastonbury poets Dearbhaile Bradley and Jo Watwerworth as Strange Sisters.

Their booklet Acclimatising (£4 inc. p.p) is available from Rachael.
