Inner Child: A Workbook for Overcoming Childhood Abuse (Healing Your Inner Child From Childhood Trauma, Abandonment, and Abuse to Find Peace and Happiness)

Book excerpt: The inner child is an archetype of our adolescent self. It is a representation of the part of ourselves that either flourished and grew in a developmentally supportive environment or adapted to environments that were unsupportive or harmful. To heal our inner child, we are asked to first reckon with the wounds we sustained in childhood. This can be a painful, lonely process. We are then charged with the responsibility of re-parenting those wounds, so that we can integrate fully as adults and have the wisdom, courage, and wherewithal to engage with our adult lives with compassion, awareness, and connection. Inside you'll learn: · How to find the lost inner child within · How to heal your emotional pain and suffering · Key steps in recovering and healing your self-esteem · How to avoid being a co-dependent · The most effective approach to journaling · Free numerology reading! · And much more! Living with a broken inner child can leave you with unhealthy coping mechanisms and prevent you from growing and developing as an adult. Inner child work allows you to recognize and address the traumatic experiences that you’ve lived through in the past. It serves as a way to look back in time, granting you the opportunity to analyze the thoughts and feelings of the past with the knowledge and understanding of the present.
