In this distinctive spin on personal transformation, a noted psychologist shares her unique method that provides inner child healing to overcome early childhood trauma/wounds/neglect/abuse. The adult fears, anxiety, and unhappiness are keys to accessing and integrating long-buried Child-Hearts–a way to unlock peace, wisdom, and joy.

LISTEN TO THE CRIES OF YOUR HEART by Dr. … LISTEN TO THE CRIES OF YOUR HEART by Dr. Anne Uemura explores a unique strategy for achieving self awareness. Before the book came out, I had done Child Heart work with Anne in a group workshop and later, individually. The effects of working with Anne were extraordinary: healing wounds and resolving issues that many years of other therapies and practices were not able to touch. The excitement and gratitude I felt to Anne and her work was boundless, yet I was not able to put words to the…
The Last Personal Growth Book You’ll ever buy…worth it’s weight in gold!! Listen to the Cries of your Heart will likely be the last personal development book you’ll ever buy. I received this book as a birthday gift from a dear friend who knows me well. Only after being harassed and quizzed about how did I like the book…and the processes, did I finally pick it up and become absorbed in it.
