The Inner Child Workbook: What to Do with Your Past When It Just Won't Go Away (Inner Workbooks S.) Paperback – 1 July 1991

I usually avoid this kind of self help book completely, I find them glib and facile, but I have only done the first few exercises and am already feeling the benefit of it. I can see I will have to be prepared to delve deeply, but it will be worth it, I think. I've ventured into therapy a few times in the past, unsuccessfully, sometimes because of poor therapists, and partly my own issues - but this is something I can do at my own pace.

The inner child was recommended by a friend of mine to help me get through my pass so I may have a future so far I’m enjoying the book some pages make me cry and some pages make me thankful

Very detailed systematic comprehensive book.

A great book for work with inner child but could do with updating

very useful book to have when working with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse

This is tough going. I found it easier to start with ‘Coping with trauma-related dissociation’ for a gentle build up of grounding and safety skills, and Pete Walker ‘Complex PTSD’ for what to do about flashbacks.

I find it very helpful

This is a wonderful little book, very well rounded, with some powerful exercises to assist in reconnecting with your younger self and bring back feelings of excitement for life. It helped me know and understand myself better, and Im still working through some exercises since i could not yet unbury very early childhood memories. There are some self care activities in the book also, Including gratitude ones.All in all a powerful little book that will assist you in exploring your inner world and your potentially hurt inner child. Highly recommend it.
