What are the Five Layers of Powerlessness?

November 4th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

If you do not know Dr. Roger Gould M.D., a UCLA psychiatrist can tell you.  He wrote about those layers in his new book .

Those five layers which ultimately lead to emotional eating are:

1. Self Doubt

2. Frustration

3. Vulnerability or feeling unsafe

4. Rebelliousness or anger

5. Emptiness

Read the book to “delve more deeply into your psyche”.  Learn to develop a more mature and clear view of who you are and who you are becoming.

“The book has two parts.  First the five layers of powerlessness are introduced.  Then there are the sessions that provide exercises to help you arrive at the insights and understanding you need to achieve real change.”

    Jim, I have two large Amazon modules that say “Shrink Yourself” and show a picture of the book. If you can’t see them I need to make some adjustments so they show up in your browser. Dr. Gould’s book is “Shrink Yourself” and if you click on the picture, it will take you directly to Amazon. Sorry
