Lebensfroh trotz schwieriger Kindheit

Finding new zest for life - recognizing and healing childhood psychological injuries. The mother may have had little time, the father reacted strongly even over trivial things: almost everyone remembers situations in their childhood when they felt unfairly treated or unloved by their parents. Often, all these deeply felt, often repressed feelings from childhood, such as fear, abandonment, anger, or sadness, overshadow adult life because they remain stored in our 'inner child' for life. I hope that this book will give you the courage to face the wounds of your childhood in order to let go of the old burdens and thereby become free for a happy, joyful life. (Dorothee Döring)

The experiences of our childhood have a lasting impact on our lives. Often they are hurtful and traumatizing. If we lack the basic trust that is established in the first years of life, we may struggle to develop self-confidence and enter into happy relationships as adults. Dorothee Döring shows us ways to face our "inner child," how reconciliation with parents can succeed, and how we can break the vicious circle of passing on wounds we have suffered. Authentic case studies from her own counseling practice and astonishing life stories of celebrities encourage us to face the "child in us."
