Product Description

Most people don't realize how much unresolved emotional pain they carry around. They don't know why they always feel depressed, anxious, victimized, or disappointed. They wonder why they keep making the same self-sabotaging impulsive decisions.

These patterns often stem from their lost inner child, which carries a false narrative that has been on repeat since childhood. The hurt emotions resulting from childhood experiences of abuse, neglect, or trauma show up in adulthood as explosive anger, isolation, bad relationship choices, negative self-talk, feelings of being overwhelmed, being a people pleaser, and keeping others at arm's length.

In Healing Your Lost Inner Child, Psychotherapist and Reiki master Robert Jackman takes you on a personal journey to explore unresolved wounds from your early life using the HEAL process for healing and embracing an authentic life. Through stories and exercises, this easy-to-read book will encourage you to learn how to stop giving in to your wounded inner child's emotional pain frozen inside a snow globe within you. Each chapter gently takes you closer to this original wounding so you can acknowledge and finally heal your pain. Move from being an impulsive reactor to an authentic, conscious creator in your life.

The Healing Your Lost Inner Child Companion Workbook is also available to help you develop a deeper understanding of your relationships, codependency patterns and triggers, and create a self-nurturing plan. 

From the Author

Why I Wrote This Book and Companion Workbook: I wanted to share with others what I have learned in my search for healing my lost inner child who was emotionally frozen around the age of ten. I wanted others to know what it feels like to "come home" to oneself, to feel free, open, authentic and grounded. To heal the wounded parts or the false narratives that hold us back from living our best life possible. Like so many of us, when I was a young adult I didn't realize that I had an inner child inside of me who was carrying this emotional wounding, directing the show and making impulsive choices that my adult self would later have to clean up. I was living on autopilot, reacting out of habit. I felt unhappy and unfulfilled. I kept making falling into the same patterns, interacting with the same sorts of people or situations that were emotionally toxic. It's hard to describe what it feels like when you start to heal and feel like yourself again, when you let go of the wounded responses and take charge, set healthy boundaries and start making choices with your authentically aligned self. As time went on I was no longer confused about myself or about the choices I was making. As a Psychotherapist I have helped many people discover their wounded inner child that keeps showing up wanting acknowledgment. I saw in my patients what I saw in myself; the wounded part that did not mature emotionally. I wanted to create a book and a workbook that would combine all of the types of therapy approaches I went through myself and those I use in my office to help you explore the many dimensions of yourself in a very clear, thoughtful process. Know that you are reading this book for a reason and you are ready to explore these parts of yourself. Know that the answers are within you. All you have to do is find the courage to be vulnerable and begin the process of exploring with your lost inner child. All my best, Robert Jackman
