When I was 13 I met a man who told me he would take care of me and that he had drugs that would make me feel better, I was so desperate for someone to take care of me and so miserable I would have done anything to feel better. I did drugs until I was 20 and got clean all on my own. And I can confirm drugs do not fix anything, they just cause more problems. I've been clean almost 5 years now and it's still a struggle every single day. Do not go down that path, it will not fix you or help you.

@@suzysurgent62 When I was 18 I was in yet another abusive relationship, I'd gotten kicked out of school for missing too many days, and I did nothing but self harm, drink, get high, and hangout at my boyfriends house (now ex boyfriend). Then I finally saw my life for what it was, and what it would be forever if I didn't change. It took a few years and a lot of hard work but I haven't done drugs since 20, I rarely drink, and I haven't self harmed in a year. I just keep reminding myself if I go back to who I was before I'll never have the life I want. Plus it helps that my best friend is also clean and I know if I relapsed it would let him down.

Best tool my therapist taught me was visualising a safe place in my mind and taking my younger self there and explaining I have to go do adult things now and I'll be back to pick you up. It helps me calm down to do a social task. Another one was looking at a photo of myself as a child and smile at him and telling him I love him and all the things I needed to hear at that age. Doing that every day was helpful over time.

Thank you. I felt that, like a little bit of relief when I pictured myself explaining to 4 yr old me when I have to physically leave my house. I've been struggling with agoraphobia, something completely new and surprising. I finally realized it was literally the terror of a 4 yr old, bc tiny children aren't equipped for adult life, no wonder she's terrified. I've been looking for and trying ways to reassure her adult me is up to the task of protecting us, ways to calm and comfort. This feels like something I should try. Appreciate you sharing!

I have extreme fear of abandonment along with low self esteem. I just feel people leave me because they cant stand me. I have talk with my therapist about this. She asked me how i would cope with her having 4 weeks summer break. I told her i would be fine. I was anxious but i knew i would talk to her after those four weeks, we had set up three appointments and that was comforting to know. Then before our first appointment after summer she told me she had to cancel all her sessions due to illnes. I spiraled so bad. Cried for two days straight. And one week after, i am still sad. I really miss talking to her, i have seen some therapist over The years but she is The first i have opened up to and told my deepest secrets that makes me so ashamed. At The same time i feel an attatchment to her. I dont know anything about her outside therapy, but she has been my steady point since december and she has helped me cope and keep my head abow water. I fear she is seriously ill and i worry about her, because i do care about her in some way. Not knowing if or when i will Get to talk to her again is so hard. I hate this feeling of not knowing. I was going to tell her about my attatchment to her and how i have had many female figures during The years who i have felt a strong attatchment to. I feel emberasst for it, but i wanted to sort it out with her. I’m so sad, she has been a great help for me, and i am so thankful.

Maybe this helps: don’t be ashamed of what you’ve shared or your feelings of dependence… view these experiences as honest steps towards learning your own strong acceptance & independence. You’re not alone and nothing you’ve therapeutically shared (or weakness you have felt) makes you any less than the rest of us. It makes you committed to completing an inner goal… regardless who walks the path beside you.

I have nothing but compassion for my childhood self (well, I have sympathy, gratitude and admiration, too). She was so tender and vulnerable, and went through so much.

I was a heroin addict for 5 years back in Iran. I left my country to feel at peace. Get away from toxic parents and environment. I started studying clinical psychology to heal myself and to understand people around me better. Things have changed for me in a better way but I still am suffering from PTSD. I have flashbacks to my childhood. To my addiction, to my parents neglect. This wound is so deep ... I lost the connection between my brain and my body. Today I wanted to remove my spine and move like a worm (we were actually worms with no brain ! ) because You know Trauma keeps the score... It all landed on my shoulders and neck. I can't sit straight feels like I want to hold and keep my pain in between my arms ... Kati, in this world of chaos I realized that I don't need to search. I need to build. Love is helping me a lot. Having a partner who hears you, and understands you without judging you is healing because not everyone understands. Not everyone will open their arms to you when they hear what happened to you in the past.

Steven, at 68 I am struggle everyday. I have 11 (eleven) plus years in individual, group, and self-help therapy. I hear your struggle in this post. My struggle is within me. It is my anger, rage, why did it all happen, why is it still as painful as if it is NOW not then. This past year I have made a commitment to ME. I will, in the present, I will have PEACE. It has taken a full year to finally "click, get it". I have to give up the ANGER, the RAGE...I have every right to both, they do not bring me Peace. Before I die of natural cause, I will have Peace because I have a clear mission!... No one gets to say what any of our missions are, YOU will know as you process. We are given tools in therapy, no one has our answer necessary to heal...Wishing you insight as you journey.

