From Disconnected to Reunited: A Compassionate Path to Inner Child Healing: A Meaningful, Step-by-Step Guide to Heal Childhood Wounds, Reclaim Self-Worth, and Create Lasting Change with CFT

Praise for From Disconnected to Reunited

Leading psychologist and founder of Compassion-Focused Therapy, Professor Paul Gilbert, shares his thoughts on this book:

“There is now considerable evidence that the quality of relationships we have with our primary caregivers early in life can have a significant and long-term impact on our brains, bodies, and minds. Bringing compassionate courage and wisdom to how our minds have been shaped for better or for worse is the beginning of a journey into how to heal whatever wounds we carry.

Dr. Célia Rousset takes us on this journey of understanding and how by creating and practicing compassionate brain states we can produce radical change over time in our minds, bodies, and social relationships. Written with compassion, empathy, and great insight and depth of knowledge into the current scientific research into the process of compassion healing, this is an ideal guidebook for those caught in the narratives of childhood, and how to go into states of mind and sense of self that we ‘in the now,’ not our past, determine.”

— Professor Paul Gilbert, Founder of Compassion-Focused Therapy

Are you looking for real, lasting change in your daily life?

Maybe you’ve tried journaling, meditations, and self-help books—but real transformation still feels out of reach.

I get it. I was there too.

For years, I explored inner child healing. I gained insight—but I struggled to turn it into lasting change. That’s when I discovered Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)—a research-backed approach that doesn’t just explain why we struggle, but gives us practical, compassionate tools to break free. CFT changed everything. It helped me move beyond self-awareness to real transformation.

As a researcher in compassion and a coach, I’ve seen firsthand how CFT transforms lives. This book isn’t just theory—it’s a step-by-step roadmap with over 60 powerful exercises to help you heal your inner child, rewire emotional patterns, and create lasting change.

In this book, you’ll learn how to:

• Heal self-doubt, shame, and emotional wounds with kindness, not self-judgment
• Transform your inner critic into a supportive inner voice
• Break free from limiting beliefs and toxic emotional cycles
• Regulate overwhelming emotions using science-backed techniques
• Reparent your inner child and finally feel safe, seen, and enough
• Build deep self-trust, confidence, and emotional freedom

If you’ve ever thought…

• "I’ve tried inner child work before, but I still feel stuck." → This book goes beyond insight—it guides you through real transformation.
• "I don’t have time for deep emotional work." → Healing doesn’t have to take hours. Small, simple practices fit into daily life.
• "What if this brings up too much pain?" → You'll learn to heal gently and at your own pace.
• "Can I do this alone?" → You’re not alone. This book walks you through the journey step by step.

No matter where you are—new to inner child work or a seasoned explorer—this book is for you if you want real, lasting change.

You don’t have to stay stuck. You can heal. You can thrive. And you don’t have to do it alone.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start healing, this book will show you how.
