The Inner Child lives within all of us, it’s the part of us that feels emotions and is playful, intuitive, and creative. Usually hidden under our grown-up personas, the Inner Child holds the key to intimacy in relationships, physical and emotional well-being, recovery from addictions, and the creativity and wisdom of our inner selves.

Recovery of Your Inner Child is the only book that shows you how to have a firsthand experience of your Inner Child—actually feeling its emotions and recapturing its sense of wonder—by writing and drawing with your non-dominant hand. Expanding on the highly acclaimed technique introduced in The Power of Your Other Hand, here Dr. Capacchione shares scores of hands-on activities that will help you to embrace your Vulnerable Child and your Angry Child, find the Nurturing Parent within, and finally discover the Creative and Magical Child that can heal your life.

    This book is insightful for everyone. I agree it is way more beneficial for people with mental health problems or people who are having trouble with self love but I still enjoy this book and doing the activities. My husband and I have been doing the activities together and it's been great bonding time for us, as well as learning new things about each other.

    I was abandoned as an infant, endured child abuse, was raped repetitively at age 12 for over a year, developed PTSD, went through many unhealthy relationships after that, got married to an abusive man, and am just now getting a divorce. This book is incredible. Anyone who has experienced trauma or even just heartbreak should read this. Doing the activities in this book has been more beneficial to me than any CBT or DBT therapy i've ever done.

    Inner child concept is tried & true. So many of my clients in counseling struggle w/emotional responses because they don’t know that they are still impacted by certain events, circumstances, conditions as their child selves, rather than their adult selves. Good adjunct to counseling sessions. I recommend it to so many of my clients.

    I have bought at least three copies of this book and read it the same number of times. A self help toolkit in a book, i find the exercises easy to follow . Delving deeper into and rediscovering my inner child is not only interesting, what i have noticed is kids also get drawn to me each time i do a 'heavier' dose of that work, i.e. work on the exercises for a week! I still do not understand why, but it does not stop me from enjoying their presence and attention! I am now following Lucia Capacchione!

    Currently going through a divorce and realizing in the wake of it that I've struggled with codependency and inauthenticity my whole life. I've begun a program that prescribes getting in touch with your inner child to cultivate authenticity but when you've stuffed it inside for so long it's not an easy task. I've had this book for two days and I'm just beginning it but two days lf exercises has taught me so much about myself already! If you grew up with violence and abuse, who you really are likely got tucked aside so you could survive. But healing comes from bringing that child out from hiding, this book is amazing tool to that end!

    One of the problems with a lot of self-help books is that they are great as far as providing information, but they don't really help readers integrate the learning at a deeper level. In Recovery of Your Inner Child, Capacchione lays out a beautiful plan for helping readers speak directly with their Inner Child by writing with their non-dominant hand. It is an ingenious system that helps people bypass the rational mind and connect directly with their emotion so they can do some deep healing work on their own. As a dating and relationship coach, I have recommended this book to many of my clients.

    I bought this book since it sounded promising for helping me connect with my abused inner child. I gave it to my therapist to see if she thought it would help. She said it was worth a try so I did the work in her office on one of my visits. I was amazed at the depth of emotion it brought up for me. I was sobbing and conversing with my inner child and I was drained with the emotion by the end. I would truly recommend this as a therapeutic tool, but would caution you to do the work with a trained therapist because the feelings can be overwhelming, especially if you suffered from some major abuse.

    GREAT BOOK...I have been trying to contact my inner child all my life...being a victim of abuse through out my child hood, I NOW realize I was locked away inside of an adult...trying to protect myself from further pain, missing out sooooo much of my life. This book is easy to understand with drawings, words anyone who was abused as a child can relate to. Very comforting. I have read the book through, now I have gone back and turned several pages down..which have helped me understand about myself With an awesome therapist I have, with this book, in time I will be able to see the light at the end of my tunnel...
