The Hidden Beast - Confronting the enemy within, by Skip Moen, D.Phil.

There is a battle raging within us. We often find ourselves caught between doing what is right and doing what we want. This is the lair of The Hidden Beast – the place where our desires overcome our responsibilities. When we don’t want to feel this tension, we turn to addictive patterns to numb these feelings.

This book examines the inner logic of addictive thinking and behavior in order to provide the opportunity for real changes in our
emotional responses to trauma. There is freedom from the Hidden Beast . . . if you are willing.
