Also, DON"T PAY MORE THAN $19.95 WHICH IS THE PRICE, not the other listings.As of Sep 2018, a new release of SELF-PARENTING: The Complete Guide to Your Inner Conversations has been completely updated and modernized featuring a completely new Part III. The older version is now severely outdated.
This is the original how-to book defining the concept of "Self-Parenting." It created the "inner child" movement as many therapists and authors adopted it's principles.

1. Part I describes the Inner Parent and Inner Child and gives many examples of how they interact within your "Inner Conversations."
2. Part II describes "inner conflicts" how they occur and what to do about removing them.
3. Part III has been updated for the millennial reader and gives all the steps for advancing to the Intermediate Level of Self-Parenting.

• Many of us grew up within a parental environment that did not support our childhood needs for love, support, and nurturing. As adults, we mentally continue the same patterns as the "Inner Parent" that left us feeling alone and abandoned as a child.
• Beginning the daily practice of positive Self-Parenting teaches you to recognize and reverse the negative outer parenting patterns you were taught as a child (and subsequently internalized as an adult).
• The foundation of the SELF-PARENTING Program is the daily practice of the Self-Parenting Exercises, a thirty-minute session of cognitive interaction between the Inner Parent and Inner Child.
• As illustrated in the book, during these daily half-hour sessions the reader learns how to love, support, and nurture his or her Inner Child as well as increase their awareness of the profound implications of their Inner Conversations in the "real world."
• You can "become your own loving parent" as many practitioners have done.
