This video was like ten therapy sessions at one time. Thanks 🙏

[christinam]

I appreciate these teachings. As an adult, when I get around a certain parent again, I get treated like a child, talked down to, and my inner child that was hurt over and over gets triggered and it takes me days or weeks to get over it again and feel okay and see myself right. The way this parent sees me in their mind is not who I am. So I struggle with trying to reject their filter and it damages my self image after I am around them again and yet, I dont want to cut off relationship as I love them, so I continue to struggle in this place over and over. This parent is not going to change so I my wound never heals. I am doing my best to love and also take care of my self. Some people can never treat their adult children with respect and continue to hold them to childhood. Its so frustrating.
As I have gone through this I am also worried about the ways I am injuring or traumatizing my own children as things have been hard as a single mom and I know I dont respond to everything right. Im sure theyd say Im a hot mess. I also try to do well to apologize where I am wrong, and purposely affrirm their strengths especially if I noticed I have been on the negative side more.

Thank you Doc! I'm learning and practicing all of this at the age off 29! I feel like a kid again

[dianetincher]

Thanks! I really needed to hear this message ❤️ My inner child really enjoyed this video 🧘‍♀️

@5:38 This slide made me realize something critically important about myself, and I can't stop going back and forth from weeping /for/ my inner child finally being properly acknowledged, and weeping /as/ my inner child finally feeling acknowledged. Literally hugging myself.

What are some of your favorite strategies to show compassion for your inner child and help them recognize they are safe in the present and you will be there for them/yourself

[rondacrozier]

My inner child remembers all the stress of childhood 😮. It’s true

[tearthangel]

Honesty is essential for a safe and healthy relationship

Every word that came out of you is gold you don't know how this video is going to change my life a rebirth God bless you

There is one problem with recognizing negative emotions in others. people often dont admit to being stressed, angry og sad... I found its best to regognize theese types of emotions within self and then trust your instinkts when people lie to you (this it for protection against further abuse)

[teribudic]

I think this video touched me very much. I especially felt moved to the words you use "Ok. this is how you feel.", " I got this" "Let's practice some distress togheter" because i think those are some of the expressions my inner child needed and wished to hear during my childhood. I am so happy i can use them now to my little self, to other people and to my future children to try breaking the chain of unhappy childhoods in my family. Thank you Doc Snipes.

[rondacrozier]

Your so right 🎉 about assertiveness is very hard for my inner child……

[CynthiaSchoenbauer]

I have been looking for this for a long time. Since Tom Bradshaw, I have had no one to help me with this. He told me there actually WAS an inner being inside me who did not want to serve anyone but herself, but did not actually get me past the many barriers to seeing who she was, what she wanted, and how to take care of her. It feels so much like home to have someone talking about this! Thank a bunch!

[dreams_of_gaia]

Wow! Thanks for this! I tend to be so negative towards myself and can so easily spout any s*** against my past and present self. With this and your other videos about the inner child, I found out where my abandonment issues come from, though I can't still determine when this whole thing started as I may have been too young, it's helping me heal in retrospective, starting from my 20's, teenage years, preteen, and so on. My mom was basically forced to have children against her will so she could never love me. I think sabotaging me all the time and leaving her responsabilities on me was her only way to cope with her frustrations. Maybe I can finally break my forever single and friendless cycle. Thanks again.

I like how you used Windows '95 as an example because 1. I grew up in the 90's and remember that slow old computer software 2. I conceptualize my neuronal mapping like a software which was developed solely on sensory information available to me in early childhood 3. I agree that my traumatic childhood left me with this old, slow, un-user-friendly software which only helps me shoot myself in the foot and confuse people around me

[nicole]

Such valuable information, Doc. Thank you ✨️

[rememberDay]

This is really helpful thank you. Gave up drugs and alcohol bc and chose breathing , but I still was just disassociating…got to sit with the emotions and ground. Let the stress fade and then look at the situation more logically

[eddragarcia]

I don't have words to thank you 🙏 you're helping me so much

[merldog]

Making practical tools available to everyone - what a worthwhile mission. You are certainly helping me!
