About this listen

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 behaviour - 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.

Former heavy-drinker-turned-sobriety-coach Simon Chapple is - like you - a survivor of childhood trauma. His unique brand of straight-talking, practical yet reflective and relatable advice has helped thousands of people quit drinking, and he can help you now to move on from childhood emotional neglect to a place of happiness free from past trauma. How to Heal Your Inner Child is a stepped and safe approach to confronting your past, with space for reflective and supportive strategies that will help you to foster self-compassion and break free from the destructive behaviours that have blighted your life. Clinically endorsed and verified by a psychotherapist, this deeply personal, unflinchingly honest exploration is designed to unlock your own epiphany and support you as you journey to a happier, less troubled and more authentic self.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book is life changing! The author/narrator's voice is easy to listen to and I found it easy to relate to his story. I've managed to make many positive changes since I discovered this title and it has been incredibly helpful in my daily struggles with BPD, CPTSD, anxiety etc.

Everyone should read this book!

It’s like a quality review of the diagnosis and good techniques to manage, but I knew all of this long ago.

Ok for beginning the healing journey but nothing new if you know the basics
