How to Heal Your Inner Child

Overcome Past Trauma and Childhood Emotional Neglect

By: Simon Chapple

Narrated by: Simon Chapple

A recovery and growth handbook for anyone who feels empty - but doesn't know why.

Ten questions to ask yourself, right now:

• Do you have a sense that something is wrong, but you don't know what it is?
• Do you have a feeling that you are hollow inside, that you are empty or have a void within?
• Do you react badly to rejection?
• Do you often feel sad, unhappy or down for no obvious reason?
• Would you describe yourself as highly sensitive?
• Do you have problems with relationships and intimacy?
• Do you engage in addictive behaviour - alcohol, drugs, gambling, shopping, food, sex, work, exercise?
• Do you have low self-esteem or self-worth - are you not 'good enough'?
• Do you have a sense of being numb to your feelings?
• Do you rarely experience true joy and happiness?

If you have answered yes to most of these questions, there is a strong chance you have experienced emotional neglect or trauma as a child. An emotionally neglected child may struggle to form strong and secure attachments as an adult. They may feel hollow or empty, worthless (or overly important), judge themselves harshly and struggle with addictive tendencies - drinking, eating or exercising too much, for example. If this describes you, Heal Your Inner Child will change your life and give you back the love, compassion and authenticity you needed as a child and deserve as an adult.

Former heavy-drinker-turned-sobriety-coach Simon Chapple is - like you - a survivor of childhood trauma. His unique brand of straight-talking, practical yet reflective and relatable advice has helped thousands of people quit drinking, and he can help you now to move on from childhood emotional neglect to a place of happiness free from past trauma. How to Heal Your Inner Child is a stepped and safe approach to confronting your past, with space for reflective and supportive strategies that will help you to foster self-compassion and break free from the destructive behaviours that have blighted your life. Clinically endorsed and verified by a psychotherapist, this deeply personal, unflinchingly honest exploration is designed to unlock your own epiphany and support you as you journey to a happier, less troubled and more authentic self.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"A masterclass in understanding." (Annie Grace, author of This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness and Change Your Life)

Liberating!!

Material regarding inner healing is usually depressing and drags you down.

BUT this work of Simon Chapple is like miracle medicine!!! I experienced healing from the fiest to the laat chapter and also bought a hard copy to read as well as the daily journal.

I am in awe!!! I wish I knew this when I was still in my teens!!!

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant book.

I salute you for your bravery and thank you for the courage to share your wisdom with the world Simon!

Content! Content! Content!!!

Every chapter was broken down to the bare bone. Plenty of detail to support each subtitle and facts. I loved it, and after finishing the book, it made me feel more knowledgeable and confident enough to take my life into my own hands and press forward with the work I've already been doing to overcome and save the inner child in me that's been hurting for so long. Well done Simon. Well done!🙌🏾💪🏾🙏🏾

Insightful

An exploration of self guided by easy listening and soft safe nudges to make healing a priority.

Incredibly helpful

This book is so eye opening in how to process and approach healing from childhood neglect and trauma. It's a must read.

How do I get the workbook?

I found this book to help bring a lot of insight into the issues with which I struggle. However, I purchased this book so I can do the work. I admit there are prompts within the chapters, but there are no details on how to access the workbook cited throughout. Does the author read these reviews? Could he or the publishing company or audible direct me to the materials that were supposed to accompany this book? Could they add a pdf of the workbook to this title for download? I find it a bit disheartening as I have attempted to purchase the workbook through hardcopies and have yet to find a way to access a copy.
