2. You Can Turn Your Life Around

If your Outer Parenting was harsh or abusive, it's now a Known Understanding in modern psychology that the internal "Self-Parenting" inside your Inner Conversations can be harsh and abusive.

I was up in my head too much --- lots of self-criticism and negativity ... not in my heart space enough.
I felt unworthiness at the core, I was seeking attention, understanding, validation, hope, love, and kindness OUTSIDE of myself, instead of within.
My core problems were self-doubt, no self-confidence, esteem, no self-worth.
I was always comparing myself to others and every conflict I encountered, I blamed myself.
I spoke horribly to myself on the inside and wasn't even aware of it. I could hear it, but didn't realize I was the one doing it, nor did I realize I could change it.

Review Quotes

Wow. This is another classic book (the yellow book) by John K. Pollard. (The blue book is also amazing). This yellow book is all about hearing and understanding the inner conversations (that everybody has) within our minds. This simple, yet amazing, book will help you resolve your inner conflicts...through the inner parent and inner child that resides in all of us. After reading it, you will EASILY learn how to love yourself. Oftentimes, we ask ourselves, do I really love myself. Then, we learn that we do not even know how to define what it is to love ourselves. Questions like: What is an example of how I can love myself After reading this book, you will finally know how to love yourself. AMAZING!!!!!!

If you really want to "change" yourself and your life, this is the best way that I have ever experienced! When you order "SELF-PARENTING: The Complete Guide To Your Inner Conversations" (ie yellow book) and "The Self-Parenting Program: Core Guidelines for the SELF-PARENTING Practitioner" (ie blue book), you don't only get these books but also a brand new and complete system called Self-Parenting Program. I feel Dr. Pollard's other book "How Relationships Work" would also complement this program to excellence.

I've been through many programs, that were all helpful in some way or another, however none of them can even accomplish what this little simple book teaches in a short 1.5 day read. Once you start the simple exercises, your inner life starts to unfold and you will start to realize how much your missed of what you really wanted in your life, but couldn't quite figure it out.

This book is simple, easy to understand and a complete, mind-blowing game-changer. I read it & did the exercises 10 years ago - the change it made in my life was immediate, profound and lasting. I frequently tell friends about the lessons in this book. In fact, I'm buying one right now for a friend. Don't think this book only applies to people who are struggling; it is good for all because it clearly identifies the inner child/inner parent roles (including tool kit & road map) by taking the concept to a very real next level.
