Inflictions suffered by a child have an enormous impact on the

adult they become.

 

An Inner Child resides in every adult.  Our Inner Child is our emotional memories

of past experiences, from our earliest memory and throughout our childhood.

 

Throughout our childhood, at each stage of our personal growth and development we are faced with all kinds of situations. The traumas that some of these situations inflict on us can cause recurring actions and reactions that keep us from resolving any emotional issues associated with the situation. We therefore carry the issues with us, in our subconscious, throughout our adult life. These unresolved issues are then reflected subconsciously in our actions, reactions and interactions with others and are expressed subconsciously in various other situations we, as an adult find ourselves in. Strong and/or recurring reactions to certain or specific situations are triggered by our subconscious memory of an experience or experiences in childhood and the pain of the past surfaces.

 

Some people may feel that obtaining fulfilment in life is barriered because

often times achievements they made as a child were ‘made wrong’.

 

For example; a child may have got an 'A' for an essay they completed in school and proudly showed it to their parent, but all the parent said was ‘What terrible hand writing you’ve got’. Therefore, the accomplishment that the child was so proud of was 'made wrong'.

 

Anything that brings down something we feel proud of or feel we have done well,

in turn brings us down and we carry that feeling with us in our subconscious.

It therefore has a detrimental effect on allowing us to fully become who we

truly are so can result in the harbouring of feelings of not being worthy

or not being good enough.

Negative experiences as a child can manifest in many ways in an adult

Can stem from:

         

These inflictions result in feelings of abandonment and neglect, which then

develops into feelings of loneliness and unworthiness, lack of self-belief and

an underlying insecurity of being abandoned again as an adult.  On the flip side,

the adult may not know how to accept love or affection or how to love and show affection back.  Some may find it hard to integrate with others because of a low self-esteem.  Coming across overly needy and insecure often times results in dysfunctional relationships or 'looking for love in all, the wrong places'.

Expressions of love and emotion may seem alien, so too can emotional

conversations involving the feelings and emotions of others.

Can stem from:

These inflictions can result in the adult that the child becomes being introverted,

to one degree or another and some may isolate or disassociate themselves from, situations, people and places. They may self-harm or turn to drink or drugs to

help 'numb the pain'. Intimacy can be frightening and being able to trust

can be unlikely.

 

The core of all these issues is past events.

 

We are an accumulation of everything that has

or indeed hasn't happened to us in our life. 

 

It makes us who we are....

 

....But we don't have to let it continue to affect who we become.
