Healing the Hurt of Childhood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230995555)

This book explains in detail the forms of dysfunctional/destructive experiences in early formative years that lead to many difficulties in adult life. It explains how this happens and the effects on personality development. It also shows how to recognise the ways these impact on all the major aspects of adult life. More importantly it provides comprehensive guidance as to how these destructive patterns can be identified and how that can be overcome, leading to recovery and better emotional and spiritual health. There is a lot of content in this book and it is unrealistic to try to apply all the different forms of guidance advice and information at any one time. That would be overwhelming. Rather it is best used as a resource to dip into as time goes on and as you encounter all the ups and downs and vagaries of life. There will be times when some aspects of the explanations and recommendations will be of particular relevance. Other times they may seem of little importance. Thus, it is important to take from it what you need when you need it. In all the above there is one theme running throughout this book: namely that you treat your life as important, and you treat yourself with dignity and respect.
