Are you outwardly successful but inwardly feel like a big kid? Do you aspire to be a loving parent but too often “lose it” in hurtful ways? Do you crave intimacy but sometimes wonder if it’s worth the struggle? Are you plagued by constant, vague feelings of anxiety or depression? If any of this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing the hidden but damaging effects of a painful childhood—carrying within you a “wounded inner child” who is crying out for attention and healing. John Bradshaw’s step-by-step process of exploring the unfinished business of each developmental stage helps us break away from destructive family rules and roles, freeing ourselves to live responsibly in the present. Then, says Bradshaw, the healed inner child becomes a source of vitality, inviting us to find new joy and energy in living. Homecoming includes a wealth of unique case histories and interactive techniques, including questionnaires, guided meditations, affirmations, and letter-writing to the inner child. These classic therapies, which were pioneering when introduced, continue to be validated by new discoveries in attachment research and neuroscience. No one has ever brought them to a popular audience more effectively and inspiringly than John Bradshaw. Review: Deep, Painful Tilling in the Rugged Soil of Our Pasts ... - Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child I cannot think of another published work that deals effectively with healing the wounded inner child, like this book. Methodical and delibrate, Bradshaw explores territory unknown to our present conscious, but quite familiar to our subconscious. The earliest of memories, whether peripheral, non-descript "gut" feelings or vivid, clear, sensory-engaged recollections, can be stirred up with the meditations and mental exercises outlined by Bradshaw. Those that are considering purchasing this book, and are reading the reviews to help your decision process, probably already discussed this with a trained spiritual counselor to truly do the work necessary, to undo years of damage in early childhood that somehow manifested itself into inappropriate social behaviors (misplaced anger or rage, attention-seeking, sexualized friendships, marital infidelity, covert sex, pornography), defense mechanisms (disassociation, projection, passing blame or guilt) and addictions (chemical, sexual dependencies). Emotional wounds sustained at such an innocent age really cannot be healed properly until an emotionally healthy parent, particularly a fully-functioning, fit mother, can teach proper coping skills that later fully develop and become integrated into adulthood. Some of us have not been as fortunate to have a parent, much less two, that offered appropriate emotional guidance. Those that need innerchild work done, are those that were raised by damaged parents and damage is passed onto their children as abuse, whether sexual, emotional, physical, and/or spiritual. Proper intervention is required to recalibrate the wiring in emotionally unstable adults and get them up to their appropriate EQ. In doing the innerchild work, I caution those that try to accomplish this in solitude. The person in meditation may not know how to cope with the unearthed emotions (typically strong feelings of shame, guilt, and fear of unknown origin) unless a properly trained spiritual counselor provides enough guidance and tools to cope with the unpleasant, repressed feelings. It is also important to conduct the tasks in the order Bradshaw has outlined - Start at the infancy stage, do the meditation, and work on the emotions that surface, if at all. The best indication of how much damage was done to an individual is if the first task meditating at the infancy stage evokes a surge of unknown feelings. Then the work needed to get healthy requires the entire process suggested by Bradshaw. Skipping a chapter/exercise is not an option if the goal is to get emotionally fully integrated and healthy. In closing, this book is really a new beginning to properly train and socialize a wounded adult back into society, the workplace, family life. Essentially, the process is likened to that of an infant learning to crawl, stand, walk, and explore the world around them, with the loving and caring guidance that lacked in childhood. Bradshaw also includes a section on forgiving and releasing resentment and bitterness of the perpetrator(s) of the emotional damage. I've witnessed miracles of healing because of the innerchild methodology, in lock-step with spiritual rebirth. Many times, the latter is overlooked when in fact the two complement each other in the healing and deliverance of an addicted, depressed adult. The spiritual aspect is alluded to, but not expounded upon, by Bradshaw. However, this omission does not affect the overall success of the process. I still give the book Five Stars and would recommend this to anyone in need of deep healing. Review: This book changed my life! - This was the first book I read on my journey in personal development. That was almost 25 years ago. I was at my lowest point. Battling depression, social anxiety and the heavy belief that I am defective due to childhood trauma and so many family dysfunctions. I was emotionally flat-lined. My heart felt heavy, yet hollow. I pretended to be happy on the outside, but on the inside I was dead. Reading this book unlocked so many things for me and helped me begin to heal. I have recommended this book many times over. Today I am an accomplished speaker, author and coach who has transformed the lives of many and I feel like I'm just getting started with serving humanity in a greater capacity. This book was my beginning point. And I am forever grateful for the healing that has taken place. It truly is a journey!! You never wake up and think, "Well, I'm all done healing and learning!" But, with tools like this book, you can heal and actually feel happiness and joy. Thank you John Bradshaw! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #22,305 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #89 in Interpersonal Relations (Books) #226 in Happiness Self-Help #512 in Personal Transformation Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,025) | | Dimensions | 5.94 x 0.79 x 8.98 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0553353896 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0553353891 | | Item Weight | 11 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | February 1, 1992 | | Publisher | Bantam | ## Images ![Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qgvM3GJzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deep, Painful Tilling in the Rugged Soil of Our Pasts ... *by A***C on May 2, 2007* Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child I cannot think of another published work that deals effectively with healing the wounded inner child, like this book.

That was almost 25 years ago. I was at my lowest point. Battling depression, social anxiety and the heavy belief that I am defective due to childhood trauma and so many family dysfunctions.

Thank you John Bradshaw! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learn a lot - You Can't change Your Past, but You Can Change your future *by A***R on January 26, 2024* You don't know what you don't know. We all learn different behaviors from our family of origin. But little kids may or may not know that their family is dysfunctional or not. That's the "normal" that they grow up with and bring into future relationships. Both good and bad. Unfortunately too many of us remember the bad and bring that into future relationships which turn out another dysfunctional generation. The book is a good read. There are also some videos on YouTube about this topic that give the reader insight and guidance. It helped me a lot. This is a secular book - there are few mentions of forgiveness. But the author told many instances from his own childhood that too many of us can relate to. Learn from his experiences and the guidance he provides. Make improvements in your own life.
