<div>Susan Anderson identified the Outer Child in her trailblazing <I>The Journey from Abandonment to Healing</I>. Because her readers and counseling clients so resonated with this breakthrough concept, Anderson developed these tools, practices that allow readers to move beyond awareness of their issues (where many get stuck) and into change. Like physical therapy for the brain, her techniques comfort the scared Inner Child, calm the impulsive Outer child, and cultivate a wise Adult. As these behaviors are repeated, new neural pathways are established. The integrated Adult, Inner Child, and Outer Child can now work <I>together</I> to realize goals. Specifically addressing issues such as procrastination, depression, and anxiety, Anderson helps readers pause their patterns long enough to blaze healthier, happier trails.</div>
