As children our brains are growing at a furious rate, the neurons are connecting and the brain is being wired, literally, for relationship and connection. If the adults around were not available or inconsistent in their availability or abusive, the attachment bond that is created is called ‘insecure’.
Often, when we were children, there were many times we felt alone, unheard and unnoticed. We received the message that we were not worthy of time, love and attention.
This first relationship ‘imprint’ continues into adulthood. We have unconscious expectations that we will be treated, and deserve to be treated, as we were when we were children. This is often felt in all areas of life, in intimate relationship, friendships and at work.
Working with the Inner Child is the first step towards creating a safe home base. One that can never leave, that will always be available and loving.
This meditation is suitable for those who have a lots of experience with inner child work, and for those who have NO experience at all. It is a gift from me to you.
If you are following me on Instagram, here is an opportunity for you to connect with me there.
Post a picture of yourself as a small child, add one thing you love about your inner child and a promise you are making to her today and tag @psychotherapy.central … and I will post it :).
