Thank you EveHarrington. Yes! exactly. I sure have done inner child work for a whole year every week, I was seeing an inner child/parts work facilitator, she was certified in life coaching but not in psychology, she was young (30) and inexperienced and she herself had heavy childhood trauma that...

Thanks Sideways I love what you’ve written, I can actually do this. I’d love that. This is why I like spending time with my niece, we play and go out sometimes for fun activities, I also enjoy buying her games. I started doing this recently, spending time in stationery shops buying colorful...

Thanks Friday. So, what I’m doing when I go back in time/place is called “rehearsing memories”? To make sure I understand, you say the reason I like to keep on going back is: Because I’m avoiding something that’s happened at other times..? The time I go back to is my school years, my past...

I’m sorry to hear that. So you want your time machine set to the 50s and 60s your happy times.. I understand.. I wish I could provide that for you, and for me as well! Escapism is one coping mechanism.

Thank you arfie :) while I’m not glad you feel the same way, it’s comforting. Radical acceptance sounds more sensible! If I may ask you, what’s the cause behind those feelings in your case?

I wanted to edit to add but there’s no edit. to clarify more: The idea is not that I want to be young in the same way that we all want to be young forever and not become old and dependent, it’s bigger than that. If I understand myself correctly I feel that maybe my child self is dead and I’m...

I have a question that I’ve asked before in a previous post but it wasn’t my main topic I only brushed on it briefly. So I’ll bring it up to be my main topic because it’s important. I have a need to be in my childhood schools and roam around inside and remember myself as a child, to fulfill...

Thanks everyone for responding. I understand the part where you do not want to go back to a bad time in your lives. For me, I was emotionaly neglected, and other things, but I had good times where I hung out with my neighbor friend, we played outside and climbed trees and walked to get ice...

I’m in my late thirties and I so desperately want to be a kid again -.- In the sense that, I’d be loved and taken care of no matter what. I also miss my child self. Anybody else feel the same?

Thank you all very much it helped reading your different points of view, I appreciate your time in writing.

Thank you Friday. The option I chose was to withdraw and cut contact, he got upset why I’m not talking, and fought again. I’ll have to chose another mature response. But my problem is that I get triggered when I sense the slightest hostility, and I start shaking and I get angry. Yes, this...

Update: I just had another verbal fight with my brother and sister (she tried to mediate again), my brother ended up yelling at me again. And he stormed out. I still don’t know what exactly I’ve done wrong. I asked that he never yells at me again for no reason, then he said I’m no angel either...

Thank you caroline. Yes, for years I’ve been trying to fix our relationship, it’s only gotten worse. I’m letting go now.

Thank you Movingforward10 your post is very helpful. I’m feeling less triggered and calmer than yesterday, so I can absorb and understand the posts better. “The impression I get from your posts is that you want something from your family that they aren't giving you.” Correct %100 it’s time...

Yes, she’s said very hurtful things to me the past few years, I tried to express to her how her criticism pierces through me and affects my self esteem and confidence, she doesn’t like it when I bring it up, she mocks me and wonders what good does it do for me to bring this up, basically asking...

My question is, I need to know what I’ve done wrong because I feel awful and poisoned by the verbal attacks.. my sister tells me that I keep repeating myself, for example “this person told me this and did that” she says maybe I’m not aware of it and it’s very annoying.. I think I’m repeating...

Thank you Bamma :) Yes conflict doesn’t have to be my fault, but in this case it is, because I withdrew and stopped talking and they’re upset why I’m behaving like a child. Criticism does hurt, especially the none constructive one. I regret bringing in my sister and talking to her, because...

Hi all, I was a member here but I forgot my username and email, so I made a new one 😊 I’m here because I’m suffering a strain in my relationship with my siblings, I don’t know who’s at fault, so I’m hoping that you’d be the judge. 1- I can’t handle being yelled at or spoken to in a bothered...
