I read this book. The contents are simply amazing, only if you allow yourself to use it as a tool towards healing. You have got to want it. I learned things about myself that were so toxic to my well being; I was literally drowning in the toxicity of it all. I am a praying woman but I didn’t know what to pray for or how to pray for my healing until I was educated with the truth of what I learned from this book.
You know you're on the path when you start to listen to Charles Whitfield. The interconnectivity of this all is extremely important to me. I did not think I would get this far in only seven years. Sadly I lost four where I was nothing but a dry drunk doing old behaviors. Today I listen to Dr Whitfield and many others and I see where the answers lie. Straight ahead of me on this path. Best 20 minutes of my life easily
Thank you for this interview! as an Art therapist based in Italy I offer programs to people to re-awake the inner child by art. I think authentic expression through art making is a powerful way to reconnect the ego to the self and images offer a great opportunity to activate archetypal information that reveal our true self or inner child! thank you!
I just finished Pete Walker's Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving. I'm now looking, with God's help, to try to heal. I don't know what will happen next. I do, however, feel like discovering that I have CPTSD (and what that means) is something extremely valuable.
Dr. Whitfield left us on December 9th 2021. A foundation has been established in his memory to conserve his works and writings.... And preserve the continuance of his work for the benefit of others.
Loved this interview with Dr. Whitfield- a true glorious legend in the field of psychotherapy 💝❤️He has contributed immensely to ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics or dysfunctional homes), and has personally brought me deep closure. My sincerest gratitude & respect, Dr. Whitfield: I am forever grateful.
Years ago I spent a lot of time in group sessions and private sessions doing Inner Child Work. It was very beneficial, but I no longer feel a need to do this work any longer. I wonder if others have found that they evolve to a point where everything feels okay. Like it just comes naturally. Where everything is accepted and you are at peace with what is. I'm certainly not saying that this is of no use, in fact I feel that Inner Child Work was largely responsible for my present awareness.
Bob Campbell How long were u in therapy and did u have long term trauma effects as a result of childhood I think sometimes it’s easier for some to heal sooner if there’s not too much trauma in ones life
Finding your authentic self is not that hard, but you have to give yourself permission to do it, and not care what anyone else thinks, including your parents.
Dr Charles Whitfield .... his work was profound for me on my healing journey! I recommend his book and work back to everyone that has a dysfunctional childhood which is 85 to 90% of everyone.
This is wonderful knowledge for my next step in my healing process of being the scapegoat of my narc mother I’ve disconnected from for 5 yr....have great sense of relief but needed more understanding on this exact topic. To continue to move forward in my healing process. Thank-you for your great intelligence to educate self more on.
Thank you. Hiding and "paralysis" of true self. The measurement is looking at one's life which is a creation of one's beliefs and feeling of emotional safety. The covert traumas eg feelings of abandonment more difficult to identify.
Ok. I am going to commit to A Course in Miracles book with abandon. I can't afford any other therapy. They did not mention it but in this talk, I ve been lead to that. Thank you. My child is already heald. Amen.
I found this book to be remarkable in laying this process out:www.campusbookrentals.com/textbook/how-to-be-an-adult-richo/9780809132232?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgNiL7_qe3QIVHp7ACh0HWg-3EAQYAiABEgLp7PD_BwE&QRedirected=1
ACIM is natural progression of enlightenment in consciousness once you have corrected your internal labels, identifiers, balancers & bias's. Deepak Chopra and Julia Cameron are very relative in guiding sensibility with logic at this point as well.
That's very hopeful but unfortunately in my Backwoods area of America none of this information was provided in AA due to the people following conference approved literature. Fair enough I'm glad I found the group I found. I'm in a Native American meeting now and it didn't attract most of my County's regular people. Honesty open-mindedness willingness is in the big book not content Nazis sorry to say
@@krisscanlon4051yeah, I didn't understand this comment, because so many people in AA don't know about inner child work.. I'm guessing more than they used to but.. Can you say more about what you mean by not content Nazi something? what are you referring to to?
With all due respect ..primal therapy has very little to do with "screaming!". Although that was the title of Dr ArthurJanovs book...please donot be fooled!, and please donot dismiss the brilliant work of the late Dr Janov and his wife! I invite interested in this so-called inner child business to read the "New primal scream,"(primal Therapy twenty years on.) The original book in 1977 was primarily "theory"..20 years later we have the biology and the clinical! Treat yourself. Rather than cheat yourself!
If were real with unsafe people, they can hurt us. Use it against us, judge us, attack us, gaslight. Exactly what happened! Betrayals. Interesting and terrible how these painful awakenings can occure..sick really.
So many questions. The prenatal topic: since it’s a symbiotic relation, would the mothers adrenal and hormonal responses be shared and could this introduction to these chemicals cause developmental issues for the child’s ability to produce these one their own? Would a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder fall into a child within therapy treatment? Atheism: do you think a scientific approach by breaking down existence into its molecular components containing an electrical charge and that all matter in existence contains this could help the atheist feel included/a part of something greater without needing a god/religion? Last one, in PTSD where at a young age a person learns extremes of inhumane interaction, can anything beyond trust with an expectation for betrayal/disappointment be achieved?
Jeffrey Mishlove have you heard about Hew Len hooponopono Inner Child Meditation. He doesn't like to be in public but for me has very excited experience.
Excuse me, gentlemen for intercepting on your serious and most-knowledgeable conversation here, but original trauma (first) does not occur at birth but WAYYYYY before - during conception, throughout gestation and only then birth - where consciousness of the parents, then the mother and her emotions and how they effect the child marinating in the embryonic fluid for 9 months, to the eventual birth and how in most cases infants are still being separated from the mother after birth, to be placed in bassinets away from her, where all sensory in/out put is directed toward *survival*. And let us not even go into the post-birth traumas of not being held, touched, attuned to, let to cry it out etc. etc - and that's only the first year. Circumcision is not as traumatic as you would even think compared to a child neglected in their pain of being isolated, not acknowledged, left to their own devices to suffer without comfort. Whereas if a child is circumcised and they do receive all of the attention, attunement wholeheartedly and without reservation or condition - there are zero emotional scars that can be left in such a case. Read that and comment please. And for the circumcision - as it is an COMMANDMENT from the Creator of the universe to circumcise a boy at the age of 8 days, From Chabad.com *It’s interesting to note that the traditional circumcision is performed on the eighth day of the child’s life when his clotting factor has fully developed, which is optimal for healing. At the same time, the nerve endings are not completely developed which lessens the infant’s discomfort.* Do you actually believe that the Creator would want to TRAUMATIZE His children?