My mother was emotionally unavailable, and didn't give affection, didn't say I love you. When I tried to hug her she'd push me off and tell me to go away. When I told her I loved her she wouldn't respond. I was the family scapegoat. The black sheep. When I was in my 20's I mentioned to my grandma in tears, that I didn't understand why my mom treated me differently than my older sister. She said she never understood it either and tried telling my dad when I was a kid. But my grandma was literally the most loving, affectionate woman ever. It wasn't forced, she genuinely loved me unconditionally. I remember in my later teens and early 20's I developed friendships with older women, it's like I literally sought them out. I don't do that anymore and I feel like I've healed a bit because I confronted my mom in my late 20's, and she was remorseful, cried and apologized and tried giving me a hug but I told her I didn't need it anymore it was too awkward. She still doesn't say I love you, she doesn't hug...she was abused as a kid, her mama was abused by her husband (my mom's dad), he was an alcoholic and addicted to gambling, they were poor and my mom was neglected on every level. Her dad finally got sober once her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, she passed away from it and she was 54 at that point. I was 3 when her mom died and she still cries about losing her mom. So in a way I think my mom did her best as a parent, she always made sure we had everything we needed and wanted. We never went hungry or without a home like she did. I have compassion and empathy for her, and I've forgiven her but still wish I could've had affection and love. I would like to try and heal my inner child so I can be the best mom possible. I tell my kids I love them daily, multiple times a day, but struggle with affection and I'm hoping I can somehow develop that with them. I do give them some affection but in my opinion it's not enough. I just don't think about it, if they come and hug me I hug them back, and kiss their heads, or my daughter on the lips or cheeks. If they sleep with me (which is mostly every night) we cuddle. Anyway! I wish I could be the perfect mom, so I don't cause any trauma for them.

I can empathise - my adoptive family were pretty insular, and while I did make some friends it was difficult and still is, as an adult, even after a few years of therapy. I think I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, though, but it's still confusing and scary at times! My main problem is not feeling like I know what to say and then I just stay quiet, stew and get anxious instead.

This video is really touching and I feel so helpful in this video. And finally found the reason that why I still suffering with something in the past. Neglect is the main causing me to still have same issues right now as 21. And also learn about “ inner child” and “child abuse” and it can happen for a long time without knowing and it can be worse if we don’t notice and speak up. And you say “ emotional abuse doesn’t leaves a mark that people can see” I can’t be more agree with that. Because that is how I feel but I don’t have any of words to express that feelings, and everyone just acting let you’re freak or too sensitive. It sucks. You also explained what cause self injury so well. And include the reason why people doing that. In my case, I do self injury for quite a long time of my life, maybe at least 10 years. I would self injury when I feel so numb and I got to feel something to get myself back in. Or I feel I’m not good enough and the fault is my own and I do it as a punishment. Sometimes I do it to transfer the pain I feel emotionally to physically that I can control. I had a time of explaining this to somebody else but that can’t understand why or even not understand the words I said. That is not making any sense to them. But this video it explain it so well as a therapist who is professional. Well done, thanks again. And by the way, I suffer from CPTSD as well, and I finally got myself into medication and therapy. But my problem might be too big cause I’m not only suffer from cptsd but also MDD, Anxiety, DID, Dissociation Amnesia. So wish me luck :)

I remember my mom always saying I was such a good baby. I realize now they thought I had adjusted well to the adoption. What they didn't register was that I didn't cry or cause any bother BECAUSE I'd already given up. Switching so many homes until I was officially adopted when I was 1 1/2... i wasn't able to attach to anybody. Crying was useless because my needs were not met. Sometimes...most of the time I hate them for being so stupid and not noticing.

