As you discovered through reading Healing Your Lost Inner Child, until we do our work to examine, understand and heal our wounded inner child, this part will continue to show up in our lives. In Healing Your Lost Inner Child Companion Workbook , Psychotherapist and author Robert Jackman builds on the extensive material in the book with expanded exercises to help you better understand your inner child, yourself and your wisdom so that you feel authentic and complete. This workbook features additional stories, examples and new concepts. You can read the Companion Workbook independently, but you will receive a deeper level of healing if you complete the exercises in the workbook as you read the book. Part One includes all the exercises from the book. You may find that by doing the exercises a second time your inner child will reveal even more wisdom to you. Part Two contains all new material and expands on the HEAL process, helping you develop a deeper understanding of your relationships, codependency patterns and triggers and create a self-nurturing plan.

It is very thoughtful work, complimenting the original book in an effective way, unraveling and then convalescing many more darker areas of our shadow self. I have found many ingenious tools to love myself , and get rid of aspersions society and myself have caste on myself. Highly recommended.
