Healing Through Shame to Wake Up the Love

Healing Through Shame to WAKE UP the LOVE is a compassionate and inspirational book for anyone living with internalized self-hatred. In this book Cheryl Bailey shares sacred wisdom that continues to support her own transformation from believing that she was unwanted, worthless and unlovable to understanding the depth of her own inner beauty and loving soul. This heart centered book invites you to move away from self-hatred by first understanding that shame is directly connected to what the shamer expects and believes. It is not a true statement about the person being shamed. With this in mind, Cheryl offers techniques that can soften the harsh edges you have developed by believing hateful things about yourself. Healing Through Shame to WAKE UP the LOVE inspires you to accept who you truly are, with compassion, gratitude and love.



Cheryl grew up in a controlling, abusive household where she learned to integrate self-contempt into all aspects of her being. She began to face the debilitating self-hatred that was a part of her daily life, because she desperately wanted to feel good about herself. She discovered that in order to feel good, we need to turn our attention inward as a way to honor our own truths. Through this transforming practice, Cheryl found the freedom to lovingly accept, appreciate and feel grateful for her own wisdom, memories, feelings and physical sensations. Her desire is now to encourage and inspire those who long to know their own inner beauty and unbounded capacity for love, and who have the courage to stand in their own integrity and wholeness.
