How we treat our inner child impacts every aspect of our lives. It is the foundation of our habits and self-worth. When we deny, reject or criticize our own innocence and vulnerability, we hinder our capacity for authenticity and connection.
Hatred, discrimination and crime can all be traced to childhood wounds. These harmful behaviours, along with depression, anxiety and self-doubt, are the inner child’s cry for help. As adults, we are desperate for control because we felt powerless as a child, and we attempt to protect ourselves by being judgemental, critical and negative towards ourselves and others.
Our younger selves are trying to get their needs met, and it is our responsibility to meet them – nobody else can. Until we do, we blame our parents, our partners and the world, looking for self-worth outside ourselves and feeling resentful and powerless.
This book teaches us how to:
· Let go of the stories we have been telling ourselves
· Become our own guide on an epic inner quest
· Finally meet our needs and take full responsibility for our lives
Step outside of linear time and journey back to significant childhood moments, bringing your experienced adult self along, to provide the support you needed at the time and make peace with your past.
