Why Moving On Feels Like a Betrayal to Your Inner Child #innerchildhealing #emotionalabuse

[00:00:00]This is what I missed when I was first on the recovery journey. You stay connected to the pain as a way of staying connected to that little girl or that little boy who you are finally recognizing has this pain. Because somewhere deep inside there is a belief that says, "If I let this go, I am leaving that version of me behind." So, it feels like I'm abandoning the inner child again, and I am not willing to do that. I'm not willing to abandon myself again. So, it's sort of like this in between time of true ascension recovery or true emotional recovery. I just want people to be aware that that happens.

[00:00:34]And that's where your emotional block lives, not in your ability to actually heal, but in your loyalty to your past self or to the experiences that you feel are evidence that your inner child was wounded in the first place. I mean, does that blow your mind?

[00:00:50]It blew my mind. I hope it blows your mind. And this is why some people stay stuck in cycles of overthinking or retelling their story or revisiting the same wounds. It's not because we're crazy, and it's not because we're beyond repair. It sometimes is because we are trying to remain connected to that wounded part of ourselves that was never fully seen. It was never fully seen.

[00:01:13]That's why all the work that I do is teaching people how to see themselves.

[00:01:19]This is where true recovery begins. If you're interested in taking [music] part in the next 12-week breathe through coaching program, then please click the link below. We'd be happy to have you.
