📚 Taming Your Outer Child by Susan Anderson

Susan Anderson describes the Outer Child as the self-sabotaging, bungling and impulsive part of our personality. She explains that the Outer Child shows on the outside what the Inner Child feels inside.

Key Themes

• The Outer Child as the self-sabotaging, impulsive part of us
• How the Outer Child acts out what the Inner Child feels
• A three-part programme of dialoguing, guided visualisation and action steps
• Using the programme with dieting, procrastination, debt and depression

Sissoo recommends this because it gives clear, kind words for patterns of self-sabotage that many of us know. It also offers simple practices for exploring the feelings that sit underneath them.

If you would like support alongside the book, you might explore Speaking & Listening Therapies or Meditation, which includes Visualisation.
