Healing The Child W/In Discovery & Recovery for Adult Children of Dysfunctional

Healing The Child Within: Discovery and Recovery for Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families Author: Charles L. Whitfield, M.D. By conservative estimates, over 50% of the population have experienced childhood trauma, often in toxic family systems. In some cultures that rises to 70 - 90%. When trauma occurs in childhood, the core aspect of human consciousness, our true self, goes into hiding & is, typically, replaced w/an egotistical false self. Healing the wounds of the child w/in requires a recovery process that takes place in a supportive & safe environment. The process may involve age regression, journaling, individual, & group therapy. It is a hero's journey that builds skills in sharing w/safe people, getting to the truth, & learning from our mistakes & pain. Dr. Whitfield guides us through 4 steps to rediscovering your true self: 1. Learn to be 'real' by practicing being 'real' w/safe others. 2. Identify your healthy human needs. 3. Grieve your ungrieved hurts, traumas & loses. 4. Work through your core recovery, relationship & life issues.
