A supportive and empowering workbook to help you heal unresolved childhood wounds, cultivate self-compassion, and form healthy and lasting connections.  If you experienced trauma or neglect as a child, you may struggle with depression, anxiety, loneliness, and low self-esteem in adulthood. You are not alone. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)—including early emotional neglect—affect millions of people, and have led to many of the greatest unaddressed public health problems facing our world today. If you struggle with shame or lack of confidence, or if you have difficulty creating or sustaining healthy relationships with others, take heart. There are techniques you can learn to heal the pain of your past and take charge of your future. This workbook will help you get started. Grounded in the evidence-based approach of internal family systems therapy (IFS), this workbook provides a supportive, effective framework for continued healing. By “reparenting” the parts of yourself that were affected by childhood trauma, you’ll learn to build unwavering self-compassion, overcome common relationship and communication challenges, and form healthy and lasting connections. You’ll also find soothing meditations, experiential exercises, and other skills to help you regulate your nervous system, so you can break free from the survival mode you’ve been stuck in for years. Finally, you’ll be inspired by real-life stories from other people who have been through similar experiences, and who’ve successfully overcome their trauma. If the unresolved wounds of your childhood are negatively affecting your life as an adult, you deserve help right now . With this compassionate guide, you’ll learn to reparent your inner child, move past emotional pain and trauma, and start building the secure, fulfilling, and connected life you truly deserve.
