"My Inspiration for Writing LOVING ME FIRST" by Dr. C.P. White (plus some book reviews)



I vividly recall the day that I made the decision to write my book.  I was living in Iraq at that time and we had just experienced a bombing.  I was sitting in a bunker; a gentleman sitting next to me whispered, “I wish I had got things right with my wife last night.”   I replied to him, “Is there anything specific that you want me to tell her? I’m getting out of here alive and I will be happy to share your words.”  Realizing the intensity of the moment, I jokingly said to him, “I need you to move to the other end of the bunker because this is the surviving end.”  We all laughed.  I began to ask others in the bunker what they wanted me to share with family members or the world.  It was important to me to share their story, insights and experiences, especially considering the reality that they may not return home.


From that day forward, each time there was a bombing, I asked people to share their thoughts about relationships.  These discussions moved beyond the bunkers to various locations. I spoke with men and women representing 25 different countries.  Three common themes emerged: communication, sexual intimacy and emotional pain; similar to my observations with patients in the United States. 


Loving Me First is divided up into three sections; each section discussing one of the common variables. The book also includes eight steps to transform your life and activate happiness.  I am hopeful that each reader will complete a self- assessment, heal, be happy, and enjoy an enriched quality of life.
