A quest to make peace with your past, release the burdens you carry for your ancestry and embrace the gifts of the present.How we treat our inner child reflects on every aspect of our lives. It is the foundation of our habits and of our self-worth. When we deny, reject, or criticize our own innocence and vulnerability, we hinder our capacity for authenticity and connection. We are desperate for a semblance of control because we felt powerless as a child, and we attempt to protect ourselves by directing arrows of judgment, criticism, and negativity towards ourselves and others.Political hatred, discrimination, and crime can all be traced to childhood wounding. These harmful behaviors, along with depression, anxiety, and self-doubt, are the inner child''s desperate call for help. Our younger selves are still trying to get their needs met, and it is now our responsibility to meet these needs. Nobody else can. Until we meet our own needs, we blame our parents, our partners, and the world. We are stuck in a triangle of disempowerment in which only three roles are available: victim, villain and rescuer. We cycle through all three of these roles depending on the circumstance. In each one of these roles, we are looking for self-worth outside ourselves and feel resentful and powerless.This book teaches us how to step out of this triangle and the layers of story we have been telling ourselves, becoming our own guide on an epic inner quest. It is an invitation to write a new story, to finally meet our needs and take full responsibility for our lives. To do this, we step outside of linear time and journey back to significant moments of our childhood, bringing our adult self along, with all of our acquired life-experience, to offer the support that was needed at the time.
