Self-Parenting: The Complete Guide to Your Inner Conversations - Softcover

Sep 2018: I've spent the last six months updating this book for the millennial reader.

"Learning to love your SELF!"
What began as one man's personal quest in 1970 has now become an international phenomenon. John Pollard's unique SELF-PARENT1NG Program is supported in many cities through-out the United States and Australia, and hundreds of therapists are now practicing Self-Parenting with their patients.

"My initial comment is WOW! I found the book absolutely fascinating. Not only is it easy to read and understand, it is complete. I no longer find it necessary to judge myself in the negative ways in which I had become so expert."
--Georgia Engels, Sydney, Australia

"In my ACOA support groups we have talked about the Inner Child many times, but until I read your book I really didn't understand what to do or what was meant by the child within. Thank you very much for getting right to the nitty-gritty."
--Michael Winslow, Wilmington, IL

"I can't tell you how much your book has changed my life.I have been in therapy off and on for most of my life and nothing I've done has helped improve my outlook on life as much as reading your book and practicing the Self-Parent-ing exercises. Thank you, John, the exercises work and they do wonders for my outlook each day. I don't know why they work, but I know it's like a miracle, truly a gift from God. You may have saved a life somewhere because of this book."
--Joanna Valenti, Canyon Country, CA
