self help book based in science, the result of than a decade of research, Daughter Detox offers the daughters of unloving mothers vital information, guidance, and real strategies for healing from childhood experiences, and building genuine self esteem.
Writer Peg Streep lays out seven distinct but interconnected stages on the path to reclaim your life from the effects of a toxic childhood: DISCOVERY, DISCERNMENT, DISTNGUISH, DISARM, RECLAIM, REDIRECT, and RECOVER.
Each step is clearly explained, and richly detailed with the stories of other women, approaches drawn from psychology and other disciplines, and unique exercises.
The book will help the reader tackle her own self doubt and become consciously aware of how her mothers treatment continues to shape her behavior, even today.
The message of the book is direct: What you experienced in childhood need not continue to hold you back in life, What was learned can be unlearned with effort, The book begins with DISCOVERY, opening up the readers understanding of how she has been wounded and influenced by her mothers treatment, Recognizing the eight toxic maternal behaviorsdismissive, controlling, emotionally unavailable, unreliable, self involved or narcissistic, combative, enmeshed, or role reversedlays the foundation for the daughters awareness of how her way of looking at the world, connecting to others, and ability to manage stress were affected.
DISCERNMENT delves into the patterns of relationship in her family of origin and how they played a part in her development, and then shifts to looking closely at how the daughter adapted to her treatment, either silencing or losing her true self in the process.
Next up is DISTINGUISH, seeing how the behavioral patterns we learned in childhood animate all of our relationships in the present with lovers and spouses, relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues.
The act of distinguishing allows us to see why so many of us end up in unsatisfying relationships, chose the wrong partners, or are unable to develop close friendships.
Active recovery begins with DISARM as the daughter learns how to disconnect unconscious patterns of reaction and behavior and substitute actions that will foster the growth of self esteem.
Understanding the triggers that set us off, the cues that put us on the defensive, and the default positions of blaming ourselves and making excuses for other peoples toxic behavior are addressed, as are unhealthy behaviors such as rumination, rejection sensitivity, and.
RECLAIM is the stage at which the reader begins to actively make new choices, preparing herself so that she can live the life she desires by seeing herself as having agency and being empowered.
Making new choices and figuring out how to manage her relationship to her unloving or toxic mother is the focus of REDIRECT, There are stories to inspire and challenge your thinking, exercises that show you how to swap out self criticism for self compassion, guidance on how to use journaling as a tool of self discovery and growth, and advice on goal setting.
Finally, RECOVER challenges the reader to come up with a new definition of what it means to heal, suggests tools to overcome the obstacles she places in her own way, and strategies to become the best, most authentic version of herself.
I had learned over the years as a coping mechanism to numb down, I felt my journey through each chapter allowed me too, in a safe and insightful way start to learn and allow myself to feel, explore and hopefully learn to understand, manage and articulate what my feelings are.
The author has a way of describing, scientifically and from her own experiences to looking at issues in a different way It is wonderful and refreshing.
The Chapter towards the end of the book, what my mother has missed out on was beautiful, so insightful, provoking in a healthy way.
I was amazed at my own spectrum of emotions to this, Thank you. I am only part way through this book but already it has been so helpful, I wish I had read this book years ago, It's shocking to think that the damage done in childhood can last so long into adulthood unless the issues are dealt with, I believe things come to you when you are ready and maybe I wasn't ready to face into the painful realisations of my childhood.
I kept making excuses for things that happened or were said and I never faced into the painful reality, Part of that reason was that my coping skills were to tell myself that it wasn't as bad as it seemed, That I should just get on with life, there are people who have it a lot worse, However it's like this book has shone a torch on the reality, It's helpful to know that others went through similar situations, It's such a relief to know that I am not alone in what I experienced, It's a comfort to read the pages of this book and finally feel there is someone who understands, It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and the freedom I feel as I read through this book is amazing.
I'm looking forward to finishing this book and finding a way forward, leaving the past and the pain behind so I can finally embrace my future.
I dont want to sound cliché but this book has genuinely changed my life, Im lucky that Im onlyand already realise the extent in which my mother has impacted my behaviour and thought processes but this book opened up my eyes even further than before.
I learnt so much and cried so much reading this book, and Im not a crier haha, I will say that the book can be very triggering as you start to process some things and truly realise the extent of things in your life but I have recommend this book to soooo many people in my life since reading it!! Its also helped me to have some compassion for my mum knowing that her mum also massively impacted the way I was raised too.
Without this book, without the valuable insight, compassion and bravery of Peg Streep and the people who contributed to this book, I would still, atyears old, be blaming myself for being the child of a cruel and dangerous family, assuming, of course, I had lived that long.
This book will break your life into little pieces, and one by one, piece them together, showing you every join, every lock, everything which brought you here, to this point, right now.
And over, it WILL FIND all the pieces of your life jigsaw which were lost under the sofa of indoctrination, of normalization, and those pieces which were scrawled upon to make it difficult for you to fit them into the picture.
And you will begin to

see the picture emerge, and the patterns, the joins, and the channels were the unloved child sat trapped, deprived of a voice, deprived of tears, deprived of love.
If your life is all wrong, if you give than you get, if you feel unworthy, if you keep on trying and KEEP ON FAILING, and you don't know why, if you are still turning up when your family snap their fingers, thinking "This time, this time they will love and approve of me", then you need this book, and you need it NOW.
Coming to the truth late in life is common than is known, because, rejection is a tool used to shame and silence, Find your voice. Name your pain. Open your mouth and shout "I am, and always was WORTHY OF LOVE, I am good enough, just as I am", You were not to blame because your family couldn't love, .
