EXPERIMENT Out from Your Shadows: The Step-By-Step Method for Bringing Your Inner Child Into the Light

We all long to be accepted and loved for who we really are. Ideally, the trust that we learn as children allows us to open ourselves up to others as adults--but when trauma, societal expectations, or social judgments get in the way, we often end up burying our true selves.

This book will help you discover both your shadow child, the injured, insecure part of yourself full of deep longings and scars, and your sun child, the part of you that is positive, radiant, and joyful. You'll learn which of the shadow child's self-protection strategies you're unconsciously using to shield yourself, and you'll discover how to overcome those negative influences and beliefs.It's time to befriend your inner child and give yourself the power to resolve conflicts, make your relationships stronger, and find true happiness. Because it's never too late to have a happy childhood, or to let your real step out from behind the shadows and shine.
