The Child Who Still Lives in You: A Complete Guide to Inner Child Healing and Breaking Free from Childhood Wounds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798240943232)

There is a child inside you who never grew up.They have been waiting for you to come back for them.

The relationship anxiety that surfaces when someone you love seems distant. The shame that makes authentic self-expression feel dangerous. The anger that erupts from nowhere. The specific quality of longing that never quite feels satisfied.

These are not character flaws. They are the intelligent adaptations of a child who learned to survive a specific childhood - and who is still running those same programs in your adult life.
