Debbie
Ford
believes
that
we
each
hold
within
us
a
trace
of
every
human
characteristic
that
exists,
the
capacity
for
every
human
emotion.
We
are
born
with
the
ability
to
express
this
entire
spectrum
of
characteristics.
But,
Ford
points
out,
our
families
and
our
society
send
us
strong
messages
about
which
ones
are
good
and
bad.
So
when
certain
impulses
arise,
we
deny
them
instead
of
confronting
them,
giving
them
a
healthy
voice,
then
letting
them
go.
It
is
to
these
feelings
that
Ford
turns
our
attention,
these
parts
of
our
selves
that
don?t
fit
the
personae
we
have
created
for
the
rest
of
the
world.
She
shows
us
the
effects
of
living
in
the
dark,
of
keeping
all
our
supposedly
unsavory
impulses
under
wraps.
We
find
ourselves
disproportionately
frustrated
and
angry
at
the
selfishness
of
friends,
the
laziness
of
colleagues,
the
arrogance
of
siblings.
When
we
are
unable
to
reconcile
similar
impulses
in
ourselves,
Ford
explains,
we
waste
our
own
energy
judging
others
instead
of
empathizing.
But
most
important,
we
deny
ourselves
the
power
and
freedom
of
living
authentically.
Through
the
stories
and
exercises
in
The
Dark
Side
of
the
Light
Chasers,
Debbie
Ford
shows
us
not
only
how
to
recognize
our
hidden
emotions,
but
also
how
to
find
the
gifts
they
offer
us.
The
very
impulses
we
most
fear
may
be
the
key
to
what
is
lacking
in
our
lives.
