What aspects make people unique?

I find uniqueness in individuals that seek to better themselves. And I am no different in wanting that too. Life has too many potholes and unless we fill them, we’ll continue down that bumpy road and I for one am tired of the jarring experience this generation has thrust upon us.

Thus, when I received an invitation to review (and actually did fill out) ‘The Inner Child Healing Workbook’ by Jenn Evans, a life coach, I jumped at the opportunity.

I won’t get into my struggles as an adult but will say I found a strong correlation to a few of things while filling out the workbook and decided to give her a written review.

The workbook begins with a look back upon your childhood favorites from toys, friends, books and much more. She then has you explore childhood memories including a section on how your parents and or caregivers helped you address your inner wounds. It was here I found that I was never taught how to address childhood hurt. Raised by my grandparents I more less did as they said. Asked no questions, it was the way things were.

She enters into a self-compassion section where the very first question caught me off guard by asking for a moment when I was most proud as a child. I couldn’t think of any, honestly. I recalled sporting events I played in and did well, but again that was expected. However, the nearest thing to pride I recalled didn’t happen till my college years when I left the student newspaper as a reporter to work for a weekly and actually got paid to cover the same content I already was. 

How do I feel about my inner child came up as well. To that I have no answer as it appears I’m not sure what I’m supposed to feel. I loved my grandparents to death, and I know they did their best by wanting me to succeed in life. But I see now, by not allowing me to grow on my own as a youth has taken its toll. 

Jenn’s workbook is a start in the right direction by helping identify key character flaws. Which, one of mine, is expecting others to think like me. Hopefully her and I can work together and help resolve it or at least allow me to learn what is acceptable as an expectation as opposed to those that are not.

‘Expectations,’ after all, are what led me to agreeing to this to begin with. While finding out if mine were set too high or I was simply taken advantage of by the soul that has been haunting me for the past two years is my goal.

My recommendation to all healing, especially those just starting out, is to get a copy of ‘The Inner Child Healing Workbook’ and see where it leads you. It’s definitely helped me.
