We live in a world filled with lies. The only thing is that the lies are within us. When we walk out the door to our jobs or our schools to begin our day, we believe in something. That belief is based on our experiences, what we were told as children, and how our parents raised us. For many of us, it's a belief that we are not good enough and that our value in this world is in question. We seek external validation to counter those beliefs: an important job, a nice car, or even grasping to the importance of being a victim of society. For generations, we have been told that the truth we seek is outside of us-that if we work hard enough, buy the right things, have enough money, or sacrifice our well-being for others, we will be liked and loved.

This is the lie that has been created within us and passed down along our family chain for generations. Since the beginning, we were created to seek approval and validation within ourselves. To look internally for the light that we seek in the world around us. What we need to have an emotionally healthy life is within us. It always has been, and always will be, within us.

This book has been written to be a guide into the depths of ourselves. To show us the darkness so that we may remove it. Only by removing the darkness will we find the light. It will be a journey that takes you back to your childhood. How were you treated? How were you cared for? How were you "loved?" All of that creates certain beliefs in us, and our self-observed value comes from those early years. How do we look at ourselves? How do we treat others based on our own perceptions of self-value? This, and much more, derives from deep beliefs created in our younger years. Beliefs we're not even conscious of. To be angry at a friend, our boss, or our partner-and have the consciousness to stop, look inside, and realize, "I'm the source of the anger"-takes courage; it takes self-awareness. It's not easy to look inside. That's why we criticize, judge, and try to control the things around us. To avoid looking inside and seeing what the true source of our unhappiness is.

This book is for people who truly want to remove the deep pain and the Deficiency Beliefs caused by childhood trauma. For the ones that can't be distracted from the pain and sadness anymore. For the ones tired of seeking external remedies to numb the pain. For the people who want to get to the Deficiency Beliefs that have continually pushed them further and further into the darkness of themselves. The light can only be found by removing the darkness. You can't love from the darkness. You have to be in the light to love. You can't love from the darkness. You have to be in the light to love. This book will guide you through the seven critical steps of an Emotional Event that will lead you to releasing the pain you've been carrying your whole life.

I'm excited about your journey of looking inside so that you can live life as it was intended: in the light and in Love. This is an amazing time to heal and be alive. We have so much wonder in this life. Many have taken this same path to healing, and I'm so amazed to see the joy and happiness that result from this healing process. I wish you the absolute best on this road to healing. God Bless.
