Book Reviews of A Gift to Myself: A Personal Workbook and Guide to "Healing the Child Within"

Book Review: Thank God for this book
Summary: 5 Stars

My only complaint is that I had hoped to relieve all my internal emotional pain quickly, like by this weekend, and instead find it will take years! Whitfield recommends working this book over a 2-5 year time period, and my heart sank at the thought of hurting for that much longer! I now see that recovery is a process & there's no instant fix. It took all my life to make me this screwed up, no one could begin to fix my life overnight!

I started the book last month and left off at chapter 3. What I learned in Chapter 2 has taken me a month so far just to internalize it all, because I found that every aspect of my life is ruled by numerous fears! No wonder I am miserable & stuck! Some of the fears were ideas I had never considered for myself & now that Whitfield's questionnaire has so clearly pointed them out, I know they are ALL true for me. I instantly started feeling a bit of relief that finally, someone knows what the hell they are talking about & that I can trust that Whitfield won't take advantage of my vulnerability to feed me trash. I am slowly able to let go of more & more knowing I have this companion workbook to help me every step of the way, from recognizing the fears that sabotage my life & happiness, to discovering all of the many losses I never knew to grieve, to guiding me gently into that healthy necessary grief without fear of losing control of my emotions. I trust the process outlined in this workbook & know it to be the most valuable workbook I have ever & will ever, buy! If it had cost $100 it would have been worth every penny, luckily it was around $10. What a bargain for finally knowing all of the answers to the nagging doubts that have plagued me all of my 37 years. It was that voice, MY inner child, deep inside, begging to be recognized, begging to be loved & given a hug, wanting badly to come out & play & get some sun on her beautiful face.

Do yourself a favor, get this book! If you ONLY do chapter TWO it will be worth the price! I don't believe anyone can discover that many truths as in Ch. 2, and then ignore it and put this book down. I could guarantee that for any one who comes to this book open-minded & really ready to find out why they are so miserable, you will finally breathe a true sign of relief & know you're in the right place & that your misery is temporary. Inside you is the source of great happiness, fulfillment, imagine never being lonely or empty again! Imagine knowing everything you need to know when you need to know it, and realizing the source of this wisdom resides inside your self right now? Wow. Get it, work it, and finally, heal your wounded inner self & let the gorgeous real you come out & shine.
