Join us in welcoming Dr. Pamela Thompson, a clinical psychologist and professional life-coach, as she talks about her new book, Surviving Mama. Surviving Mama is a stirring and thought-provoking self-help book brimming with illustrative examples and empowering life lessons geared toward women from young adulthood to mid-life.  It takes the reader on a journey through eight narratives of women sharing their experiences of their mothers' self-absorption, demanding ways, jealousies, belittling jabs, excessive worry, controlling nature, narrow-minded perspective, and even mental illness.  The reader is invited to share in the daughters' struggles to remain loving and embracing of their mothers who are as loving as they are imperfect.  The book is for women who want to mature in recognizing Mama's inappropriate and unproductive behaviors, to transcend them with enhanced boundary-setting, and to make peace in the relationship--even if Mama never "gets" it. 

The book, Surviving Mama, will be available for sale the evening of the program.
