Inner Child

Chris, my Inner Child, has been having a bit of a hard time of late, but is starting to show him self more again the last few days.

He always finds winter hard to deal with as he does not like the long dark nights, as several bad things happened to him during this time of year. As we head towards spring things should start to become easier again for him, and since i have more nightmares when he is hiding, things should start to become easier for me as well.

Many abuse survivors wonder what is inner child therapy. In short it is a way of reparenting the inner child and helping them to feel safer, as well as showing them unconditional love.

There are several inner child books that may be of help, if you are considering inner child work.

Adult Sexual Abuse Survivors

Adult Sexual Abuse Survivors including those who are a Male Survivor like myself sometimes find the new year a hard time to cope with.

For many it is a time to reflect on the past year.... A chance to look back and see how much they have improved or slipped back into old ways of thinking. This year for myself, I can see many improvements in the ways that I deal with life, more so than in past years.

No longer am I ruled by black and white thinking... Well not most of the time anyway. A year ago, a few crap moments in a day would have left me feeling that my whole day had been crap... Where as now I can see those moments for what they are... Just moments of a day.
