I now understand how as an adult I can look back on my childhood and say it wasn’t that bad but if I look through the eyes of me as a child I do remember my dad, even though he was always physically present he was emotionally distant and detached. I wanted to seek his approval and validation. I can see how those early interactions have shaped my need for male attention and the feelings that arise when I either get that attention or I don’t. Thank you! 🙏🏻

1. Acknowledge that you have a inner child
2. Use triggers as a guide
3. Ask inner child what it needs to be considered

[calliek.]

Yes! I didn't know I suffered abuse. I thought my childhood was normal, but after doing tons of research about dysfunctional families. My family fit the criteria 110%. The reason my siblings and I have NEVER had a successful romantic relationship. It sucks, but at least I know the answer to heal- work on my inner child wound.

lots arises in me
as I watch this video.
mainly this:
I'm falling,
again, for another
unavailable person...
because the illusion and fantasy and escape
of this person, is all I've got...
so I let myself fall.
let myself get attached.
because I'm old now,
and the deepest shame and agony
of my life, is that I've never-ever been
in an intimate-romantic relationship...
and the reality of this anguishes me, consumes me.
fills me with: grief, shame, rage, longing, loneliness, despair,
wanting, needing, desperation...
so I cling, achingly, to anyone
that shows me: any attention...

It was a terrible childhood, so lonely, so powerless, so scared, so full of dread.
I never got to enjoy carefree play now 57 that dark cloud with lightning in it that seemed to strike without warning.
Thank you for helping people love the child, give him/her love, and hugs and acceptance along with making sure it has value since understanding what was happening didn't come until away from those people who didn't want him/her.

I would get so angry at my parents when they shout at me or complain about small things and I really hate being told what to do or if people look down on me. I hate it when other people don’t listen to me and take my orders I just hate it if I have to respect some one and just to listen to them saying something that would be a benefit to my self. I don’t know but I feel horrible right now after expressing my self I just feel so different

[reemm.a]

I literally feel suffocated when I deal with my boss at work or anyone who holds authority! And that has nothing to do with them; it is about what they represent! I am struggling all the time because I cannot be normal around them.
I become defensive, argumentative, harsh and sometimes disrespectful. Although that l inside feel terrified and off guard. Keep in mind they are nice bosses and they respect me but I cannot cope with them having authority. So I believe I have issues with people who have authority over me.

I think I am a maladaptive daydreamer due to my childhood traumas

[alexandergonzales]

My inner child never had a voice because no one liked him. He was always the weird one out whom no one ever wanted to listen to and even ridiculed. I was a bullied kid because of that. Eventually I had to create an inner demon to protect the inner child. They're best friends right now

[laurabartlett]

I was feeling so angry today when I was benched at my softball game. It brought me back to times in childhood where I felt not good enough. I went for a walk and felt a lot better afterwards. Releasing that energy was powerful. Thank you for talking about this so clearly. I am excited to continue doing this work!

I am a newlywed (6 months) and my marriage and relationship is heavily challenging the safe space my inner child has created for so long. This example of the dishes is one that I am currently dealing with. Housework in general is a trigger for me, for various reasons that I am able to identify. But as you shared, I can change my response and check my ego and make the activity more pleasurable instead of more burdensome. Your content is literally saving my life and giving me the tools I've known about but never knew how to utilize.

[jordantomten]

Wow, I’m so glad I chose to hop over from Instagram to your YouTube channel. You have some really powerful insights.

[terryford]

Thank you. I asked my innerchild what it needs to be considered and I haven't gotten response but I told him no rush. Take his time and I'm always right here when he's ready.

I welcome the loneliness, I don't have to entertain other people's insecurities. It feels good to feel the silence inside. It helps me to recognize who feels like an empty hole, of other people's codependencies and unhealed traumas. Being able to sit with my own, underlying feelings for why reacted to certain and recognizing what triggered me and then re-training my triggers. Solitude, is beautiful when you need an inner child breaks. I needed to heal a lot, inside myself that needed my consistent attention. Shadow work, is inner child healing. An inside job.

I had a pretty chaotic childhood, not gonna go into details. But I ended up joining the military, and became a workaholic, and my inner child was free to act out because in the military were all kind of mean to eachother but friends at the end of the day, so it kind of worked out. I became actually happy, and felt accepted. But it was a bandaid. What I thought was happiness was actually a distraction from my inner child pain. And i remember that pain always being there, just not on the surface. And now that I'm out of the military, i moved back home, worked a very slow paced job, and i slowly felt my happiness slip away, it was like a switch, and i felt it happen, a dark wave of negativity crashed onto me, and i tried to stop it but i wasn't strong enough. And i became exactly who I was before the military. All that pain popped up all at once. And caused me to be stagnant in life.
So now I'm living home i quit my job and stuck in a rut and I think I need to work with my inner child to move on. I want to move out so bad and i can but for whatever reason I'm not letting myself. Ive been here for 3 years, definitely wasn't the plan but once that wave crashed on me I became stuck. Im just in such anxiety everyday, i ruminate constantly, I feel like I've lost my mind. Why did this have to happen to me? Fukin bullshit

I finally realized that I have an inner child at 63 years of age. I see the trauma that occurred to me at 6 years old and how that trauma shapes me the way I am in every aspect of my life.

[melissadecker]

Going off of your dishes example, how do you know when to take on responsibility to meet your inner needs and when to tell your partner they need to clean up after themselves? I feel it wouldn’t be fair to myself to always take on someone elses responsibilities just to “meet my own needs”. Idk if that makes sense. But if you’re constantly taking on responsibilities that may not be yours just to comfort yourself, I feel like the partner would just become accustomed to not doing them because they know you’ll “pick up the slack” to meet your inner needs.

I have been identifying my patterns of late. I am a people pleaser and people chaser and usually feel like I am in one-sided relationships/friendships. No wonder I always feel like folks aren't "considering" me the way I consider them because after all, I am the one who can't say no or lack healthy boundaries. And maybe I do this because my biggest trigger might be fear of abandonment or being ignored.

[PraxisOfHealthBillFaulkner]

Thank you for sharing this! I'm 57 years old and I recently began connecting with my inner child for healing. For years I dealt with the trigger of fear in the area of money. Whenever my finances were low or when I perceived that I couldn't pay an unexpected bill, I would instantly feel an overwhelming emotion of dread in the pit of my stomach and a tightness in my chest. I now realize that these were triggers used by my inner child to help bring healing to myself in this area.

I had listened to this binaural beats last night and it took me back to a time where I had fun as a kid and acted like a silly anima, but I also realized where my trauma started and what caused it. My mom kept me away from so many people, made me feel ashamed and fearful, my brothers.. well, they also traumatized me with the rude things theysaid to me which brought my self confidence down, my physical sexual trauma which started when I was 5 and continued until I was 14, but I continue to degrade my body to other men. My final thing was feeling alone and ashamed for not pleasing others. I hope this video helps me.
