What Does Your Inner Child Need Right Now?

[Grace11]

My inner child resents the man (ex) who left the USPS notice on her mail with a post it instructing her how to change her address. That actually says a lot about my inner and "outer" child. :) Really? I think I know how to do that, thank you very much, ***hole.

((Hugs)) to you. Maybe you can give yourself a hug for your inner child...or a teddy perhaps?

I have a uni.

Awww....cute as. Not classically huggable though, but I'm sure you could stroke it's mane or something...play with him/her(?)

My inner and outer child needs a hug and reassurance. I must walk the dogs and don't want to leave the house. I feel as if something bad will happen. :poop: a week of feeling normal - well for me and suddenly fear and anxiety strike.

KP...sending you a hug. Wish it was a real one as that is what I need too. Hang in there and lets try to get through this together.

My inner child needs

to understand that no-one is going to comfort me and to stop waiting for it to happen

At first I read this as a negative outlook based on bitterness; but, then I read it again. Now I see it differently: you are going to take it upon yourself to nurture yourself instead of waiting for relief to come from externals. That is a positive direction and attitude. So, good for you!
As you direct your own energies to self nurturing and care, others can take similar action. What you give off, you tend to get back. Like attracts like.

Well done! Refreshing!

Hi KP,
Any idea what triggered the anxiety about going out? Did stress creep in too much suddenly?

It is easy to let the anxiety get the best of us. There were times I felt panicky about going out and then somthing bad did happen. It makes me want to listen to the anxiety and not go out when I feel that way. Most days, I just need to tend to my thoughts and repressed thoughts and simply acknowledge what is bothering me (unprocessed emotions or ideas). Once I look my fears in the eye, I tend to feel more brave. Why is it so hard just to find my fear's "eye" in the first place? Well, I think that is the crux of PTSD. Fear more or less did some sort of internal mechanical damage that "fuzzed" that emotional clarity that we used to have for processing stuff. Now, it takes real effort to locate and process basically any and all emotions that don't slide out of the mind easliy.

Hang in there and don't feel guilty about the dogs. They will be okay!

Does anyone here think there is any merit in "soul retrieval?"

What is "soul retrieval"?
