I wonder if anyone else is having trouble getting your inner child to come to the present with you. I get him/me off the porch and through the yard and he turns and has seperation anxiety. I eventually talk him into coming with me by telling him of all the bad things he will not have to endure. I tell him I have already endured that for him. He seems to turn and come beside me but when I get out in the street he has disappeared.
Maybe he fears discipline if he enters the street or I am doing or reading something wrong. But i turn and he is nowhere in sight. Not in the yard not on the porch. I know this probably sounds silly, but maybe someone has had a similar experience. Each time I go to this place though, it seems less real to me.

It is not "silly." It is fear and self-alienation. It might be disassociation as well. Keep trying. Your child does need you. In the meantime he is with your Higher Power.  |

Yes, identify with that. I initially made contact with my inner child with great success, however it feels as though there is a fog seperating the two of us, I am wondering if there could be another inner child wanting to come into the picture, as my first encounter with my inner child he was about 5 years old; i have had other inner children appear from an earlier age & as an adolescant however it feels harder making contact with these other ones. Any suggestions for moving forward?

Luke: Go with the flow. Your subconscious is trying to release its secrets. I have three children. Susie is 4 and cries a lot. She is the most wounded. (That is the age I was put in the hospital.) Gretchen is 12 and angry all the time. (That is the age my brother was killed.) Star is around five. She was born in therapy and is happy and free. The innner child must unfold naturally. Keeping looking and talking and paying attention. Use your imagination to the fullest. |

I feel my only child. I never realized my abandonment issues went so deep. As a friend and I's educational paths divide..social circles differs...careers and romantic lifes proceed, we're growing farther apart. I really am terribly sad. I was actually quite close with her family. I am beginning to feel incredibly abandones, kicked to the side and forgotten, I feel adopted..even though logically that is not my family and they are doing bonding as they should, i feel so silly for feeling left out...I think all those years of being baby sat by different families makes me which my unit bonded and hung out--but we don't...even as an adult--I still can't seem to just accept that ppl come in your life for seasons.
