PRAISE FOR TAMING YOUR OUTER CHILD

“This book will be an enormous help to anyone looking to let go of past disappointments and self-recrimination and get on with the essential work of healing, building boundaries, and acquiring the skills to reach your goals. I hope you will read it and do the exercises it provides.”

— John Bradshaw, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Homecoming

“Are you repeating unhelpful, destructive patterns of behavior? Anderson (The Journey from Abandonment to Healing). . .attributes this sabotaging behavior to your ‘Outer Child,’ a part of personality that takes over when your ‘Adult’ function is weak. . . .Anderson does not discount the role of past trauma but shows that self-defeating behavior can be changed without in-depth examination and resolution. VERDICT A helpful scenario, requiring determination and commitment, for dealing with difficult issues. This will appeal to readers seeking change.”

“With more than 30 years experience working with victims of trauma, abandonment, grief, and loss, psychotherapist Anderson (Black Swan: The Twelve Lessons of Abandonment Recovery) . . . explains how to redirect ‘fear and insecurity seeping out of your oldest wounds.’ ‘Abandoholism,’ she notes, ‘wins the hit parade on my website.’ With a program designed to undo primal fears, she tackles such topics as lowered self-esteem, lovesick feelings, food urges, diet, chronic depression, procrastination, heartache, and a primary source of conflict with relationships, ‘enormous emotional suction cups.’ She also examines brain activity and factors preventing the body’s production of such ‘yummy neurochemicals’ as oxytocin and vasopressin. . . . Readers under stress who are desperate for help will view this book as a valuable tool for healing.”

“The outer child is a bratty, angry drama queen who is responsible for unhealthful and unwanted behavior, according to the book. Anderson’s three-prong outer child recovery program consists of dialoguing, guided visualization and action steps. The second half of the book addresses special applications for the program, such as dieting, procrastination, debt and depression.”
