Publisher's Summary

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.

Brilliant

Simon uses a very simple yet effective way of delivering all the information in a calm none preaching manner. He sets up each chapter by explaining what it is, how it effects ourselves and others, and ways to deal with it. Then he gives strong personal examples to show how the tools he has learned along his journey of healing helped him. Definitely could have used this 30 years ago.

Excellent help for healing one’s past!

This book gave me amazing insight into understanding why I react so badly to various triggers as an adult, by examining what happened in my childhood. It then gave me concrete strategies and exercises to move past blaming my parents. It took me a while to work through it all, but I feel that I am on my way to finding peace. Simon’s voice is soothing and calming. I felt like he was there with me, helping me work through painful events of my childhood. He also is helping me deal with day to day issues.
This book is for anyone who wants to get clarity on what really happened in their childhood and why it is affecting you now. Tons of information and help is here.

How to access the workbook?

Great book and a great approach towards the topic.
I'm trying to access the workbook that he mentions the book to practice the said exercises, anyone knows how and where?
