Do you feel pain, guilt and anger flowing through your body uncontrolled?
Do you find yourself making self-sabotage and impulsive decisions because of a past that never stops tormenting you?
Do you see the same patterns emerge again and again in each of your relationships, such as the feeling of not being good enough or the fear of not being loved?
We all have an inner child. If you answered yes to the questions above, it is likely that the little child inside you is hurt and needs to be heard.
Not everyone associates childhood with playfulness and fun. If you have experienced abandonment, physical or emotional abuse, bullying, growing up in a "complicated" family, trauma or other emotional pain, your inner child may seem small, vulnerable and in need of protection. The resulting pain will stay with you for the rest of your life and emerge at the most unexpected of times.
You may have buried this pain deep inside to hide it and protect yourself, both your current self and the child you once were.
Trying to hide this pain does not help. On the contrary, it often surfaces in adult life, manifesting as discomfort in personal relationships or difficulty meeting your own needs.
Healing your wounded child is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. I recommend reading this book if you have been experiencing this in yourself lately:
- Regular anxiety and fear, feeling stuck.
- Excesses of anger alternating with sad, deep moments.
- Rumination and negative self talk.
- Chronic overload of work without ever stopping and the need to get results (all to gain a sense of belonging or approval).
- Excessive self-criticism and low self-esteem.
- "Difficult" relationships within your family.
- Frequent nightmares.
- Feelings of shame, guilt and/or pain.
- Failure to celebrate life's victories due to an inability to enjoy the moment.
- Self-sabotage and obsessive/addictive behaviors.
- Unhealthy relationship patterns and/or avoidance of relationships and love.
Listen to the little child inside you, otherwise it will keep knocking on your door.
Is it possible to heal emotional wounds?
Fortunately, this manual contains methods for identifying your specific type of wounded child and interrupting dysfunctional patterns. Finally, you can cultivate new ones that are useful and tailored to you. It is important to do this for yourself and for your loved ones.
It may seem strange or awkward to imagine opening up to your child self; imagine this as a journey to re-discover yourself.
Before you start reading this manual, I want you to be aware of three things:
You are worthy of being loved, you deserve respect and you are not alone.
This book was written for you, read it now!
Take care of your inner child and he will take care of you.
