Learn to understand and work with your childhood wounds

Do you feel like old wounds or trauma from your childhood keep showing up today? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed with what to do about it and where to start? If so, this book will help you travel down a path of healing and have a new experience of yourself.

Today, with all the stressors of life closing in, overreacting to the smallest things is a signal that perhaps some of what you are experiencing is from your past. If you feel “hysterical,” it might be historical.

So, it is time to learn more about the core areas we struggle with and how they damaged our childhood. What do they look like when they show up today, and how can you start understanding and working with them so you can start creating a daily practice to heal those wounds. Whether it is from abuse or neglect, they have all left their mark on you, and it is time to change.

This book breaks down the core areas of damage, teaches in-depth what is functional, and explains how to heal it today. It also delves into how to create a more functional or wiser self that can re-parent those wounded parts.

You will learn and adopt the following five core practices for healthy living:

• Healthy Self-Esteem and how to live in it
• Healthy Boundaries to protect and connect in relationships
• Understanding your sense of self and your reality
• Learn to create excellent self-care
• To be moderate rather than live in extremes

Also, you will:

• Cultivate a framework for your functional self
• Gain clarity about your family of origin history
• Re-parent your historically hurt places and parts of self
• Learn to speak your truth and how to have your own back
• To gather and use resources to help you heal from childhood trauma

Gifts from a Challenging Childhood: Creating a Practice for Becoming Your Healthiest Self is a must-listen. It provides specific examples and downloadable healing exercises. This life-changing book is easy to listen to, has easy-to-understand charts, and has easy-to-follow teaching.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A Sky Never Forgotten is a gripping read in and of itself, but it is also a welcome reminder of the sacrifices bomber crews made, which led to victory in World War II. One B-24 pilot, Lieutenant Bob Purdy, is someone you would like to meet— and you do in these pages written by Maida Purdy, his daughter. He endured the risks of combat and the torment of a German POW camp to help earn that triumph over evil. Read A Sky Never Forgotten as the story of a brave man, but also as a tribute to those who flew and fought for America.” - Tom Clavin, author of Running Deep

“Brilliant! Lieutenant Robert Purdy’s journey — from B-24 pilot to German POW — comes to life with powerful authenticity. This is a moving tribute to the courage and sacrifice of the Greatest Generation and all who fought for freedom. Jimmy Blackmon, bestselling author of Pale Horse, Cowboys Over Iraq, and other works A meticulous, affectionate, and captivating tribute to a beloved member of the greatest generation. A Sky Never Forgotten is all at once a fascinating history of one man’s life before, during, and even after the war, told through the lens of his own words and letters. It’s a valuable compendium to the library of history of a diminishing number of everyday heroes, taken for granted for too long.” - Eoin Dempsey, bestselling author of White Rose, Black Forest, and the Maureen Ritter series

“There is something similar in many of the memoirs of the young men who served our country in World War II. Most of these men came from what might be called humble beginnings, and many shared this sense that they were unexceptional. How wrong they were. Robert Purdy’s wartime memoir, “as told to” his daughter, Maida, shares his own journey from Detroit to the outskirts of Berlin. The details of his experiences flying combat missions to being shot down over Italy, and becoming a POW in a German Stalag will stand out for readers as an example of why Purdy was truly part of 'The Greatest Generation.' This book includes well-researched supplemental materials such as maps, photographs, sketches, and even letters home. Readers, be sure to add this high-flying memoir to your collection of World War II literature.” - David Healey, author of The Caje Cole World War II series
