The Child I Never Got to Be by Dax Rowan

The Child I Never Got to Be

A quiet guide for those who had to grow up too soon.

This is a calm, deeply reflective book for anyone who grew up feeling unsafe, unheard, or forced to become “the strong one” too early.

If your childhood was filled with tension, silence, or emotional neglect, you may still be carrying those experiences today - as anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or the constant feeling that something is wrong with you.

This book helps you understand that nothing was wrong with you.

You were surviving.

Through gentle insight, personal experience, and simple psychological understanding, you’ll learn how your past shaped you - and how to slowly rebuild trust, safety, and self-worth in the present.

Inside the book you’ll learn how to:

• Understand your childhood without blame or shame
• Recognize survival patterns like anxiety and emotional numbness
• Reconnect with your inner child
• Set boundaries without guilt
• Build self-trust and emotional safety
