When Time Doesn't Heal

by: Dr. M. L. Nichols

Healing the Child Within

by: Charles Whitfield, M.D.

Oftentimes people have problems in getting over or beyondan emotional or traumatic event in their life. When time doesn’t heal or complete its job and all seems hopeless, yet,there is still help found in this book. Overcomingloss includes all forms of losses, in which there is some form of emotionalattachment. These could include death ofa loved one, the break up of a relationship such as divorce, losing acompanion, a pet, a sports loss or whatever. Any or all of these can be a major catastrophic loss for an individual,some, even causing death. As alreadyindicated the healing process goes beyond just traditional methodologies, suchas death and dying as explained by Kubler Ross. It includes any emotional loss. All problems have solutions. Many solutions are found in this book.

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.
