"The Inner Child is that part of our psyche that is eternally full of life and strength, creative impulses and pleasure. This is our Real I - who we really are …"
And it would be so great, but!
We all live in the post-Soviet space, where this inner part of the child was either traumatized, or suppressed, or ignored.
Therefore, it is so important for each of us at least sometimes to "take parental leave to care for the inner child."
With the safe passage of childhood and the fulfillment of basic needs, in adulthood, thanks to the inner child, we can have creativity, playfulness, the ability to enjoy life, approach situations outside the box, the ability to give ourselves rest, creative expression, and so on.
As a result of unmet needs or traumatic events, we have: a ban on games (parents who do not like to play with children, hello!), A ban on relaxation, workaholism in a pathological form, inability to enjoy life, enjoy, a sense of guilt for "insufficient goodness", or vice versa, vital disorganization and infantilism.
In other words, in practice, the inner child is a model of behavior borrowed by us from childhood. This part contains a "record" of early experiences, reactions, attitudes towards oneself and others and reproduces them in adulthood.
If at this moment you realize that there are problems with the inner child, this is not at all a reason to blame parents and significant adults. This is a reason to think about how I, an adult, can help myself (and my inner) child now. Fortunately, this is possible and in therapy you can rehabilitate the condition, love the inner child and fill his needs.
Right now, you can get in touch with your inner child by continuing the following phrases:
- as a child, I dreamed of becoming …
- as a child, I needed more …
-for many years I have missed …
- as a child, I missed the opportunity …
-As a child, I loved most of all to play in …
- as a child, an interest arose in me in …
And remember, the happiness of your children, both real and internal, is in your hands!
