Every person has a little boy or little girl inside of them who feels, thinks, acts, speaks and responds exactly as he or she did as a child of a certain age. This state of the Self is called the Self-Child or our Inner Child. The inner child is our feelings, desires and intuition. Our Inner Child knows where it is better to go to work and where to leave. Knows where to go on vacation to get the most out of it. He will tell you with whom it makes sense to continue the relationship, and with whom it is time to end it. He makes it clear what we should do in life and how to live. The Inner Child is me. This is me in childhood and now. These are my experiences and feelings. Each inner child has its own age, most often this is the age when the injury occurred, when it began to experience pain. What does a child need? He needs complete acceptance of him as a person, understanding and satisfaction of his true needs, approval of him in all his manifestations. If parents provide these conditions, the child grows up safely and becomes a happy and successful person, realizing his creative potential. Most parents, due to their own traumatic experience, do not respect their children: they offend, beat, threaten, do not believe, coerce, humiliate, invade their personal space, and do not allow them to express their true feelings. “Your hands are growing from the wrong place!” “Who needs you!” “I sacrificed everything for you/I do so much for you, and you...!” “It would be better if I didn’t give birth to you.” “I gave birth myself, I’ll kill you myself.” “All children are like children, and you...” “Sasha is smart, and why are you like that...?” A negative self-image is formed in the subconscious of such a child. And then many deny themselves in childhood. This is how self-rejection and self-dislike arise. We lose contact with our real selves—the inner child—and we stop hearing ourselves. “Wounded” children grow up and begin independent adult lives. But they only seem to be adults. But in fact, they suffer from countless wounds that are easy to touch and unravel already in adulthood. Sign up for a consultationPhone, WhatsApp, Telegram + 7 921 807 82 09 Tsoraeva Oksana Sergeevna
