"In Whole Again, Jackson MacKenzie lays open some of his own personal wounds to advise on how scars from past traumas can heal. He describes how development of a 'protective self' can provide acute, numbing relief from emotional pain, but at the expense of more enduring self-acceptance. MacKenzie addresses co-dependency, addiction, post-traumatic stress, and borderline, narcissistic, and other personality disorders, outlining pathways to achieve forgiveness and discharging shame. This book may help fill in the holes that can make you whole again." --Jerold Kreisman, MD, co-author of I Hate You, Don't Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality About the Author Jackson MacKenzie is the co-founder of an online support community that reaches millions of abuse survivors each month.
