Inner Child Healing Workbook: Setting Boundaries Finding Peace and Cleaning up Your Mental Mess (Guided Journals for Mental Health) Paperback – October 28, 2021

Overall, this is a good workbook for people looking to explore the ways their childhoods made them who they are and how/why they might want to heal old wounds for a better present and future. I highly recommend that people make sure they have a support system in place and perhaps a therapist before embarking on this journey.

I'm not usually one for guided journaling, but this one, I found helpful. Most of the questions were helpful when it comes to looking back on your childhood and finding yourself so you can get your life in order and on the road to healing. Good for anyone.

It's pretty good, especially about my experience regarding my father and biological family that abandoned me for whatever reason, I was able to right my truth forgive the situation and I am currently moving on.

Giving it 4 stars, because I didn't feel like it was exactly 3, where i thought it was above average in a few things. It's a workbook, and it involves a lot of thought and energy to complete with the goal to do a lot of self reflection and come to terms with your emotions, and set some goals (even if it's not as cut and dry or spelled out like that). I liked the 6 categories, felt like there was a lot of care and attention, but just like anything you get out of it what you put in.

Have you ever thought about where your beliefs and values come from? For most of us, the mindset we are operating with today (positive or negative) is heavily influenced by our past relationships, especially those with caretakers. This journal contains dozens of helpful prompts that you can use to examine your past and work through issues you are currently facing.

This book can help you get over past traumas, and really understand your pain. The prompts are useful and challenge your beliefs. Healing can be hard in the beginning but rewarding in the end. This book attempts to do exactly that.

This is a very nice journal with prompts for self reflection and also reflection on major life events in our past.

The stated purpose behind this journal is as follows: "The process of acknowledging your inner child mostly just involves recognizing and accepting things that caused you pain in childhood. Bringing these hurts out into the light of day can help you begin to understand their impact."I'm not certain it's that easy. As some others have pointed out, the prompts or questions in this journal have no context around them. What if people answer the questions and don't understand their impact? I suppose the author does provide the following caution on the first page, "if necessary, seek the advice of a professional."The journal is divided into 6 categories (relationships with others, happiness and play, negative emotions and experiences, self-reflection, messages to others, moving forward), for a total of 101 questions, followed by a bunch of "inner-child affirmations". I don't doubt that the questions, either individually or collectively, could potentially help people, however, there doesn't seem to be any coherent flow or logical order to them. There is no credible "face" with professional credentials to this journal. It could have been written by a high-school freshman who picked a bunch of random thoughts from some child psychology textbooks on his bedroom bookshelf.3 stars is probably generous.
