Books to Heal Your Inner Child

Embrace your inner child. Make time to rediscover that sense of wonder and awe, or simply offer yourself a warm hug and

reassurance. Psychologists believe our inner child significantly shapes our adult lives, yet it's easy to lose touch with it as we navigate life's complexities. To celebrate the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, we've curated a list of comforting reads. From self-help books to fiction and memoirs, here are our recommendations to help heal your inner child.

Things You Wanted To Say But Never Did

Filled with deep, short prompts and captivating visual artistry, Things You Wanted To Say But Never Did is more than just a crafted journal. It is a tool that might unlock your buried childhood memories and help you heal on a deeper level so you can healthily move forward in life. If you are looking for a mindful journaling companion, this is something you should add to your shelf.

I'm Glad My Mom Died

One of the hardest truths in this world is that not everyone is guaranteed a happy relationship with their parents. It can be complicated and messy for some, but luckily, former child star Jeanne McCurdy shares in I'm Glad My Mom Died all of her personal struggles, including her estranged relationship with her mother and how she finally retook control of her life. The perfect read to help

you find courage and kindness to get back up again.

The Art of You

Our imagination as children is what fuels our desire to learn. But, at some point in our lives, we feel out of touch, and the creative spirit that once rushed through us is now replaced with a practical and logical mindset. Written by conscious creativity leader James McCrae, The Art of You gently nudges you to reaccept yourself as a creative in the true sense and is designed to help you find purpose, sense, and flow.

Wabi Sabi

For those readers who were raised to believe they always have to be at their best, take this as your sign to unlearn perfectionism and pick up Wabi

Sabi, a read that offers a unique view of how you can find peace in this busy life without having to be perfect at all times. Allow yourself to see the beauty in the imperfect, unfinished, and impermanent, and we're sure you will find reasons to love life again.

Barbie: The Screenplay

As young children, we adored Barbie dolls for their beauty, but over time, we came to realize that they are more than just mere dolls. Fast forward to 2023, Greta Gerwig brilliantly reimagined Barbie, and turned the narrative on its head and was loved by millions. If you're seeking for something that will truly reconnect with your inner child (or at least the part of you who idolized and aspired to be like Barbie), Barbie: The Screenplay might be a happy addition to your collection.

It Didn't Start With You

In Philippine households, it's common to speculate about which side of the family a child resembles, but the truth is, we inherit more than just physical traits. We also inherit family traumas. It Didn't Start With You is a groundbreaking read that delves into the understanding of traumatic legacies passed down through generations and their ongoing impact on both physical and emotional health. This book not only offers clarity but also provides ways to break the cycle.
