Healing the inner child is not about discipline in my opinion. Its about letting the suppressed emotions finally out and give your pain room. So I cry, laugh, i am angry. Parents often teach their children to suppress their emotions.. The child teaches the adult the lesson: please love me and hear me out.. You have been ignoring me for so long....

Interesting topic but would be easier if she didn’t keep talking over and interrupting him

So that's why I feel stuck. I try explain to people and all i can say is i feel stuck or trapped. Trapped in my child's mind

I don't understand a single sentence. Can someone help me? I am intellectually challenged

❤I want to be one with Jesus Christ His loves makes me worthy.❤ I will forgive my parents for poor parenting. I am wonderfully made by God. Amen

I'm 41 and beginning my journey to heal. I've always heard of the inner child and not once did I ever dream that it'd apply to me. Here I am. Just finished crying my head off. Boy.. the familiar. I knew some of these things about myself and had clue that there's terminology for it all. Discussions for it all. Healing for all. I have found my purpose.

When I was about 7-8 I heard my dad ask my mum why I couldn’t be more like my sister. Since that very moment, I was full of anger and thought I was a bad person. Literally, now, at the age of 39, I have spent my whole life thinking and believing (still do) that I am a bad person. I haven’t done anything particularly bad and I forgive others when they have hurt me but I can’t seem to extend that same forgiveness to myself. This video was eye-opening to me. Also, my dad accused me of doing something when I was 14 that I hadn’t done. I still remember the pain of that injustice now all these years later. The helplessness of not being believed. I can see a lot of my future issues stem from these experiences

Oh my goodness I am crying right now because I didn’t know till now bout inner child the way you explained it I have been in deep depression , feeling unworthy, stupid ,ugly ,lonely since my childhood I have very difficult childhood I am 55 years this particular teaching an eye-opening ❤ Alex and David give me hope ❤ and I may add you are really really genuinely here to help people like me….. I am so grateful I found you ❤❤❤

All adults still have an inner child. Our emotional selves never grow up. Our emotional selves are always children, so the leaders of our world are essentially angry, fearful 5 year olds with nuclear weapons.

When he said “it must be me” I could’ve cried or my inner child wanted to cry. Cuz that’s EXACTLY how I felt, being the middle child and my dad leaving. I was even told that my dad didn’t want anymore kids after my sister and always believed that I was the reason for my parents divorcing or the reason my dad couldn’t stay. But I’m slowly reassuring my inner child that what they went through had nothing to do with me and everything to do with them. Thank you for this ♥️

Thank you for this. I went through a lot of childhood abuse and then had to deal with homelessness at 16. To survive in those situations I supressed my emotions. I didn't have the feeling of safety as a child nor the love and care. The last few years I've learnt to cry, I've learnt how to accept and trust love from others and I'm starting to feel emotional depth and emotions I've never allowed myself to feel after years of suppression.

I’m so glad I’ve found your channel. I have a lot of hurt from my childhood which over this year I discovered is the root of my anxiety/depression, and have been trying to pick it apart and make sense of it. Your videos are really helping me with how to work through things and try and reframe things, and although it’s not been easy, I’m learning how to deal with it. I have a long way to go, but I finally feel like I’m starting to get somewhere.when you talk about the vow, about ‘there’s something wrong with me', that’s exactly how I feel about what happened, and that’s always how I’ve felt. I was bullied from ages 4-16 relentlessly, and the bullies voice became my own, and I’m learning to separate myself from what is actually me and how I feel about myself and what are the bullies words. I think people often think that bullying is something that you just brush away, but it’s had a very profound effect on my life and has coloured everything from relationships to employment. I’m 39 now and feel like I’m just learning how to live again.

the only answer is love. love is what it wants thats how you heal

I’ve been doing inner child work for years and this is a great discussion and many have no idea how powerful it is and what it takes... but having a sacred space to work is also important 🙌🏾😃

As a 55 year old man I feel this Childhood problems should not bother me. After the death of my Father all these feelings of being unloved or held for dumb have surfaced. Sometimes I always had the feeling that I had to please my Parents .

You two are so helpful to overcome emotional abuse. Thank you.

Amazing! Many people think self-discipline is some kind of punishment when its actually one of the most loving thing you can do for yourself. You also find out the truth while doing it and trauma gets healed in the process. As a survivor from child abuse I had to teach my inner child that self discipline is not the same as abuse or punishment. but care. It was hard at first but after a while I began to enjoy it and wanted more.

intuitively this just feels exactly like what I knew I never knew.

Wow. The "vow" part is so impressive! It literally describes how I think about myself: It must be me. There must be something wrong with me.
