Gifts from the Child Within brings a refreshing approach to guiding its listener to understanding the initial or underlying basis to their emotional suffering due to past childhood trauma. This recovery book is geared toward both the professional and layperson. It is filled with offerings from psychological, physiological, and spiritual perspectives which take the listener on a journey into the soul. It is written with sensitivity and clarity inviting the listener to search within for healing.

As the author shares her own journey of childhood abuse, the listener is asked to address issues surrounding physical, mental, spiritual, and sexual abuse. Instructions are captured to guide one toward reaching for their own child within; releasing negative emotions; recreating outdated childhood beliefs; and, to recognize the gifts the inner child has for us. The process of re-creation therapy (TM) is introduced by the author, allowing the listener who follows its guidance to reap the effects of gradual changes in self-awareness which lead to a greater understanding of the psychodynamics the child within plays in the adult life.

Included are a series of healing visualizations and autohypnosis suggestion; and sample affirmations following each chapter.
