‘Josh Connolly is a powerhouse of change for people who are yet to find their own way or the courage to acknowledge and seek help for their childhood trauma. Doing this work is not easy but by embracing ourselves and working through the pain the child within us experienced, we can find authenticity and become our true selves.’

‘It is very powerful when someone uses their own lived experience to support others facing the same challenges. This handbook is a must-have for anyone who has struggled with a toxic parent. It deals with issues that society is often too afraid to talk about, and in doing liberates those who have not been able to articulate or move through their own challenging experiences.
This is a brilliant book that not only brings clarity and understanding to the hugely important topic of toxic parenting, but also gives guidance on how to move through and heal from the trauma of your past in order to reclaim your present. Josh has an amazing ability to make a difficult topic totally approachable and relatable. An important book that will help so many.’Maude Hirst

What can I say about this book, I’m not into any hippie dippy stuff, but this book resonated with me in a instant: this book to me is up there with Atrerix the Gaul, as that book started me reading, and Allan Cars stop smoking, this book is a changer, I will follow Josh always now, but the real and honest thing I have to say, is thank you Josh Thank you
