Healing the Child Within - by Charles Whitfield (Paperback)

About the Book

The "Child Within" refers to that part of each of us which is ultimately alive, energetic, creative and fulfilled; it is our real self--who we truly are. The author describes the journey of discovery and healing our fears, confusion, and unhappiness.

Book Synopsis

Dr. Whitfield provides a clear and effective introduction to the basic principles of recovery. This book is a modern classic, as fresh and useful today as it was more than a decade ago when first published. Here, frontline physician and therapist Charles Whitfield describes the process of wounding that the Child Within (True Self) experiences and shows how to differentiate the True Self from the false self. He also describes the core issues of recovery and more. Other writings on this topic have come and gone, while Healing the Child Within has remained a strong introduction to recognizing and healing from the painful effects of childhood trauma. Highly recommended by therapists and survivors of trauma.
