by John Bradshaw
In this powerful book, John Bradshaw shows how we can learn to nurture that inner child, in essence offering ourselves the good parenting we needed and longed for. Through a step-by-step process of exploring the unfinished business of each developmental stage, we can break away from destructive family rules and roles and free ourselves to live responsibly in the present. Then, says Bradshaw, the healed inner child becomes a source of vitality, enabling us to find new joy and energy in living.
Homecoming includes a wealth of unique case histories and interactive techniques, including questionnaires, letter-writing to the inner child, guided meditations, and affirmations. Pioneering when introduced, these classic therapies are now being validated by new discoveries in attachment research and neuroscience. No one has ever brought them to a popular audience more effectively and inspiringly than John Bradshaw.

As we grow up it becomes easier to forget to listen to the inner child inside. If you were to check in with your inner child right now, what would he/she say? We get to decide what kind of relationship we have with ourselves by paying attention and listening. Do you have a relationship based on trust? Or do you push yourself too far where you don’t feel safe? In this episode of The Deep Dive with Adam Roa, I dive into how you can create more self-love and build a healthy relationship with yourself.
