The Healing Your Aloneness Workbook

Book excerpt: Heal the aloneness, emptiness, and false beliefs that lead to addictive behavior. With this six-step Bonding(R) process, you can heal past wounds by re-parenting the Inner Child and overcome obstacles that prevent you from progressing in life. Based on the pioneering principles featured in Healing Your Aloneness and Inner Bonding, this easy-to-use workbook gently guides you through a powerful spiritual healing process. Whether you use it in conjunction with aforementioned books or on its own, this guide can connect us with our Inner Child, our loving Adult, and our Higher Power ultimately to create loving relationships with others. Through dynamic exercises, guided visualizations, and inner dialogues with both the Inner Child and Higher Power, Chopich and Paul give us the tools to create a powerful, spiritually connected inner loving Adult. It is a lack of a loving Adult that leads to aloneness, alienation, emptiness, and resulting addictions to substances, processes, and people. This process allows an integrated self to emerge, one that combines the playfulness, creativity, and intuition of a child with the wisdom, strength, and nurture of a loving Adult. The Healing Your Aloneness Workbook demonstrates how you can connect with your essence to help cultivate personal empowerment and loving relationships. Erika J.
