About this audiobook

Chances are, you've already had run-ins with your Outer Child-the self-sabotaging, bungling, and impulsive part of your personality. This misguided, hidden nemesis blows your diet, overspends, and ruins your love life. Your Outer Child acts out and fulfills your legitimate childlike needs and wants in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and in counterproductive ways: It goes for immediate gratification and the quick fix in spite of your best-laid plans.

Now, in a revolutionary rethinking of the link between emotion and behavior, veteran psychotherapist Susan Anderson offers a three-step program to tame your Outer Child's destructive behavior. This dynamic, transformational set of strategies-action steps that act like physical therapy for the brain-calms your Inner Child, strengthens your Adult Self, releases you from the self-blame and shame at the root of Outer Child issues, and paves new neural pathways that can lead to more productive behavior. The result is happiness, fulfillment, self-mastery, and self-love.

    The information is useful, and I’ll be doing my best to incorporate the tools. That said, I found this book physically painful to sit through because the tone felt so condescending! The degree of fat-shaming raised my hackles in a big way: for a book that promises to help people engage healthier patterns, the author’s language choices are so contemptuous of people of size and so busy equating beauty to the size of one’s waistline that I almost didn’t make it as far as the useful tools.

    I didn't finish it because the tone was so judgmental and fat phobic.
