‘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.

‘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.’