Love these definitions of reaction versus response. Every healing process requires energy, patience and time. Yet the modern world that now knows so much about trauma does not give enough resources to help the really traumatized. Eg. a person from a healthy functional family who goes through a trauma might get support of various kinds (financial, food, cooking, cleaning, stay at their place, etc.) BUT a person from a dysfunctional family of orgin (parents never worked out their trauma, are toxic, etc. ) has less to lean on... so not working full time can be a problem.... Even in Europe, where there is generally accessible healthcare for all, society still has in many respects not figured out the details of facilitating how to allow the injured to seek help without sigmatizing them with a psychiatric diagnosis and for being lazy and not working full time. Most jobs are from 8 to 16 (4pm), but therapists also work from 8-16. Big companies are not expected to have emotion processing rooms for people who get triggered by eg. a toxic client or toxic coworker. No, people are expected to work and stuff their negative emotions till they get home. Even in Europe. Stuffing emotions is a basic survial strategy.... it keeps us functioning in other more important realms...... the Maslow Pyramid of needs and motivation shows us why..... Processing complex emotions and situations requires energy and time, yet in modern life in the western world we many times do not have that time. Social norm many times says that getting manicure is self care.... but real self care actually meets basic needs for the different parts of our bodies and soul: quality sleep, quality food, hygiene, time to rest outside of sleep, etc. .... AND processing life is a basic need.

I am a new listener to your channel. And it is funny how I have become more open to looking into the ‘why’ of my behavior patterns. It is said in Al-Anon that ‘you find it when you are ready to find it’. In this case I truly believe that is true. Before I came to Al-Anon I could not have even considered looking at my behavior in anyway and seeing it as dysfunctional at all. But Al-Anon held a mirror up to me and I started to SEE myself and forgive myself, as I only knew how to handle what I had the tools to handle. I found peace. But with the peace that surrounded the way I interacted with other people and helped me adjust the way I communicated, I still had anxiety. I had been seeing a therapist for several years, but sadly she died due to COVID December 2021. In addition, I had to send my kitty of twelve-years to the other side in December; and am only now re-emerging. (Well the pandemic isolation hasn’t helped) And now your video popped into my stream on KZitem. I do definitely believe that I could benefit from inner child work; I believe my mother was emotionally unavailable. Thanks to Al-Anon I have been able to forgive my mother internally and let go of the anger I carried. But now I see I still have yet to connect with myself. Thank you for sharing your thoughts online with us. I know you have struggles too; but it is so much easier to help others. At sixty, almost sixty one I am finally on the path to serenity ☺️

Thank you for being on KZitem. Your videos really give me things to think about. Although inner child work may sound ridiculous at first, the reality of it is actually much darker in many cases. Someone's inner child can be wounded for any number of reasons so when an adult goes back to think about their inner child, it might be shocking to find out that they have wounds they don't remember ever developing. This was the case for me when I first learned about my abandonment issues. I went through most of my life so far not knowing they were there so they must have developed at a very young age but were stuffed down. I probably didn't have the words to say I felt that way at the time and my memory faded as I grew up. The older I became, the less in-touch I was with the wounds that caused my abandonment issues to develop. I don't blame anyone for my abandonment issues, but the fact they're there still means I need to work through them.

I am currently in Therapy for the second time at the age of 67. The first time a few years ago was from SA from my older brother. All 4 of us children had major issues with our Mum. I have worked out with my therapist that she was a Narcissist. But the other day, sparked by something my sister said brought up a memory I was unaware of. It was to do with Mum washing my hair in the bath when I was about 6 years old and I couldn’t breathe because of the water pouring down my face. I told my Mum but she just pushed down and kept my head under the water. I was spluttering and panicking but she didn’t care. I have done EMDR tapping on that memory with my therapist. I want to say how good doing inner child work is.

I really clicked with all of these issues so far but especially the one's with abusive relationships and the feeling of not deserving the love, care and attention that is needed. especially with the feeling of mistrust in those that do show that towards me

Wow, thank you again!! I eat to pacify myself. I also moan and rock. When I binge eat, I'll feel an adrenaline rush and a wave of happiness will come over me. People want to fix my weight with some diet (been on many) but I know the healing has to come from within.

I finally met someone while dating who I connect with on a deep emotional level. This is something that I've wanted for so many years. It's triggering my inner child constantly. I cry sometimes after dates, when I get text messages and whenever I think that I might lose this person. I have struggled to get proper sleep for over a week.

this makes so much sense with people who age regress! as someone who has been with people who age regress, i noticed due to social norms, alot of the time they suppress that side of them and therefore they dont have many chances or people they trust to ACTUALLY be themselves and try not only to cope with their traumatic past, but actively explore it and find some sort of peace with it and move past it meanwhile growing as a person and i just love seeing them grow as i actively encourage them to go into their 'little space', as they explore that side, learning about it and who they were and are all the while being in a safe and stress-free environment both mentally and physically

Wow, this really speaks to me...I remember stuffing my emotions down when I was a kid because I never felt like I was ok to express my emotions. I'm still working on healing from my childhood...I sometimes overreact, especially when I get overstimulated (I deal with sensory issues like loud noises, crowds, etc) and it can cause me to overreact or lash out...or sometimes I see things that aren't there...or old insecurities come out like people pleasing even though I'm in a better place now...I'm still working on healing...and this video was a reality check that reminded me I have some more work to do.

