Synopsis

For people who were emotionally and physically wounded as children, the journey to adulthood is a constant struggle with shame, self-criticism, and fear. Napier shows these adult children how to use self-hypnosis to resolve the effects of abuse, build a healing relationship with the child within, and give back the "hand-me-downs" that are causing pain.

About this title

Review

This compelling and considerate guide very gently yet powerfully shows the adult child how to develop a strong and solid sense of self.--Emily J. Marlin, C.S.W.

Sensitivity is the watchword for the self-help guide. Napier's approach is inventive as well as supportive, providing an appealing balance of insight, compassion, and clinical experience.

Teaches us how to take the risk of trusting our inner mind to heal and recreate ourselves. This is a solid and highly practical book.--Daniel L. Araoz, Ed.D.
