You have probably read so many more good books than I have directly read as intended. Have you ever read a bookto an older man as an kindness making sure he didn’t discinnect from “your” reality?” You want to train me, mmb?
Better than be your own parent, is become your own partner and love yourself first than anybody else. Treat yourself with kindness and love, the idea of become my own parent is not good because parents are here to teach us about limits and boundries when we don´t have them.
I agree with you.
I agree with you /\
why do you, guys below, judge the book by the cover instead of actually reaading it? the idea of the inner parent is more about dealing with the internalised critical ‘parent’- inner voice, and transvorming it into a more supportive and caring one. you may also see it as the first step to becoming your own ‘parter’, as you put it, Deobrah. i suppose this idea may be hard to understand for people who do not come from such highy indvidualistic and competetive culture as the western / anglo-saxon one, even if the rest of the world is catching up with that. thank u Alanis for sharing and spreading good ideas!
meant ‘transforming” and ‘partner’ above.
it would be great to be able to edit the posts after they are sent.
I’ll check this out. I have to admit I’m a sucker for anything that you read & recommend. And most of the time, they contribute and do something (good) for me. So thank you very much for sharing! xo
Fuck you dreamfeast. You know about the book but don´t know about my background. You can judge this fucking book but you cannot judge me or my opinion. Alanis is not God and not always what she says is right. It´s just her opinion and it´s not because I like the way she writes songs I need to agree 100% with her. I´ve read the book, YES, at University and worked hard on things that you, blind by her opinions and crazy to follow her is saying things that really doesn´t matter to me., so fuck you and your opinion.
Wow, imagine my joy when I see my book posted on Alanis Morrisette’s own blog, is this right! Cool.
FYI, I do want to mention, that this is what we call the “blue book” which is NOT the first book to read about Self-Parenting. The one I recommend first we call the “yellow book.” Here is a link if it works:

The yellow book explains the original premise and also gives a 2 week series of sessions to practice. More specifics at http://www.selfparenting.com if so inclined.
The blue book is for advanced practitioners. It can be read, but not really understood until you have six or more months of practice “in the chair” as we say.
It’s my birthday today, so this is a wonderful gift for me personally speaking (and my Inner Child). And just for the record, this is my 25th year of continuous daily practice of the Self-Parenting Program, so you might say I’m a believer.
Many thanks if this was recommended by Alanis.
The F word used in anger on the AM website; sigh. I had hoped for… well, forget it. “Prisoners of Hate” (another great book) and all that.
. . .
“If you want to be like her, you’ll have to do what she did,” I wrote in my first entry on the old AMML back in 1996. So…
. . .
This particular book was one of several that informed the 12 Step Adult Children of Alcoholics fellowship before they produced their own “big red book” in 2006. It reminded me a lot of Charles Whitfield’s work, which I believe AM has also endorsed.
. . .
But if you =really= wanna get where she’s at, you’ll have to dig into Tibetan Buddhism, etc., and do the meditative do. It becomes pretty second nature (as “mindfulness”) after a while, and one sort of goes there automatically.

I thought of you looking into my eyes and getting so close to have our lips on our faces touch each other and feel the contact of your slippery tounge within my mouth all aroumd and loving touch anywhere on/in our body of mine.
And I am appoligetic if that is,not a where you place me in a what we, you, Alanis, and me, Martin Manuel Baker would do for each other celebrating life and affection in a holy kiss.
I hope norhing I could willungly do would jeapordize our potential for sacred intimate affection and love making, and hope my being in survival mode doesn’t bring you or others to suspect male prosteturion on my part. My needs are real, but I’ve not suggested to exchange sex acts for compensation. I haven’t inrended to anyway, but think much of my mail is not clear yet.
I caught that thought of us coming together in tounge kiss dormant within me, mmb, an siin after fundinf it am wondering if it is not one of your marketing toys fir sex, drugs, and rick and roll.
I want to write an unrelated to a holy kiss message as though from an ever I. As though as I was forty-three years from now as a me or us trying ti help from a mommy that might have thought I wandered away or would. I could write as though equal in significance to your ever and avail myself to some closest needed familial love and care. I an afraid of the hassel of not having teeth real soon, and not having any close bonds bonds with anyone else and needing money for dentures just so I can chew with a less loosided miurh or face.
I also hate your normal intriigue fairy-tale rules from, especially if I may not make love to you as a member of your religious body or union and just want every fulfilling asoect of every relationshio we could potentially have and be for each other and whom we may best benefit.
Lacking your kiss within the temporral,
Martin Manuel Baker, 02-06-1967 to 12-21-2012 (happy new 12-cycle zodiac brougj ti you via the Caucasin-Mayan and Irish-German son of ‘el gringo del norte, Robert Bruce Baker (from the becker Branch, but I haven’t bought CBS’s research on it, and many of their more spiritual teens research usual tender not caring for a loss if consumate flutation at my lap puppet show from twin size bed as also business exclusive dependants far enough removed it wadn’t their daddy’s budineds before pleasure.)
Alanis you dont need fancy books to be a good parent. Just teach your children all the values you think make you a better person and you wont go far wrong.
And make sure you teach them good manners as there are too many people out there with no manners. I call them the ‘Underclass’
