Dr. Whitfield presents a road map from discovery to recovery. It will help the reader create the gift of personal freedom in his or her own life.
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 recognising and healing from the painful effects of childhood trauma. Highly recommended by therapists and survivors of trauma.
