Publisher's summary

The Inner Child lives within all of us, it's the part of us that feels emotions and is playful, intuitive, and creative. Usually hidden under our grown-up personas, the Inner Child holds the key to intimacy in relationships, physical and emotional well-being, recovery from addictions, and the creativity and wisdom of our inner selves.

Recovery of Your Inner Child is the only book that tells you how to have a firsthand experience of your Inner Child - actually feeling its emotions and recapturing its sense of wonder - by writing and drawing with your non-dominant hand. Expanding on the highly acclaimed technique introduced in The Power of Your Other Hand, here Dr. Capacchione shares scores of hands-on activities that will help you to embrace your Vulnerable Child and your Angry Child, find the Nurturing Parent within, and finally discover the Creative and Magical Child that can heal your life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Depressing if you're a parent

Having to deal with your own problems is something, but do that while parenting and leaving your mark on your children is something else entirely. This needs a lot of time to be processed.

Overall the book is good so far. I like the ideas it presents. The only pain point is the dialogs, they are powerful, but they should have been done differently (without the constant parent-child announcement)

The concept is good, the inner child re-enactments are distracting

The concept of inner child work and how to tap into it is phenomenal, however the inner child re-enactments are distracting. I would read rather than listen to this one.

Not Usedul

I thought it was a scientific book something more advanced than I'm ok you're OK, but nothing like that. It's a lot of theories that I didn't find useful or logical at all.

Super Annoying Audible Version

I could have probably gotten interested in the book, but the “baby” and “child” voices in the sample dialogues within the narrative were beyond annoying and distracting. These kinds of “scripts” are boring enough when listening to a book rather than reading it, but the addition of the baby voices made it unbearable. Extremely silly choice for delivery. Do not recommend

Could be much shorter

There are a lot of exercises in this book so if you are a type of person who listens to audio books while driving, walking or doing something else then it will be hard to follow up.
Every chapter is the same by structure which becomes quite annoying after a while starts to feel that all content is similar but the book is way too long, was very hard to finish for me.
Despite the fact that the book organized poorly there are a lot good ideas so if you like doing exercises and have a lot of free time this book is for you.
