~ (Author), John Bradshaw (Foreword)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In the growing body of literature about contacting nurturing and expressing the inner child the prevailing view is of a delightful entity who is all sunshine and sweetness. In Stephen Wolinsky moves beyond that image to consider the dysfunctional shadow side of the inner child and shows how it filters present reality through frozen memories that distort and limit our perceptions. Wolinksy shows how to acknowledge the dark child so we can become psychologically whole.

From the Publisher

In Wolinsky offers us a variety of ways to become aware of how we are creating the defensive trances that constitute the frozen states of the inner child. This book fur ther attests to the seriousness of inner child work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Trances People live for non-therapists, July 10, 2000

By	Shawn Regan (marietta, GA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wolinsky states this book was written at the level of non-therapists. Much like "Trances People Live" Wolinksky describes hypnotic trances we create as children that unconsciously influence us throughout our lives. Wolinsky describes the trances of: age regression, futurizing, disconnecting, blocking out, illusioning, confusion, spiritualizing, amnesia, and trance dreaming. He gives strategies for uncovering and diffusing these trances.
