This Secure Love Club book club session covers Chapter 5 of Pete Walker's Complex PTSD, continuing the work of healing childhood trauma and building a more secure inner foundation. Julie Menanno discusses the tools of recovery, from shrinking the inner critic to feeling and processing long-avoided emotions, and connects them to attachment and the way we give and receive love. She helps members see how tending their own wounds steadily increases their capacity for safe, close connection with a partner. You will learn practical recovery tools and understand why inner healing and relationship healing move together. Compassionate and practical for anyone doing the deep work of complex-trauma recovery who wants to understand how it strengthens both their relationship with themselves and with the people closest to them. The full discussion is inside for members.
