 Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing your Inner Child
Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing your Inner Child
In this book Bradshaw (1992) who had PBS television series based on the major ideas of this book puts forth the theory of a "Wounded Inner Child". He hypothesizes that most of our interpersonal issues emerge and sustain because our inner child is wounded . Further, each one of us has this inner child wounded to some extent and each family is dysfunctional to a certain point.
The author might be very right but I tend to disagree with this theory of inner child. The book contains exercises that you can take to see at what level of development your inner child got wounded and then ideas to put into practice for the healing of your inner child. The book might interest you if you have plenty of time on your hand.
 Loved this Book
Once you start reading this book you can not put it down. Great self-help book with lots of homework to do. If you are willing to take the time you will find and champion your inner child within you.
So far, very good
I'm only starting the third chapter and feel like this book will help me learn how to heal myself of the scars of an abusive childhood by taking on the role of being a good parent to myself. Who knows, maybe life can be good afterall!
John's is go-to stuff
John Bradshaw was hugely popular and seemingly ubiquitous in the late 80s/early 90s and he's still going pretty strong. That's for good reason: The guy was a "mess" and he is brilliant, funny, curious, strong, down-to-earth, and he's been through a lot of 'hard life' himself. He knows from whence he speaks, and his books (and workshops) are amazingly helpful to what I would imagine is a great majority of the people who read his books and attend his workshops. He doesn't preach, he doesn't pull superiority, and he doesn't (duh!) use guilt or shame to get his info across. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's dealing with ...life. Something in it will definitely ring a bell ...maybe a lot. If you need some help with dysfunctions of many sorts, John's a go-to guy. Many many seeming conundrums have been demystified by his material/workshops. Give him a try --he can help.
