Healing the Child Within

Discovery and Recovery for Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families

De: Charles Whitfield

Narrado por: Robert Feifar

Have you ever heard of your inner child? Well, this is the classic book that started it all.

In 1987, Charlie Whitfield's breakthrough concept of the child within - that part of us which is truly alive, energetic, creative, and fulfilled - launched the inner child movement. Healing the Child Within describes how the inner child is lost to trauma and loss, and how by recovering it, we can heal the fear, confusion, and unhappiness of adult life.

Eighteen years and more than a million copies sold later, Healing the Child Within is a perennial selling classic in the field of psychology. And it is even more timely today than it was in 1987. Recent brain research, particularly on the effects of trauma on the brain of developing children, has supported Whitfield's intuitive understanding as a psychiatrist.

I really love this book. I have already listened to it three times. Each time I listen I hear something new.

A MUST

A must in the journey of reaching our higher self. It applies to any disfunction, even the most stubble ones. Love the way he wraps it all up at the end.

Amazing

I loved this book! Must read. Imperative to healing the inner child and living your best life.

All my life fell into place after reading this book

I recommend. Old book but so right on the money. I wish I had came across it 20 years ago.

Great book

I loved it full of useful info. I like the clinical way it was written I feel that being a nurse I really was more receptive to the information due to it clinic format. It seemed a bit like my nursing journals

Incredibly helpful book-

EVeRyONE should read this book- it’s insightful and full of helpful information. I had at least 20 “aha” moments reading this! I am going to re-read it!

Very Helpful and Inspiring

This was an excellent book. Enjoyed it very much! So grateful and thankful for the author that wrote book! I am going recommend to my brothers, sisters and friends.

An excellent guide

Surprisingly still accurate for a book written in 1987. It's an excellent guide.

I love how he stresses the importance of not rushing ourselves through the process. It's so frequent that we get stuck in our stories, stuck in our emotions, and the people we love become tired of hearing about it. Even support groups do this. We need to respect our own timing for moving on (preferably without burdening everyone though - why I am a proponent of self talk).

Through this unconditional validation, we will eventually reach an epiphany. We have a choice in deciding how we feel. .... We can let go, and it's on us.

worth reading

this audiobook is something one needs to read repeatedly in order to absorb the information.

Child within me...

I love Charles Whitfield and all his work. I will use all of his helpful advice to move forward and cope.
