John Bradshaw wrote this book as a great source of information and as a workbook, which makes it enormously valuable. The first part describes how childhood is a crucial time for the development of basic behaviour patterns, character traits, and habits. Bad experiences and learning deficits in childhood lead to suppressed emotions, repressed anger, anxiety, insecurity, a lack of social skills, faulty anger management, compulsive behaviour, addictions, and more. As a result, many adults are actually adult children. A questionaire at the end of chapter one helps to determine if you need to do some work. In Part two John Bradshaw distinguishes five stages of child development. - Infant, age 0 - 9 months - Toddler, age 9 months - 3 years - Preschool, age 3 - 6 years - School-Age, 6 years to puberty - Adolescence, age 13 - 26 years Each stage begins with a tailor-made questionaire, which he calls Index of Suspicion. Then normal development during the stage is explained, and in contrast, he illustrates specific growth disorders and other problematic factors or events. After that he recommends that you write down as much information as possible about your family system and yourself. When done, you share it with a good, supportive friend or anyone you genuinely trust. It is important to talk about it and feel the feelings. Then you write a handwritten letter to your inner child at that age. As a response, you write a letter from this child yourself. The final step of each stage is to give your inner child kind and positive affirmations and a guided meditation that you can record and play back. Part three is about championing your wounded inner child, which means you give yourself a new childhood, a new nurturing set of rules to live your life more gracefully. Be the loving and supportive parent you wanted as a child. A change for the better can only be achieved if you do the suggested work. It takes a bit effort and time, but it's worth it.

What can I say, a great book, it's helping me through tough times, it gets heavy but gives great results.

I am currently learning this through a course and ot amazing
