Self-hatred

We're one set, you're one set.

The term, as I said, was actually coined by Theodore Lessing, who wrote a very important book called Jewish Self-Hatred.

He actually was murdered by the Nazis.

They crossed the border into Czechoslovakia where he was, and they actually murdered him.

And out on September 29th, the second edition of The Body Joyful, it's beyond self-acceptance.

So my first book was The Body Joyful from Self-Loathing to Self-Acceptance.

And this second book is like everything I've learned since then and all the work that I continue to do.

So this second edition is not a rewrite because the first edition, this is where I was.

So part of self-mastery involves being able to face whatever in our own being, our own thoughts, our own repetitive loops, our own outer, outer relationships, reinforces the denigration and the, um, annihilation.

And, you know, there's a old book by a psychoanalyst, I mean old in I think it was originally written in the '40s or '50s, by Theodore Reiman called Compassion and Self-Hate.

And whenever I...

It, it's been reprinted multiple times.

And that book actually becomes one more victim.

We have these two crucial cases of a term that I don't like to use at all, but really it's in German, it's Selbsthass.

It's a radical self-hatred.

There's something pathetic about it.
