This is a classical book about feminine archetypes, a guide to rescuing our instincts as women and being in touch with our true selves. Through myths and stories part of our unconscious collective and found in many cultures, the author shows the healing path to the female psyche. In my opinion, it is a must-have book.

This book explains the causes of codependence relating it to different types of abuses in childhood. It also describes how codependence negatively impacts our lives and introduces the approach to recovery. Acknowledging your attachment style and how it impacts your relationships is a crucial step to healing inner wounds and being able to express a balanced feminine energy.

4. Facing Love Addiction: Giving Yourself the Power to Change the Way You Love

The book unravels the characteristics of love addiction and the dynamics between love addicts and love avoidants. As a subproduct of codependence, love addiction is a result of an impaired relationship with the self, and this book offers tools for recovery both for love addicts and avoidants that involve inner work and action steps, in addition to developing awareness of what is a healthy relationship.

5. The Intimacy Factor: The Ground Rules for Overcoming the Obstacles to Truth, Respect, and Lasting Love

The book explains where the barriers to true intimacy come from and how to overcome them. The author relates the ability to intimacy with spirituality, or the connection with a Higher Self, which gives us a broader sense of connection with life and the realization of our inherent self-worth.

6. Womb Awakening: Initiatory Wisdom from the Creatrix of All Life

Book: Womb Awakening: Initiatory Wisdom from the Creatrix of All Life Authors: Azra Bertrand, Seren Bertrand

The book recollects important aspects of the divine feminine that help us reawaken feminine wisdom. As a long-denied aspect of the collective consciousness, these aspects are fragmented and often distorted, but can always be found in their pure form within us. If you have this awareness, this book will help expand your comprehension of the feminine as it brings practices, symbolism, and concepts from different cultures and stages of history, along with the authors’ insights. I think it is a great source of knowledge and is well worth a read.

7. Healing from the Trauma of Childhood Sexual Abuse: The Journey for Women

Book: Healing from the Trauma of Childhood Sexual Abuse: The Journey for Women Author: Karen A. Duncan

This book describes the impact of childhood sexual abuse on a woman’s life and the process of acknowledging and healing. The book also discusses the dynamics inside family systems where sexual abuse occurs and the process of exposing a perpetrator and related issues. It gives tools to help women understand their symptoms and offers a framework for healing.

8. Receiving Love: Transform Your Relationship by Letting Yourself Be Loved (A Guide to Love and Relationships)

Book: Receiving Love: Transform Your Relationship by Letting Yourself Be Loved (A Guide to Love and Relationships) Authors: Harville Hendrix, Helen Hunt

This book addresses an important barrier in relationships, yet often unconscious: the blockages to receive love. As the authors describe the real-life issues of three couples and their healing path, we learn that the inability to receive love comes from childhood wounds that create self-rejection. Then, we are invited to navigate some processes of self-awareness and self-healing, which was a pleasurable and at some points painful and also mind-blowing experience for me. It is worth remembering that receiving is feminine energy, and we can see how the lack of this energy impacts our relationships, despite our gender. It is a book that helps us acknowledge our blockages to receive love and develop resources for self-healing in a practical way, and I definitely recommend you read it.
