There is a child inside you who never grew up.They have been waiting for you to come back for them.

The relationship anxiety that surfaces when someone you love seems distant. The shame that makes authentic self-expression feel dangerous. The anger that erupts from nowhere. The specific quality of longing that never quite feels satisfied.

These are not character flaws. They are the intelligent adaptations of a child who learned to survive a specific childhood - and who is still running those same programs in your adult life.

The Child Who Still Lives in You

is a comprehensive, compassionate guide to inner child healing - from first contact with the inner child to the full integration of the healed self - written by a clinical psychologist with fifteen years of experience in developmental trauma and childhood wound recovery.

Inside you will discover:

. The five core childhood wounds and how each shows up in your adult life

. How to make genuine contact with your inner child through safe, guided practices
