Hiding from Love
How to Change the Withdrawal Patterns That Isolate and Imprison You
Dr. John Townsend
Coauthor of Boundaries

Why do so many of us hide from the things we long for most—from connection, from intimacy, from love? We conceal our hurting parts from God, others, even ourselves. As children, our hiding patterns may have protected us in a threatening environment. But what served as protection for a child can become a prison to an adult, isolating us from the very things we need to heal and mature. If that describes your story, this book offers potent hope. Hiding from Love helps you explore the hiding patterns you’ve developed and guides you toward the healing grace and truth of safe, connected relationships with God and other people. You’ll discover the difference between “good” and “bad” hiding, why you hide the broken parts of your soul from the God who can heal them, how to be free to make mistakes without fear of exposing your failures and imperfections, and how to obtain the joy and wholeness God intends you to have through healthy bonding with others. Hiding from Love will take you on a journey of discover toward healing, connected relationships, and a new freedom and joy in living.
