Description

Our beliefs are the lens through which we view reality. It only takes a moment to become trapped in old emotions and negative beliefs, and this drastically influences our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

People who avoid self-awareness often fear confronting the dark child within them. However, if we accept its existence, along with our fears, feelings of inferiority and shame, sadness, and despair, then we will reconcile with it.

Psychologist Stefanie Stahl has developed a new, effective approach to "work" with the child we hide within us. The exercises in the book will help us break free from old mental patterns that lead our lives to dead ends and change our beliefs and behaviors in order to improve our relationships and live happily.

This book is for you if...

  • ...you want to understand how your childhood experiences affect your current life, your thoughts, and your actions.
  • ...you feel that your fears and insecurities prevent you from living the life you want.
  • ...you are looking for a practical, step-by-step system to heal old wounds and build your self-esteem.
  • ...you are ready to meet, embrace, and heal your inner child in order to have healthier relationships.

What will help you improve?

This self-awareness guide will help you improve:

  • Your understanding of the deeper causes of your problems, connecting them to your childhood experiences.

  • Your self-esteem, by learning to give your inner child the love and security it lacked.

  • Your relationships, as you will stop reacting based on childhood traumas and start functioning from your adult self.

  • Your ability to manage your emotions and set healthy boundaries.

The Method: What to Expect?

Stefanie Stahl has developed an extremely effective and practical method. Inside the book you will find:

  • A clear and comprehensible approach that uses the metaphor of the “Shadow Child” (our wounds and negative beliefs) and the “Sun Child” (our positive sides).
  • Identification of the 4 basic emotional needs (connection, autonomy, pleasure, recognition) and how their absence affects you.
  • A wealth of practical exercises to discover your beliefs, strengthen your “Adult Self” and heal your inner child.
  • A guide that works as a personal self-awareness workbook.

    It is not just a simple self-improvement book. It is a tool, a working method from an experienced psychologist, with numerous exercises: How to reveal and heal the dark child within us, which with its beliefs and defense strategies continues to dominate and complicate our adult life. How to discover and strengthen the bright child, and to transition from defense strategies to beneficial strategies for personal and social development.

    Make sure to have a notebook or index cards for notes. You will refer back to these throughout your study and will consult them whenever the dark child makes things difficult for you.

    A book that as you read it, you discover new aspects of your personality.
