This is a reasonably good basic self help book, but it is quite basic and repetitive. It is a good place to start though

An interesting read and great for an introduction to the exploration of childhood trauma.

I would recommend this for someone who is beginning their self-awareness journey, though suggest the content is too basic for trained professionals.

While this book at some good information in it, it felt very repetitive and seemed to be lacking in scientific evidence and support. I would have liked to see more science behind the things mentioned. It does however give some good advice on the topic and is a great starting point for people who are just starting their healing journey.

I want to thank Netgalley for an advanced ARC

I requested this because since June I have been on a journey for self-help books with inner shadow work, healing inner Child and also ways to learn new habits and also find new ways to improve my mental health.

Reading this book was interesting and I Did find some useful parts that I have taken to move forward with, but over the whole book some of what it was talking about became repetitive.... do I think this book could help others ..YES I DO.... but do I think this book was for me, not exactly but I am happy I read it and see where it was going.

If anyone wants to start their self-help/ Healing journey then do pick this up because everyone can take something from this book to help them move forward.

This feels like a book by someone who knows exactly what you have experienced in life, someone who has been there too and found a way to heal and get on with life. A powerful, understanding and helpful book that immediately makes you feel less alone and then holds your hand till you heal and find a better place.

Very interesting, with good information! Good for self reflection and kind of confrontational at moments. It's a heavy intense read. I made a lot of notes and I will reread this book!

This book was informative, but when I tried to download the workbook to actually do the quizzes and exercises the link just led me to another copy of the same book, although the KU cover said “workbook.” I tried several times but could not seem to find the actual workbook, even when I directly searched it on Google. A good idea, but I not super practical without access to the workbook.

It took me a while to get through this book, not because it was badly written or unhelpful but because of its heavy content.
The book takes the reader on a journey of self reflection, understanding and acceptance.
The structure is well planned and offers the reader an opportunity to learn new things step by step. It’s easy to get overwhelmed when it comes to healing and letting go but the reading experience felt guided and I never got lost in my memories. I also liked how the author explains everything in detail, so no matter how far you are in your healing journey, you are not left behind.
This is a book I will probably reread several times and with every reread, there will be new things to learn and realize. Truly a great resource.

Although all themes are treated with care, I would still advise to only read the book if you feel ready to accept the past and all that happened to you and how it still affects you now.

How to Heal Your Inner Child and Let Go of What Hurts You
Freeing Myself of Negativity
by SAIRA P KHAN

A very useful book. I, of course, could not read this in a sitting.I grabbed a journal and took notes. It is helpful for most people. Actually ALL people. I loved how The writer knew the big secret of not being a self-help book with no real help. Thanks to SAIRA P KHAN for keeping it real.

Oh my gosh, I love this book cover and the title. I had to read it to learn more about inner child healing. I was familiar with the topic but Khan goes into such detail that I was able to learn new techniques. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Four stars.
