YOUR TOUGHEST ADVERSARY MIGHT BE YOURSELF
By day journalist Patty de Llosa was a highly respected magazine editor and writer, but she led a secret life as a spiritual seeker. Accomplished at turning crippling setbacks into astonishing successes, there was one adversary she couldn’t overcome – her own inner tyrant. It all changed when she embraced the creative and insightful work of Jungian psychology. The methods that transformed her life are detailed in her new book, TAMING YOUR INNER TYRANT A Path to Healing Through Dialogues with Oneself (A Spiritual Evolution Press; 2011).
A survivor of the first order, de Llosa set aside a tumultuous childhood and burgeoning career as a reporter with Time magazine to marry and raise three children with the future governor of Loreto province in Peru. Forced to adapt to living in the , she brought medical care to the jungle. When a military coup drove her family out, she founded and ran the first foreign chapter of the United Nations preschool in Lima. Once home in the U.S., she became a writer for national magazines while raising three children as a single mother. In spite of her accomplishments, her mind and body were under attack by an inner tyrant.
Too often the harsh critic who lives within us holds us back from our true potential. But Jungian Active Imagination techniques can help you break free and claim the person you were meant to be. Many therapists have described these techniques, but de Llosa is the rare client who vividly journaled what was going on in her inner and outer worlds and shares her path to health.
Her dialogues and discoveries brought into conscious awareness the cast of characters who live within all of us and how they may dominate our daily behavior in ways that aren’t always in our best interest. The experiences and exercises she shares will resonate with everyone – these inner personas resemble the characters in our popular culture who now appear in the guise of superheroes, vampires, zombies and child wizards.
Part psychological memoir, part roadmap to healing, TAMING YOUR INNER TYRANT shows how anyone can make use of the tools outlined within to find lasting peace.
Patty de Llosa is the author of Taming Your Inner Tyrant (A Spiritual Evolution Press; 2011) and The Practice of Presence (Morning Light Press, 2006). She is a writer and a contributing editor of Parabola Magazine and teaches Tai Chi and the Alexander Technique. She was managing editor of American Fabrics & Fashions magazine, then associate editor of Leisure magazine, a Time Inc. startup, moving on to Fortune magazine, where she became deputy chief of reporters. In Lima, Peru she founded the first foreign chapter of the United Nations pre-school, International Playgroup. She is a graduate of the American Center for the Alexander Technique and Swarthmore College. For more information, please visit www.tamingyourinnertyrant.com.
Taming your inner tyrant A path to healing through dialogues with oneself edition by Patty de Llosa SelfHelp eBooks
Patty Llosa offers us a candid, insightful, and in the end extraordinarily brave and touching account of her lifelong effort to reconcile the many different personas (or, as Gurdjieff might say, "I"'s) that inhabit her life. Exploring a wide range of Jungian techniques, and gradually discovering the inner courage required to engage in a dialogue with these different parts, she leads us down a path where we see that what appear to be inner "enemies" are in fact friends; some inner friends actually turn out to be enemies; and all the parts have important roles to play in a whole understanding of the self.As Patty so eloquently demonstrates, all of us are filled with competing and poorly integrated multiple personalites, each one of which is frustrated, misunderstood, and largely ignored by the other parts. In this book we encounter a real-world iteration of Gurdjieff's doctrine of I's. Only through her active exploration and engagement on many creative levels does Patty begin to discover (and show us) how these parts can all serve one another and a greater whole. It is, once again, an elegant example of a theory put into very real practice.
We seek to discover an inner wholeness, and this cannot take place without cooperation. It is the "survival of the fittest" mentality of our various competing inner parts that causes our destructive behavior, both towards ourselves and others. I think Patty's book does a truly exceptional and eminently practical job of showing us how that takes place inside us. What needs to replace this "fight to the finish" mentality within us is a compassionate integration of our various parts.

Taming your inner tyrant A path to healing through dialogues with oneself edition by Patty de Llosa SelfHelp eBooks Reviews
At first I wasn't sure I was going to like this book. Who wants to know about one's inner tyrant, let alone tame anything? (It sounds like too much work.) However, two things struck me. First, the author is refreshingly honest. Note that I didn't say "brutally honest". Rather, her honesty repeatedly struck me as a kind of true confession, but one that one needn't be embarrassed about. A lot of inner work went into that--writing the book was probably the easy part. But presenting her struggle and emergence in a way that seems so fresh and alive is also the mark of a gifted writer.
Second, the stories de Llosa relates about herself were page turners. I went right along with her with that little eight-year old into the woods. Her dialogues with herself were strikingly rendered--I almost wouldn't care if they were edited or came out as written from the start.
While exercises are offered, this is no canned "how-to" book. It is a moving account of inner struggle that will leave a lasting impression on you. If you are like me, you will emerge from reading this book wishing to have a real conversation with other parts of yourself (parts who are probably listening right now anyway).
I received "Taming Your Inner Tyrant" and read it thinking it would be in depth work. It was in depth. We each come up with our own inner talk. Being able to say it out loud and read it out loud from someone else brought discovery to Ms. de Llosa, and shed light on shadows for me. I am thankful Ms. de Llosa opens the door to different ways communication with our fragmented self can be reached and connected. There is no multiple choice or fill in the blank exercises in this book. Instead the explanations bring intent and clarity to what may be achieved and how working on getting to know the shadow side we all have can be valuable!
I know several people who could benefit from this book. They either allow tyrants to over influence them, or they struggle with being a tyrant to themselves and others. The conversation with the tyrant was refreshing. I plan to keep my book and buy the book as gifts for the two people I know who most certainly will eat it up. I plan to re-read Taming Your Inner Tyrant. It is marked and dog eared. I am thankful it came to me and that it is there for me when my tyrant inside trips me up or causes me to limit my life.
ok
This book was not quite what I expected but I got a lot of good information and insight out of reading it. I had a work shop with Patty de Llosa and she was delightful to work with!
This book is Great!! Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. It read like a murder mystery for me. The author's bravery and courage to confront her many I's was contagious. I have been able to learn from my inner discrepancies in a whole new way.
Highly Recommended.
This is a touchingly honest story of a woman's struggle to find health at first then balance in her life. Her struggles speak to all of our struggles to understand our inner conflicts. It reads like an adventure story. One feels the growth of understanding as Patty questions the parts of herself that seem to hold her in bondage. She finds things are not necessarily as they seem. Her persistance and tenacity are insprational. She is showing her path to freedom. Freedom from the bondage that holds so many of us prisoner. Her journey can become our journey as well if we are willing to make a relationship with our inner tyrant.
The force and truth of this book come from Patty' ability to write like a reporter. It is not cold writing, it is warm with a wish to share insights with others. This is not self-help or self-pity or self-promoting but a genuine search for understanding, freedom and balance.
Thank you, Patty.
