The Creative Corner with Virginia Heywood

On this episode of the Creative Corner, we talk with Virginia Heywood about her debut book 'Childfulness: Returning to self with love, compassion and curiosity'. It took eight weeks to write but forty years to tell. A story of tumbling and turning yourself inside out to get answers buried deep within. Of growing up in a large, lively, and loving family with the dark companion of sexual abuse. This journey pulls apart the deep and complex puzzle of sexual abuse and the ripples of pain that then occurs. However, it also presents a beautiful example of how intoxicating and emancipating it can be when we give ourselves permission, time to grieve, and absorb and love who we have become. How a four-year-old girl manages to adapt her mind and imagination to ensure mental and emotional survival and then, when ready, as a forty-eight-year-old woman, is reunited with her child self in poignant and beautiful spellbinding moments. Childfulness demonstrates how challenging the subject of sexual abuse is in families and society. How knowing what to do is almost impossible for everyone concerned. #becreative #beinspired #bepublished #inspirational

This book explains how a child grew up with an aggressive womanising father that constantly reminded his child that he was a mistake that ruined his father's life. https://www.josephfagarazziauthor.com/ ​The father had physically beaten and mentally abused his child who was so desperately craving the love and affection from his parents. Instead, he received nothing but humiliation and sufferance by his father, which eventually caused a detrimental effect on the child as he grew up believing as he was told: that he would not achieve anything in life. https://www.josephfagarazziauthor.com/ ​The child in question was me and this is my story! ​ https://www.josephfagarazziauthor.com/ The story is not just about me... it has been written to also help others that are having or have experienced injustice by their parents, and by giving suggestions on how to survive their ordeal and move on with their lives. https://www.josephfagarazziauthor.com/ ​My name is Joseph Fagarazzi and my life story begins prior to me being born.
