Loving Our Inner Kids

Your body is the vehicle that moves you around, but how many drivers does it have? Is there:

1. A five-year-old, intimidated by all the new people to meet in the first weeks of school?
2. A twelve-year-old, wondering why his or her body feels so very strange every time it gets attracted to someone else?
3. A seventeen-year-old, devastated by the heartbreaking end of a first love?
4. A twenty-two-year-old, suddenly confronted by the need to find and succeed at a career?

All these characters and more may be influencing choices, decisions, and directions you thought your adult self was making. Loving Our Inner Kids: Tools for Healing Our Wounded Selves puts you back in the driver's seat.

Loving Our Inner Kids is about childhood, and how challenging it feels to be a kid and to be almost always overwhelmed by duties and expectations beyond our capabilities.

Overwhelms can lead to trauma and trauma can drive a child into hiding and a desire to disappear into invisibility. If we can make ourselves small enough we think no one will be able to judge or criticize us.

This book explores the intersection between our adult selves and our inner children...and how connecting with your ownInner Child can help to heal the wounds left from childhood.

It follows the bread-crumbs that can lead us back to those parts of us that got left behind. It suggests simple, gentle processes to help find our inner kids, accept them, appreciate them, and remind them that they "made it", are welcome, and deserve to be loved.
