The Child Within is the holding bin of repressed trauma and thwarted creativity saved and buried by us as children it destroys us as adults. All that lives in our mind begins to fester and make its presence known through symptoms—physical or emotional. Here the unconscious rules our life. And rules our unconscious child within.
Even though symptoms may be painful, they really are our friends—for they tell us that something has gone wrong. Our symptoms tell us that our version of a perfect childhood, or our family’s version of a perfect family, is not true. We begin to suspect that something occurred in our history that has hurt us. Eruptions from the unconscious are really seismic helpers. As painful as they may be, they are an emergence of repressed material that needs our healing, love, and attention contact with our child within. They can save our lives. In fact, without them we are lost.They will become our LEGO to piece together our recovery at the stages.