Im going to start talking to my childhood self now. I'm 62 and have had many unhealthy relationships with alcoholics, drug addicts and recently a sex addict who was a narcissist. I want to face my childhood pain and heal. Cry, pray but be careful not to become bitter and a angry. You can only love yourself and help yourself, not the abuser.

I've been getting a little more into inner child work lately, especially with inner child meditation. It can be so easy to push our childhood experiences aside, even telling ourselves we should be stronger than this. All too often the real strength comes from not suppressing but expressing. Thanks for the helpful video, I'm looking forward to checking out your workshop. :)

The Body Remembers, an important book and thing we need to talk deeply about. FND and CRPS have a HIGH rate of prior abused patients. The brain is rewired from abuse, and can cause our neural-pathways to change the way they send messages. I wish there was a video about abuse and these chronic pain sort of conditions.

omg I feel like this all the time , it's like I'm often just a few seconds from Bursting into tears. I know I desperately need therapy regarding childhood sexual abuse but it is absolutely terrifying to even think about digging all that crap up . can I ask you if its quite common for people who think they have dealt with crap years ago because they hardly ever think about it and then get 30 years down the line and suddenly become overwhelmed with it all ? I thought I was fine until I got to about 45 years old and my head randomly fell off about it all ?!! had to add to that , when you got to addiction. I fought all my life that I was using because I enjoyed crack cocaine and heroin and its only lately I've come to realise that sexual abuse has to have a huge effect on us and affect our subsequent behaviours! and I'm half way through this video and realise you are completely answering my questions!

I have far too much anger to even start healing at this point. Instead I just keep hurting myself over and over out of the anger I have about how I was abused as a child. My favorite song is by Nine Inch Nails, "I hurt myself today", because it fits me exactly.

@juliecarson4332 unfortunately I am strongly averse to anything religious as that is a factor of my abuse as my mother used religion as a weapon to manipulate me and others into believing she was an innocent victim when she was the victimizer all along. Took me a long time to realize and finally start saying no to my mom, and that almost killed me as my mom resorted to ever more drastic actions to manipulate me, which then resulted in me cutting off all contact with my mom, which was the hardest thing I ever did as I felt extremely guilty and stressed out to the point I wound up in the hospital with a stomach ulcer and almost bled to death. So religion is the opposite of helpful for me, which is part of my resentment as I hurt myself badly in rejecting the church and its teachings as a dysfunctional way of retaliating against my moms abuse. Whatever the church said, I did the opposite to hurt myself, which then hurt my mom in a passive aggressive way, which was the only way I could say no to my moms abuse, as I was raised to respect her directly and her abuse by my father. I had a crazy upbringing far worse than most I think, but I am headed in the right direction overall as I need to be angry and resentful now even though my way of being angry and resentful involves being self destructive in ways that I cannot control due to my abuse starting at a very young age.

I think the only problem is security and love which we didn't feel when we were baby and child. Behaviours aren't problems those are symptoms. So we have to learn security and love as a baby, in my opinion.

I honestly don't see anything in the human world that confirms the idea I deserve to be loved. If you don't have money then you live under a bridge. I think people with good enough or better parents can gain the impression they deserve to be loved from their parents and then that basically blocks out how the world is and it is partially true as their parents will support that notion, even if that's just one or two people doing that in society. Is it a wound or just accepting reality without blinking?

I got thrown off the back of a motorcycle and when I came home, after a visit to urgent care, my mother didn't even take her eyes off the TV. I went to the bathroom and through tears picked gravel out of my forearms. She didn't check on me and it was never acknowledged again, so I'm aware that I need inner child work.

You can definitely heal inner child wounds. It takes time, patience, and some effort. I think writing letters to your inner child is a great idea. I suggest try to something each day that your inner child will be proud of. Maybe try to be strong in an area that you once struggled with. When you keep taking positive steps, the inner child feels safe and proud.
