Healing The Child Within: Discovery and Recovery for Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families
by Charles L. Whitfield M.D.
from Health Communications, Inc.
Have you ever heard of your inner child? Well, this is the classic book that started it all.
In 1987, Charlie Whitfield's breakthrough concept of the child within—that part of us which is truly alive, energetic, creative and fulfilled—launched the inner child movement. Healing the Child Within describes how the inner child is lost to trauma and loss, and how by recovering it, we can heal the fear, confusion and unhappiness of adult life.
Eighteen years and more than a million copies sold later, Healing the Child Within is a perennial selling classic in the field of psychology. And it is even more timely today than it was in 1987. Recent brain research, particularly on the effects of trauma on the brain of developing children, has supported Whitfield's intuitive understanding as a psychiatrist.

Codependence / The Dance of Wounded Souls
by Robert Burney
from Joy to You & Me Enterprises
This joyously inspirational Spiritual book presents a set of beliefs about the meaning and purpose of life from a Cosmic Perspective that combines Twelve Step Recovery Principles with Ancient Metaphysical Truths. It explains why a New Age has dawned in human consciousness on planet Earth and explores the interrelationship between subjects that range from the Bible, Buddha, and Jesus to quantum physics, molecular biology, and AIDS. The belief system the book is based upon is exemplified by this quote from The Dance of Wounded Souls: "We are not sinful, shameful human creatures who have to somehow earn Spirituality. We are Spiritual Beings having a human experience. We are here to experience and learn, to Touch and to feel." The author, a therapist who specializes in codependence/inner child healing, not only explains the big picture of how we are all ONE, part of one Cosmic energy interaction that is unfolding perfectly, he also offers insights into how the individual being can lovingly change their relationship with self and life in order to transform their human experience into a much more enjoyable adventure. This is a life-changing, life-affirming book.

Forgiveness/Loving the Inner Child
by Louise Hay
from Hay House
Through the visualization techniques on this CD, Louise L. Hay creates a safe atmosphere so that you can forgive others and love the child within you. Your inner child depends on you for the love and approval that you may not have received when you were a child. Going within and learning to love and comfort that inner child will bring many wonderful changes to the quality of your life.
“Many times we hold on to old hurts and punish ourselves today for something someone did to us when we were children. That doesn’t make any sense at all. The past only exists in our minds. It’s the inner child that really needs the healing, because the inner child is the one who has had all of the pain. Love is the most powerful healing force there is, and the pathway to love is through forgiveness.”
—Louise L. Hay
