{"product_id":"9780143527749","title":"Life Lessons for the Adult Child: Transforming a Challenging Childhood","description":"If you behaved in a very responsible and reliable manner when you were a child and if, now that you are an adult, you often feel childlike and vulnerable in stressful situations, you are in all likelihood an adult child. If you have a constant need to be better - to improve yourself, to be more interesting, more attractive, nicer - you are probably an adult child. If you feel responsible for everything and everyone, you are almost certainly an adult child. Having a childhood that is unpredictable or inconsistent in any way often results in a range of characteristics and limiting beliefs which include a need to be perfect, an inability to trust others, and a horror of asking for help. It doesn't really matter what was going on in your family, or why you felt like you needed to be a grown up when you were a child.  What matters is that you did. This book will take you on a journey of self-discovery, and provide you with powerful exercises and self-coaching tools that will guide you through a process of healing.  \u003ci\u003eLife Lessons for the Adult Child\u003c\/i\u003e will bring you relief from the confusion and anxiety that may have been your constant companions, and it will guide you to a place of understanding and acceptance of yourself. Reading this book and completing the exercises will help you to change - not who you are but how you are.","brand":"Penguin International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079124369648,"sku":"9780143527749","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780143527749_p0.jpg?v=1763657734","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780143527749","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
