'Healing the Child Within' by Charles Whitfield--First Ever Book Club Live Stream

Need help? I have two support groups, one on Facebook and one on my website (both are free).

*I am a former psychiatric nurse turned licensed psychotherapist and domestic violence advocate. I have both personal and professional experiencing working with people who have been through all types of abuse, and I share both. The information discussed on my channel is not meant to replace therapy; it’s designed to be educational and supportive.
My passion is reaching those who have experienced emotional and psychological abuse and helping them to rediscover their authentic self so that they can go forward and live their best life.

Dr Charles W is amazing... is great place to go once you get past the narcisssim/codep identification. This is a process like recovery...I forget to thank you Dana for your help. I had been sober for 5.5 yrs but was living poorly emotionally for about 4 yrs of that time . I started this new process of recovery/healing in 12/2017. I finally was able to dig deeper with a great local spiritual guide. My last 1.5 yrs been going through this adult child/ codep/inner child/ recovery. Dana, I thank you for help thru the cold winter of 2018. Narcissism is just the starting point, I had dug deeper to find childhood trauma... We repeat what we don't heal. my sobriety date is 8/21/12.

omg i need to read this book - narcs love telling folks they somehow innately suck at things they love to do. when you grow up around a lot of narcs they market you like the best things you have to offer the world are narcissistic supply and self denial. it takes so much of this unique combination of courage and humility to defy what the narcs stuffed into our portfolios. paradoxically, the inner child is better than the higher self at this. pursuing one's heart's desire (especially in the face of active discouragement from those who purport to love us the most!) is one of the few life skills that require little "growing up" to master. in fact, some of the "mature" values we eventually adopt (e.g. pragmatism or thrift) may actually extinguish it altogether, whether we are around narcs or not.

I so agree with you Dana on the terms. So many programmes and films and court judgements in the media omit this important fact! Personality disorders are not in the public domain/media. I mean every time a criminal programme is on or a drama and there's an extreme case it's never even touched on!! I mean WTF?
By the way I love your show and often listen through the night, it's very helpful and comforting. I'm in the uk FYI. Xxx

Dana thanks for all your generous insight. you have resonated with me in ways others cannot.

[atone]

I resonate with this so much. just found your channel, I thought something was wrong with me I was abused as a child I am learning how I was codependent and event into relationship s with the wrong men. I'm single for 6 months after leaving a 6year relationship with a narc. hell and back again and still putting my self together again. thank you and everyone out there who has experienced this hell ....peace and love to you all.

[amandareno]

I feel u are a amazing kind person. thank u for all the help .

[madelrefugiogalindodejesus]

Thank you. It has been 3 years and 8 months since I got that book, but I just can’t pass the first 5-6 pages. I can’t read it, I feel angry and I don’t know why. Listening to your review is going to help me to finish reading it. So it isn’t as bad as I previously thought or my judgement blinded me. Lol! :). Thank you. 🌷🧘🏻‍♀️🌷

Much love and gratitude to you, Dana. " The Journey From Abandonment to Healing" by Susan Anderson. Lots of post-its on my copy.

[dionamaurud]

I love you Dana, you make my life easier <3 Your Insights and thoughts are tresors to me <3

[bebop]

also really like how ross has redefined 'codependant'
with "self love deficit disorder" ...
"emotional manipulator" is great too ...
the word 'narcissist' has very misleading connotations ...

[elsewherehouse]

I have a dismissive avoidant attachment style. I also am quite sure that I had at least two real early life traumas. Would I benefit from reading this book?

[christinegichaba]

Kindly where can I get that book??I already have soft copy I need hard copy too

[bobmedium]

The tao of fully feelings by Pete Walker?

[lillywhiteloveyourneigjbor]

My husband does not aknowlage anything he just yells and right fights about what happened then he says I don't know what's the matter with you why do you keep throwing the past in my face when I already told you how sorry I am for hurting you. I really which action what incident the ones you lied about and denied happening. Obviously you don't get it and until you have told the truth and admit you lied about everything how will it be possible to forgive you for "Hurting My Feelings "

[danielraypickrel]

Would you be willing to offer your 12 take aways among these comments?

[andyprompt]

I don't know why, but I always feel super uncomfortable with Ross Rosenberg on video - I feel that he is condescending towards women and always has this sort of sly grin that makes me feel uneasy.
