    Complex trauma, complex ptsd...when I became a parent I became the parent I always wanted, nurturing and protective. Then I adopted two little girls, and everything I did for them was healing to me. I raised a house full of kids, and it was absolutely healing to see them grow up confident, happy, and loved. That's my revenge, the ability to love and be loved. 😏

      Happiness and fulfillment in life isn't just, or even primarily, things that you get just by reaching your goals. Happiness and fulfillment is a path rather than a destination. Reaching goals tells your mind that you're capable of reaching goals that you set, which is why everyone should have a number of realistic and small short-term goals, whether or not they contribute to any long-term goals. Happiness isn't a stash of treasure that makes you happy to have, but the universe paying your mind rent as it stays on the right path. A person can have everything they feel they might ever want and be unhappy, or nothing that they want and be very happy, because you can't be happy if you don't have wishes, desires and goals, and you're less likely to have those or experience having them in a positive way if you don't think it's realistic to attain them.
      That's the basis of the tragedy of narcissists. When they won't allow their minds to be changed or contributed to even by those that they care for, it's often because they truly do care about the matters they insist that they're right about and they hold themselves to high enough expectations that it tends to make them feel insulted when others try to present them with evidence that might infer they're not doing proper justice to their own values. When a person declines to accept any knowledge and wisdom that listening to others might provide them with, they're both discouraging the other person from possibly ever being up for trying to helpfully correct or teach *any* person who might find benefit in their efforts to be beneficial (which can lead to feelings of uselessness), and the narcissist, at the same time, is denying their would-be helpers the opportunity to prove to them that people who (and ideas that) don't agree with them can still be valuable to them. Narcissists are born from a habit of not listening to people, which usually becomes a trend when they don't feel like anyone ever listens to *them*, which can be true regardless of who's right or wrong.
      If a person automatically assumes that most other people aren't worth them listening to, they'll trick themselves into denial of that by only listening to people who they believe agree with them, that can help them defend what they say, so happiness, to them, then is a matter of knowing that they've successfully held their ground---because success, to them, is their track record of never having to compromise representing the fact that they never actually have to concede anything in order to maintain their sense of security. A lonely, sad life is a life devoid of challenges. If life ever feels oppressively tiring to live out every day, it can be a sign of being so scared of anything challenging due to too many negative challenges having traumatized you in regards to difficulties that some of your energy is being spent avoiding any challenges more than what already unpleasantly challenges you. Similar to a narcissist refusing to believe that others who would challenge them to see from other perspectives can be of value to them, depressed folks can see challenges as threats because they sap energy.
      But exciting and rewarding challenges don't often cost as much energy as they *give*! So good, good, good for you! Give yourself visual ways to track your progress! Watering plants is therapeutic because their health is evidence of your successful efforts. You don't need to become a gardener, but having a little day planner calendar that doubles as a mini diary tracking your goals might be an idea. Good luck, friendo! 🌻🌞🌈

    Sometimes, the best way to care for your inner child (& your inner teen & your inner young adult) is to get the heck away. I left my parents’ house at 19, moved across the country, and never went back. Even when my mother finally reached out to me, I didn’t go back. I talked to her on the phone once a week, sent cards and gifts for birthdays and major holidays, but still stayed as far as I could without leaving the country. I got counseling, got married, had my child, and followed the advice my counselor and parenting classes. Now I’m 69, my daughter is 35, and we are did fine & continuing fine.

