Start your journey toward inner child healing with mindfulness tools that will help you mend fraught relationships, process difficult emotions, and transform the hurt of childhood trauma.

"Thich Nhat Hanh's work, on and off the page, has proven to be the antidote to our modern pain and sorrows." --Ocean Vuong, author of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Based on Dharma talks by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, and insights from participants in retreats for healing the inner child, this book is an exciting contribution to the growing trend of using Buddhist practices to encourage mental health and wellness.

Reconciliation focuses on being mindful of our emotions and healing our relationships, as well as using meditation and other exercises to acknowledge and transform the hurt many of us experienced as children. Thich Nhat Hanh--considered "the father of mindfulness"--shows how anger, sadness, and fear can become joy and tranquility by learning to breathe with, explore, meditate, and speak about our strong emotions. Written for people of all backgrounds and spiritual traditions, Reconciliation offers specific practices designed to bring healing and release for anyone suffering from childhood trauma.
