Behind The Smile by John Sternfels and Melissa Roberts is a real-life story of how one of John's clients, Melissa Roberts, overcame the horrors of being abused, traumatized, and sexually betrayed. As a result, Melissa experienced many psychological complexities, often behind a facade of happiness.
The book is designed to offer readers a deeper understanding of the disconnect between the external image people project and their internal realities.
Sternfels and Roberts guide readers on a journey to uncover the truth behind their own smiles, encouraging them to confront unresolved emotions and heal from past wounds. Together they provide practical tools and strategies for fostering authenticity in relationships, building trust, and achieving genuine emotional intimacy.
Behind The Smile is not just a book for those struggling with personal issues; it’s also a valuable resource for therapists, counselors, and anyone interested in understanding the deeper aspects of human behavior and emotional health. Sternfels and Roberts's empathetic approach and clear, accessible writing make this book a transformative guide for anyone seeking to live a more authentic and fulfilled life.
