It was during my last relationship with a narcissist that I became aware of my cPTSD situation.
While shocking then, I'm laughing about it now! To diagnose why he was cheating on me, I understood his childhood trauma and narcissism. After I broke off, I focussed on myself to realise I still crave a father figure. He abandoned us in childhood. Not only that, I grew up knowing that that would happen eventually!
Not a very happy childhood; yet, it evolved me as a person!
I reinitiated blogging ten years back in my reclusive spell. What I didn't realise is that I also had a side that was not affected and that I needed to let her take over from time to time. All this while I thought that that was an alter in me!
Now that I realize what the story is, I show up for myself every single day, every single time, more consciously since I was doing all of that unknowingly. Now, I talk to my inner child checking on her if she is happy and if she wants something more.
It took me a while to understand how I can do this to myself. It works like a charm.
So yes, I'm writing, sketching and painting for the last ten years. I experimented with food last few years. And now also started recording myself singing
Only last evening the reality dawned on me that I was going back to becoming who I was in childhood. Incredibly sensitive, intelligent (I'm studious, and emotionally intelligent. Needless to state my style of attachment is anxious. So, I'm working on my attachment, anxiety and that little child who lived as a celebrity (due to my academics and participation in extra curricular activities) in school and was content even in a dysfunctional home and parenthood!
Thanks for posting this video. I've been wondering how to figure out if the work I'm doing on myself is actually working. You validated

I'm a victim of emotional neglect as a child, and charged with too much responsibilities at five years old. After a severe depression that lasted almost three years, I went two months ago on a trip to Naples, Italy, alone, for the first time of my life. There were no responsibilities at all, no one to judge me. Naples is a huge and always in a hurry city where nobody has the time to judge you or even watching you. I have been able to act as I wanted to, I saw dolphins, made subdiving, and I could do whatever I wanted to, acting like a child, eating ice creams, drinking granitas, laughing loud, dancing in the streets, being amazed by small things, having behaviours I always forbid myself to have. My inner child got out, and I let her express herself. I was just happy to do so. Now I'm not afraid anymore to be childish whenever I want. I think my inner child begins to heal, I turned 30 years old three months ago and I'm living the best part of my life.

I used to be in a lot of trouble growing up and my school life and just mostly being a minor in general didnt really help things as Im quite different from most in quite a few ways that being said while I obviously have my issues everyone does but I eventually almost 7 years started a job that was a bit of a risk for me but not impossible but it was just impossible enough to phesable now having said(I definitely had help from family members)all of that theres way to find niches and to find a happy medium but for some like myself it took a really long time even though by me typing it wouldnt seem like it. Im fittingly enough a left hand dominant as they say in a right handed world so that definitely didnt help things though I did have some work arounds. Point being is growing up and jumping the shark a lot of the times is just not realistic.

Ive spent years trying to put my inner child in a pandora box. But each time it finds ways to escape from it. I am learning not to do that anymore. And embrace my past trauma as a healing process. I learned that its not going to happen overnight so sometimes I have to let time do its own thing. My biggest trauma which is sometimes triggers me the most is the fact I was molested as teenager but knowing what I know now I have, had and will do better for myself. Each day brings me new challenges and opportunities. I just have realized that if I live in the moment and not scold myself in my head for the mistakes that may happens in a day then just maybe I can be closer to healing my inner child a bit more.

I am more forgiving of myself.
I am learning thar When I do a mistake i constantly need to think about what to do to fix it.
As a child, a mistake as small as spilling a cup of water, would get me called dumb or naive from my parents, and it worked I stopped spilling water but not for the good reasons.
I grew up thinking that I need to feel guilt and pain when I do a mistake, even if it was small, rather than learning why it is a mistake in first place, and that I still have plenty of cups of water to improve, I grew up trying not to commit mistakes so I dont get called out, not because they are bad for me or people around me.

I am healing my inner child by watching cartoons I never watched as a kid or because I wasn't born yet when they were released or another thing is that I want to know why other people felt nostalgic about it and lastly because watching cartoons is fun thing to do (I know, I'm just nostalgic) I am not traumatized as a kid but my teenage years are somehow messed up so I guess instead of inner child, I'm calling mine inner teen and it's already healing, well not completely but I'm working on it

Iv learned to love, talk and teach that little and neglected boy and also learned how to face and conquer my fears. I feel free, I feel a deep sense of peace a lasting happiness, like never before.
It's amazing how you carry such a heavy burden without even noticing it, when you learn to let go the past you can feel peace, find silence and stay calm even when things are difficult.

I'm 24 and 3 years ago when my mom put a restraining order against my abusive old man, the house became a lot less toxic and my mental health significantly improved. I was insecure most of my life but now I'm alot more secure and I've been dealing on my trauma(both myself and therapy. Now I feel like a kid again that loves to explore and learn stuffs.

I think I'm doing good so far, I'm in the catharsis phase, it still feels weird to enjoy things, like I can't focus on positive, I can't see them, at least for now, idk how to do this tho, I suppose it is trying to be more aware of the things I do when happy, but even tho I'm not super far in the healing, I think is great to see that at least I'm healing

Im showing a little bit of all of these signs
A few months ago I started feeling normal again, like how I felt when I was a little kid
And even less time ago the radio in my head returned
When I was a little kid songs would constantly play on repeat in my head when I had nothing else to think about
So I think Im feeling more normal again

I feel this video so much. It has been such a relief and positive to heal my Inner Child. A lot of these are _very_ familiar to me.
My trauma was mostly neglect and the negative emotions and withdrawal due to that. It was bad, but having therapy and doing work on myself for years has helped immensely.

Laughing wholeheartedly
God I wish I could do that. I was told that my laugh was too much or too big by my dad when I was a kid, and so I toned it down. Unfortunately I toned it down so much I effectively shut it off. I havent heard my wholehearted laugh in well over a decade

Hmm, sounds like it. I think what did it for me is being able to do things (like go outside and see people, I had reasons I couldnt do that much before) and have friends.
Im really grateful that I got to have that time of acting like a kid with them before everyone outgrew it.

I did pick up on a hobby I used to embrace as a child
I was literally obsessed with paleontology and natural history and now I'm back at it
And I've returned to playing mario games lol
On the rest I don't really know if those signs are present in me, but we'll see

But to even notice these signs, they can all be traced back to one thing. How to deal with self-hate? If self-hate is not dealt with, the chances of healing the inner child will not even arrived in the first place. So how can one put an end to self-hate?

Having been in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for a year, I learned the best way to heal my childhood trauma is to speak to myself like I'm the loving parent I needed. Things like I deserve better. It's about having a healthy inner voice.

Im working on my inner child with my therapist. At first i thought it was a load of crap (im 55) but its actually helping me deal with my past and present. Did you know that trauma from your past can manifest as autoimmune diseases?

Glorious video, Pysch2Go! By the way, can you make two videos; one about overly rigid boundaries (signs we have them, why they're unhelathy and how to soften and/or prevent them) and another video about self-obsession?

My inner child still requests Lunchables, GoGurt, and HotWheels/Matchbox cars every time we go to the store. My outer adult has a degree and a full time job. Taylor Swift can only dream of being this Treacherous.

My inner child is trying to forget and forgive most of all. Every single night I have dreams of trauma, but why if my heart and soul wants to forgive and forget oh why wont it stop? I really wish it would stop.
