Publisher's Synopsis
The path to healing begins by going inwards. The path forward, paradoxically, begins by going backward.
Our early experiences shape and mold the person we become, and when those experiences are filled with fear, anxiety, shame, and misery, what becomes of the adult?
Whether you endured parental abuse, neglect, a home filled with conflict, or a mentally ill parent, there's no denying you can't come out of such traumas unscathed. When left unattended, these deep, enduring emotional wounds manifest in an adult with poor self-image, who's persistently on edge, and unable to regulate emotions.
You may think that these post-trauma "traits" are here to stay. In reality, they are a reflection of your wounded inner child. To break free from the effects of your past, you must first heal your inner child. They are within you, still hurt, confused, and aching to be loved.
After all, a child who's been neglected and abused by those who should have loved and protected them doesn't stop loving their parents. They become unable to love themselves.
In this book, I want to guide you toward your inner child, who's lost and frightened, and show you how to offer the love, compassion, and care that was withheld during childhood.
I'll help you find the tether that ties you to your inner child and guide you to healing them, and in turn, you.
