"OUT OF THE DARKNESS" POST 113

Inner child wounds have been experienced by so many of us.  They are buried oh so deep.

Usually they are wounds that inevitably take the longest to bring to the surface and heal.

These are emotional and psychological, caused from 

bad childhood experiences.  These wounds can stem from a single incident or ongoing experiences that leave emotional scars.  Emotional wounding is the most common type of childhood trauma coming from  dismissed or ignored emotions.

It then becomes very difficult for the person to maintain any emotional stability.

They are:

1   Abandonment

2   Guilt

3.  Trust 

4   Neglect

5.  Humiliation

6.  Betrayal and

7.  Injustice

With an abandonment wound you feel left out, you fear being left, you hate being left alone, you are co-dependent, you will threaten to leave and are most definitely attracting emotionally unavailable people as well.

Guilt wounds make you feel overall bad, you do not like to ask for things, you use guilt to manipulate others to get what you want,  you are afraid to set any boundaries with others, and you normally attract people who make you feel guilty.

With a trust wound you are afraid of being hurt, you definitely do not trust yourself, you will go out of your way to find reasons to not trust someone else.  You feel very insecure and need alot of external validation.  You do not feel safe and usually attract other people who do not feel safe when with you either.

Neglect wounds cause a person to struggle to let things go, you have very low self-esteem and will get angry very easily.  This person will struggle to say "no".

They repress their emotions and fear being vulnerable.  They often attract others who do not appreciate them or make them feel seen...

Humiliation wounding is when a child has dealt with constant criticism and embarrassment.  Parents instill fear within them.

This leads to paranoia, despair and depression.

Having a childhood betrayal wound is caused by parents never keeping their promises to the child; so much inconsistency that leads to a difficuly in trusting people and forming healthy relationships.  They are always waiting for the next disappointment.

A child's deep-seated feelings of unfairness or imbalance within their early experiences is what is known as an injustice wound.  It arises when a child experiences unfair treatment, harsh discipline or being held to unrealistic standards.  An upbringing by parents who are cold and authoritative burden their children with a disrespectful educational style and most assuredly cause harm emotionally as well as psychologically.

These facts will help you get understanding on how adults have become the people they are.  Things experienced in their early formative years cause many wounds that can remain for a lifetime.

When we go inside ourselves and find strength within to pull these repressed memories to the surface, they can then be dealt with, healed and finally released to never harm our present reality.
