Our Child Within Is connected to our life-force and is inherently pure. When Our Child Within feels safe, cherished, protected, loved, accepted and worthy – he or she comes out to play. As a result we feel creative, expansive, generous, loving and joyful and we absolutely know how to grant and receive flourishing. We develop an intuitive voice which know how to speak up, honour ourself, be authentic and how to generate truth and wholesomeness and remove ourself from what and who isn’t truthful.
If our Child Within feels unsafe, dismissed, rejected, abandoned and unworthy – he or she is broken and damaged, and is terrified about coming out to play, and instead will try to get our attention desperately to go and retrieve and heal him or her – so that he or she can.
The way the Child Within does this is through screaming out in pain – which is exactly what painful triggers are, as well as intense emotional anguish. If this doesn’t work, then the Child Within manifests nervous system disorders such as severe depression, addictions or agoraphobia, and then if this is not enough to get us to turn inwards to help, the Child Within creates physical issues which could escalate to serious ones.
Our Child Within also tries to warn us with its intuitive voice ….
He or she screams out NOT to go back to the scene of the crime, such as pick up that phone and break No Contact, NOT to drink that bottle of alcohol, NOT to get into a new relationship whilst being so needy and broken, and NOT to try to get accountability again from that person who is continually abusing us.
How many times did we know we should NOT be doing something but we did it anyway … regardless of how painful we knew the results would be?
To access our child within we need to be creative in our recovery seeking playmates in our recovery.
