My Love Is For Always

As Integrative Body Psychotherapists, my co-author, Beth Bardovi and I have had many clients share how Dr. Jack Rosenberg’s Good Parent Messages have helped them to heal their emotional wounds from childhood. Jack’s Good Parent Messages, at once so simple, yet so profoundly healing, are part of his outstanding legacy to all of us lucky enough to be trained in Integrative Body Psychotherapy. 

This is Beth’s and my second book featuring the Good Parent Messages. Our first book is The Secret to Loving Yourself: Profound Little Messages to Change Your Life. It’s a book for any adult, young or old, to help them heal the child within.

It was our intention to write a children’s book first, but we struggled with how to format and illustrate the messages in a way that would impart the energetic feeling tones of the messages to young children as well as to the adults reading the book to the children.

Our inspiration came upon us in a flash thanks to my partner and creative muse, Carlos Platon Tornes, who suggested pandas. Pandas! Within a few days, Beth reached out to her children’s book author and illustrator friend, Barney Saltzberg, who had recently published a book about the pandas he visited during a trip to China. A few days after this first call, Barney was on board. Beth shared the messages with him and he was sending us panda images that resonated with the messages. We are forever grateful to Barney for illuminating the messages with his artwork.

Jack’s original messages were one sentence each. Beth and I used all of our years of being therapists to expand Jack’s one sentence lines into verses, so that both the child and the adult reader might embody the messages. By reading these messages to the children in their lives, our hope is the reader and the children develop more self-attunement, self-love, and inner resilience. 

Healing and repairing one’s early emotional wounds, and developing greater resilience is the essence of all good therapy, and is the basis of working with clients with attachment injuries. It is some of the most profound work our community of Integrative Body Psychotherapists does. 

As we face the existential threats of Covid and climate change, there has never been a more important time to develop inner resilience to better support yourself and your loved little ones now and through all of life’s inevitable transitions.