Ooh Wow! Makes sense. I ever found a youtube video describing how our unwilling spirit/soul refuses to be reborn but is force into a new body by bully souls controlling the reincarnation cycle.
Jesus,is coming very soon.. Please,let us all obey the words of the Lord and repent and turn back from our bad ways before it's too late... God bless all 🎶💕💖
Yes, you are correct. The collective consciousness in man is the returning of Jesus Christ. When man returns to the knowing that he is the that which he has been seeking and nothing outside of himself
I wish the rapture ready people would stop threatening everybody who doesn't believe as they do. This comment is six years old. So where's Jesus? I thought he was coming "very soon." Let me guess...he is still coming very soon, and in 6 more years, still very soon...and 20 years after that, he's still coming and it's very soon!
I did Primal therapy at the Berkeley Primal Center (Rhoda Wadler) in the 70’s-80’s. Not a good experience, waaay too much surfaced too soon, too overwhelming to integrate anything. Trauma therapy wasn’t available at that time, sad to say. Love all the Thinking Allowed podcasts, have learned so much from them, many thanks🙏❣️
Give it a couple of decades. these will be considered among the most important discussions so far on the internet. Trust me.
I read this book. The contents are simply amazing, only if you allow yourself to use it as a tool towards healing. You have got to want it. I learned things about myself that were so toxic to my well being; I was literally drowning in the toxicity of it all. I am a praying woman but I didn’t know what to pray for or how to pray for my healing until I was educated with the truth of what I learned from this book.
Now there's a glowing review!
I concur ❤
The book is amazing
This is the review I needed to find!!! Wow! Praise The Most High! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience.
You know you're on the path when you start to listen to Charles Whitfield. The interconnectivity of this all is extremely important to me. I did not think I would get this far in only seven years.

Appreciate you sharing, and gosh only 4 years!? Dang, I wish I only lost four?..decades😢
Whitfield and Bradshaw changed my life.
Mine too
God doesn’t need anyone to believe in it. Your doing it’s work by just being. Everyone is
I love when Jeffrey is surprised and says, OOOh like that. Mind you, I love just about everything about Jeffrey.
Thank you for this interview! as an Art therapist based in Italy I offer programs to people to re-awake the inner child by art.

If more people had option to do the work Dr. Charles Whitfield pioneered ,the world would be better place.
He's the genuine article.
Dr. Mishlove, you conduct the best interviews. You must have great intuition. You have opened me up to bigger world. Thank you ❤
I wish Whitfield had a channel. There is such a need for that.
Oh my yes!
Dr. Whitfield left us on December 9th 2021. A foundation has been established in his memory to conserve his works and writings.... And preserve the continuance of his work for the benefit of others.
Even listening to Mr Whitfield is calming and 'homebringing' for the inner child. Very good interview and both gentlemen do great work. Thank you!

My sincerest gratitude & respect, Dr. Whitfield: I am forever grateful.
When I need to listen several times, I know I am being resistant and am on to something deep. Thank you for interviewing Dr. Charles Whitfield.
I was diagnosed with PTSD twice, from childhood abuse. It took a lot of work to deal with it.
Years ago I spent a lot of time in group sessions and private sessions doing Inner Child Work. It was very beneficial, but I no longer feel a need to do this work any longer. I wonder if others have found that they evolve to a point where everything feels okay. Like it just comes naturally. Where everything is accepted and you are at peace with what is.

The band ‘Tears for fears,’ was founded as a reflection of janoff’s primal scream ‘therapy.’
This is wonderful knowledge for my next step in my healing process of being the scapegoat of my narc mother I’ve disconnected from for 5 yr....have great sense of relief but needed more understanding on this exact topic. To continue to move forward in my healing process.

Thank you.

I love it! Thanks and blessings from Germany!
Thank you
THINKING ALLOWED IS BACK! INFORM THE WORLD!
Thanks a lot!
Powerful stuff right here!
*Healing the Child Within* is well known in AA and NA circles.
Also in ACA. Whitfield helped contribute to the ACA Big Book second edition.
Yes, there explaining this greatly term inner child=TRUESelf

I would definitely not say well-known. A lot of people in AA don't know about it.

Louise Hay talked about it a lot.
If were real with unsafe people, they can hurt us. Use it against us, judge us, attack us, gaslight. Exactly what happened! Betrayals.
Interesting and terrible how these painful awakenings can occure..sick really.
First download and play with VLC, then you can watch this at 4X.
:)
Well spoken.
life changing stuff
After watching this, where's a good next step?
Are there any suggestible workbooks?

Therapy for me is banging the crap out of my drums and cymbals. I highly recommend it. Rock out like Keith Moon and Gene Krupa.
How we heal our inner child fears
Jeffrey Mishlove have you heard about Hew Len hooponopono Inner Child Meditation. He doesn't like to be in public but for me has very excited experience.
This dude sounds like jeff bridges from star man
What are his views on EMDR?
