Childhood Trauma Recovery

Chappale Burton, author and survivor of deep childhood trauma, shares his mental struggles and the tools and techniques he used to heal after being abducted, raped at gunpoint and then witnessing the tragic murder of his mother and stepfather at age 8. Unlike other books written by clinicians and therapist, this book offers firsthand strategies and a glimpse into the mind of someone who has experienced several horrific events and emerged stronger.

Childhood trauma, mental illness, addiction, and incarceration are far too common in the US today. Recovery from even one of these issues is challenging, yet many people live with the stark reality of more than one of these circumstances every day. Our systems of care offer some help, but sometimes even the best programs don't yield lasting results. What does a person do when medication, therapy, drug treatment, and support groups are ultimately ineffective for them?

Inner child healing is a crucial part of recovering from childhood trauma. I commend you on taking this step toward working on comforting and healing the wounded inner child within you. In Powerful Journaling for Inner Child Healing Part II, soft, calming narration guides you through a second set of powerful, in-depth prompts that are meant to help you remember, feel, and work through the tough parts of your past.
