A recovery and growth handbook for anyone who feels empty - but doesn't know why.

Ten questions to ask yourself, right now:

• Do you have a sense that something is wrong, but you don't know what it is?
• Do you have a feeling that you are hollow inside, that you are empty or have a void within?
• Do you react badly to rejection?
• Do you often feel sad, unhappy or down for no obvious reason?
• Would you describe yourself as highly sensitive?
• Do you have problems with relationships and intimacy?
• Do you engage in addictive behavior - alcohol,drugs,gambling,shopping,food,sex,work, exercise?
• Do you have low self-esteem or self-worth - are you not 'good enough'?
• Do you have a sense of being numb to your feelings?
• Do you rarely experience true joy and happiness?

If you have answered 'yes' to most of these questions,there is a strong chance you have experienced emotional neglect or trauma as a child. An emotionally neglected child may struggle to form strong and secure attachments as an adult. They may feel hollow or empty,worthless (or overly important),judge themselves harshly and struggle with addictive tendencies - drinking,eating or exercising too much,for example. If this describes you,Heal Your Inner Child will change your life and give you back the love,compassion and authenticity you needed as a child, and deserve as an adult.
