Homecoming: Reclaiming & championing your inner child

The people who attend John Bradshaw’s workshops bring with them persistent problems such as addiction, depression, troubled relationships and chronic dissatisfaction. He seeks to help them to reach back to the source of their problems - their childhood and adolescence - and understand how the wounds received then can continue to contaminate their adult lives. The aim is to offer them a chance to reclaim and nurture their inner child and grow up again. In this book Bradshaw describes what happens at these workshops and explains how readers can, by using the questionnaires provided, try to look back to their childhood and see what they needed, and didn’t get, in order to grow in a natural, healthy way. He also tells the story of his own experiences and how they transformed his thinking and behaviour. The author has written two previous books, both of which accompanied television shows in the USA.
