Your Inner Child

[Snowflake]

I think mine would want me to know she is scared. She is alone, she wants someone to help her, hold her, believe in her. She would tell me she hurts and that she doesn't understand what is happening or why.

My "inner child" holds all of my emotions that I cant feel yet or just starting to feel so "she" wants me to feel those emotions.

The better question for me is what do I want "her" to know as Im just learning to talk to "her", trying to love "her" but as the last line in poem says "but dont you see, loving you means I must love me". Very powerful words.

"She" also wants to know its not "her" fault.

"She" isnt an alter, "she's" haulted emotions per my therapist but its so weird how clearly I can feel "her", like two parts of a whole.

My inner child is starting to believe what happened to her wasn't her fault. Like my T said, a 3-4 year old is only a baby and not responsible for adult behaviors. My inner child wants me to know she wants to kick some butt as she is angry now instead of only afraid.

I think mine would want me to know that I have made a complete mess out of a lot of things.... She could have done better had I listened more. I didn't value her and I still don't.... She is pissed and wants me to get my shit together and acknowledge her pain.

Same here-

I believe my inner child would thank me for listening and comforting him, for not blaming him and for my persistence and strength..this I think would go both ways and I could thank my inner child for these very same things.

She wouldn't know how to express it, she'd just cry and hide.

I think she would say that shes tired and aching and its all over and why do people have to leave and go and its all the same. She would also says that she would want to shake things up a bit and that it hurts when I am so controlling and wont give her an inch. Its going to take time.

My inner child would say
Please love me
You are strong enough now to both protect me and keep me safe
keep telling me that you love me.
I need your protection and your solid strength as I can feel very broken.
hold me
take your hand to our heart and reassure me that you know how hard it is for me
and that you will keep fighting for me and caring me about me no matter what.
remind me that I am a good part of you even though I am so broken and fragile and volatile.
Please don't hate me - that only makes things worse
cuddle me
let me play
let me laugh and sing
give me lots of nice times
adore me
cherish me
delight in me
be glad I am here because it means we weren't annihilated.
skip with me and enjoy each day with me
do not shame me
allow me to be seen by those who are safe enough to see me.

Maybe my inner child would tell me to keep her safe, because I can.
Ask me to hold her and say it is totally understandable, that she is so confused.
She would also tell me she always had hope - like I do now. That`s why I am fighting - and always have.
She would tell me that her father loved her, at least. And her grandmother also. She would tell me to honour those who gave me love, when my mother could not.