    I’ve also connected with the story of Rapunzel and Tangled. My parents were narcissists and were controlling and overbearing. They didn’t let me hang out with friends or even family so as an only child I often felt like my room was my ‘tower’. Having adhd, my mom often made comments about me not being able to stand on my own. I struggle now with isolating myself whenever I’m down or struggling. It’s bittersweet bc I do like my space as an introvert but I often feel lonely as well. Loneliness is something I know too well. Currently in the process of escaping my tower and breaking free but it’s scary as hell

      @@whitebirchtarot HI😊 so sorry I didn’t see the comment. What’s helping me? Well, I have a life coach and a somatic trauma therapist. I have had 7 therapists in the last 20 years, and no one was able to help me until my life coach. I was in a dark place, with so much shame, and I hated myself. I also didn’t like the younger me, I was abused and neglected and unsafe , and i just didn’t want to face it. I had an autistic son which was so hard(he is a blessing, an angel). I started self medicating with alcohol, until i was addicted. I quit drinking 5 years and 9 months ago, and then got off my anti depressants, and then everything hit me. The work is looking back, and loving your younger self, so you can love your self today. I had to set boundaries with people who always took advantage and treated me poorly, I stopped talking to my narcissistic mother 2 days before I quit drinking. My childhood was extremely bad. I am still struggling at times, but there is no cure for complex ptsd, i just have to learn what works for me when i am triggered, but loving myself really helped. I use to starve myself, now since doing inner child work, I make sure to at least feed myself a couple of times a day. that was hard. Sorry for rambling, I hope i helped a little❤️

I have adhd and have a very hard time processing things and emotions, so if i dont reflect i would literally never know how i felt about anything or understood why anything happened. I grew up with parents who have anger issues and didnt comfort me much at all and forced me to face the world on my own, so that alone has given me a lot of trauma and my inner child is very wounded. Add on everything else ive been through and if you artistically represented what the child would look like then itd be like a brutal murder scene.

    If my inner child is wounded, he's probably put a tourniquet on it himself, because that's what he learned- if you want something taken care of, there's no point in asking an authority figure for help because they're useless at best, so you're going to have to do it yourself. Anything from resolving a bullying issue with violence because schools do nothing about it to walking miles because you're tired of having to harass your parents to get a ride to an important function, the little me that lives in my brain is viciously independent and that continues to inform my total refusal to ask for help to this day.

It's now time to forgive my inner child for all the emotions, and take care of it. I am 49 and suffer from anxiety, people pleasing and give too much of myself away. I am very loving but also seek confirmation. Learning to accept myself and the shortcomings I have is a life long struggle. Now and then I have had suicidal thoughts and also got professional help.

      It sucked!!!!! I went to a therapist that I’m pretty sure is a narcissist herself. She did not get to know me well, (one week), before starting a treatment that was not good for me. (EMDR)…She violated patient-client relationship multiple times, and used my time to frequently tell me stories of her own, often the same story repeated at two or three sessions. Finally had enough and walked away from her. That was 2019. Took 3 years to finally start feeling like myself again. I got better results and learned more about myself, working on my own. I had to heal first from that experience! And then I could start healing the rest. It would’ve been nice and probably a little easier had I had a friend or companion to lean on, but at least I know I did it on my own. 🥰 (and a LOT of help from God/spirit/source, the universe, whatever you like to call “it”. ) 🥰😇 I completely understand why you don’t want to.

Therefore, I can actually __choose__ to let the past go and to avoid those "forces" at all, preferring my own will.
      Back about you, acknowledging the past IS painful, I'm not stating the opposite, BUT it might help you to both understand why you are acting, feeling and preferring the way you are and separating that past (with all of its consequences) from your present and, more importantly, your future.
      Also, "running away" from the memories of the past by "hiding" them will not remove them: facing them, and strongly stating that those past experiences does live in the past only will help tin moving on. It requires courage and bravery, of course, and TRUE convinction. You also need to understand what "true convinction" : for me, it's the chain of logical steps and mechanisms, rooting back to ancestral and animal instincts and "gears", for you it might be something else.
      Build your basis (logical like me, or whatever) to disconnect the influence of your past over your present, and you'll be free. "More free", to say the least. Your "Will" will thank you :)

    I found therapy definitely helps! The writing letter part is really good. Also I think of my future children I don’t have yet and what I’d tell them. I also look at pictures of myself as a child and tell her I love her and I’m sorry. That things at that age were not my fault but now I can break free from my parents mistakes and make a better life for myself. It’s hard as my adult life were full of mistakes due to an unhealed inner child but it’s never too late to change and do better.

