January 17, 2023Simon Chapple's "How to Heal Your Inner Child" is one of my top highlights for 2023 in the non-fiction category. Personally, this book spoke to me on so many levels, and the activities ingrained are profoundly insightful, one that requires a high level of awareness and honesty. I loved the writing style; it felt relaxed and friendly, and technical terms were clarified and deciphered exceptionally well. Multiple moments and connections throughout my reading experience helped establish the influence of the past on my current behaviours, which I am incredibly grateful for. I am still working through the activities, and my resolve to have a better outcome for myself is strengthened daily. I read 5% daily, and I found this approach helpful. The process of empathy and kindness shines throughout the book, which is necessary when walking down memory lane. I will return to this book as I face triumphs and challenges in my healing journey.
Do not skip this if you want to make peace with your past and your parents and change your current habits and behaviours.
