Ebook Title: The Dragon In Me
Author: Jeff Morris
Ebook Description:
My name is Jeff Morris and I'm a life coach. While the book you are about to read is fictional, it is based on real life experiences that I have had in my life. My childhood and teenage years were turmultous, having grown up in a family home besieged with family members struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction, as well with depression and suicide.
It's normal to feel isolated, and uneasy with other people, especially authority figures. There sometimes a sense of impending trouble or danger as we make our way through life. To protect ourselves, we often live life satisfying other people's needs, rather than our own. Sometimes, we feel like we have lost our own identities in the process. Often, we feel like we are living life as an imposter, afraid that our true nature or faults, or flaws will be discovered by our boss, our colleagues or family.
We have a higher risk of becoming dependent on alcohol, drugs, gambling or other habits, or we found ourself in relationships with people who had those issues, or both. Failing that, we lost ourselves in our work or other pastimes, fulfilling our own destiny of remaining lonely or detached from the world, and our own feelings of pain.
Sometimes we feel like we are a victim, and live life as such. Having an over developed sense of responsibility, we preferred to be concerned with others rather than satisfying our own needs and wants. As a result, we developed dependent personalities, sometimes afraid of abandonment, willing to do almost anything to hold on to a relationship, even if it was not serving our needs. We keep choosing insecure relationships because they matched our childhood relationship with our dysfunctional parents or family.
These symptoms made us 'co-victims', those who take on the characteristics of the family dysfunction without necessarily ever engaging in the destructive behavior. We learned that to survive as children, we had to keep our feelings down and keep them buried as adults.
I've discovered some of the most important lessons in life and am excited to bring them to you in "The Dragon In Me". You will learn:
- about the common characteristics we develop and share when we come from a dysfunctional home
- why we often struggle at work or in relationships
- how to overcome these challenges and stop self sabotaging our own happiness and success
- how to use some of the secrets of martial arts and the Eastern Way to defeat our own internal enemies
- how to find our inner strength...our own "INNER DRAGON" to help overcome any obstacle we are facing in life.
If you grew up or are living in a family home with life challenges, such as divorce, alcoholism, depression, drug addiction or suicide, then this book is for you. I've helped and coached countless individuals just like you and I want to promise you that there is a road back to happiness, life fulfilment and success. You just have to be open to wanting a new life and making a change for the better.