    The divorce on my parents had to get me to rethink of my past due to my relationship with both of my parents and it was a toxic environment I was glad to get away from but it used to send triggers to my mind until talking to my counselor about it. That was the inner child for me to start to be happy with myself. I had to think of when I was happy until the breaking point where all hell broke loose and I lost the person I once knew. But in the end I had to forgive my dad for his mistakes. And I had to write my thoughts down in a journal for two years along with other mental health issues as well. I'm more happier today than I was until the last 3 years of my teenage life. I'm more happier now around christ-centered people and my faith as well. Don't let your past make you bitter, let it make you better.

Or no problem if you r feeling low or unproductive today or a whole month.... It's totally fine.... And I always say that you did this right in past.. You did that right thing in a past.... I know I did countless mistake in my past.... But for healing my inner child I am often remind him good thing that he did in the past .... I always choose to think what I want instead of what I did wrong in past.... I m right now in not so good condition.... But I know it's because of my wounded inner child who is suffering from childhood trauma.... I m 29 year old..... I m on the way to heal my childhood trauma without any help of psychiatrist.....

    My dad was a shirt-tempered, controlling, and narcissistic asshole when I was a kid, so this definitely explains why I'm almost 40 and can't get my life going. I can't shake the feeling that I need help or permission to do anything or go anywhere even though I don't. I feel completely worthless. Everything I could've done with my life and the person I could've been are all gone because of him. He always had a very unhealthy nostalgia for when my sister and I were little kids and he made sure he'd do anything to stop us from evolving as people no matter the cost. Luckily, my sister didn't stand for it and she's doing very well today, but I was too weak to fight it. Now I have no real chance at a future and just want to die. Granted, he's mellowed since then, but the damage is done and he's completely unaware he's done anything wrong. I try to let it go and move past it, but it's just not possible. It's like admitting defeat and I don't want to give him that conformation, even though he's already won. I can't fucking stand that prick.

I did not fit in and was questioned and blamed for it when it was more because my family’s lifestyle (religious) kept me isolated. I didn’t learn how to be social. I escaped by reading. So here’s my advice, take what works for you. Be kind to yourself. You are not a misfit, you were not taught. Go to counseling. It saved me. Keep trying and don’t expect to change overnight. These things take time. Remember…be kind to yourself.

I became I a babysitter (also that was only job I could with my skills) thanks to that job I had learned how to care for kids in non toxic way how to talk to them in difficult stressful situations. It was difficult I could see the patterns that my parents had put into me and I had to be very aware to no longer act the same way toward the kid I am taking care of. Fortunately it turned out I did a great job and kids love me and I had learn how to take care of my own inner child thanks to this and that’s amazing I didn’t even know that I have had so much love to offer to myself and others. I am healing it takes time today I am feeling down I am sick had to stay in bed and I feel like I am behind in life with some things.

That my feelings are to be shared whether I like it or not, and I felt unsafe... So I didn't speak. I was quiet... I shut up and suffered. I wish they had given me time then...

    This kinda helped me a bit. I had a mental breakdown two nights before and I couldn’t even move at all yesterday. My parents didn’t really help much cuz whenever I talk to them it’s lecture and I feel pathetic. Yet they yell at me for calling myself that even tho they keep saying what I cry about it BS. So idk what to feel.
    It’s video kinda helped me. I finally am gonna go see a Therapist and I’ll ask if they think that this is valid. Cuz I never felt like I was a kid much in my childhood..thanks for making this video it helped a lot

    Yes, her name is Rose. Today is the day that my father blamed me for his divorce to my mother. I was in 8th grade at the time. Since then both of my parents have passed away but what he said impacts me to this day. I call her Rose because she wants to be loved but not hurt.
