My Inner Child
All of us need postive affirmation through out our lives.
As children, these powerful messages helped us to know that
we were worth while, that it was all right to want food, to
be touched and that our very existence was a precious gift.
If we were raised with consistent, nurturing parents, we
conclude that life is meaningful and that people are to be
trusted. If we were raised with parents who were addicitively
or compulsively ill, we determine that life is threathing and
chaotic......that we are not deserving of joy. These are the
crucial decisions that impact our lives long after we have
forgotten them.
Unfortunately, childhood judgements didn't disappear.
They remain as dynamic forces that contminate our adulthood.
When childhood needs are not taken care of because of abuse
or abandonment issues, we spent our lives viewing the world
through rose colored glasses. We then view the world through
the distored perception of a needy infant or an angry
adolescent. The more we push these child parts away, the more
control they have over us. This denial of our inner child
manifests in destructive ways dependent relationships,
sabotaged successes, somatic, illnesses and dysfunctional
parenting.
In order to end this cycle of suffering, we must embrace our
inner child at what ever age and stage it shows itself to us.
There are many things that you can do to slowly heal that
lonely hurt confused child inside. The first step for me
was to admit it. I just wanted to cover everything up and
pretend it was all good. Well is wasn't and that lead to many
downfalls in my life that I just didn't know how to handle.
Come with me on a journey to learn the skills of reparenting
our inner child. Throughout this courageous effort we will
be able to move from a life of pain into recovery, love and
happiness.
The next pages are some of the healing stages of my Inner
Child, they may not work for everyone but they can't hurt you
either...
Please join me.
Peace, Love and Blessings
