This book presents a practical, compassionate program for identifying and healing the wounded “inner child” created by dysfunctional family systems, showing how shame, addiction, codependency and chronic relationship problems often trace to unmet childhood needs and multigenerational patterns; through case studies, clear explanations of family roles and dynamics, and guided exercises (inner‑child work, reparenting, boundary-setting and group support), it offers tools for reclaiming self-worth, breaking destructive cycles and building healthier adult relationships.
