Inner Child Therapy: Reparenting the Inner Child 

My chest is heaving and I'm fighting back tears. No one before ever told me that it is okay to admit the hurt inside. Thank you Dr. Carl.

I keep watching your videos over and over! The calm way you talk and explain so clearly is soo very helpful. Thank you very much counsellor Carl! :-)

I feel the inner child is the dependent part of us carrying around all the thoughts and feeling that we base on how we were treated. I know what I feel, how to feel healthy is unknown to me yet.

I have found counseling and group work taps into the most extreme emotion.

I literally watch the depression consoling one while crying but calmed down coz of ur calming voice u are the best and ever since I started I kept coming back to you Chanel may God bless you you've helped me alot

I’ve been watching so many videos on this topic I finally found somebody that is really connecting the dots and I like the way that you present this situation in a nice calm and understanding way it has completely put into perspective how deep my problems are and what I need to do about them… Thank you!!

Thank you so much, that video has really helped me understand why I react when confronted , I get upset & run away in certain situations.

Finally, I understood what “the inner child” means.. Thank you for explaining...

Thank you. I emailed an online therapist to work with me once and she wasn't taking any more clients. Because of my issues with trusting its hard for me to open myself up anyone so therapy hasn't worked very well with me in the past. . I do enjoy listening to your videos and will keep comments coming

Finally, I can understand what reparenting t h e Inner Child means. You calm demeanor is a blessing too. Thank you Counselor Carl

I have been going to ACA for almost 8 years and I can completely relate to the wounded Inner Child that you are talking about..

Thanks Carl for sharing information for others to access helping them in understanding their journey.

You were spot on, I feel extremely embarrassed about how debilitating the wounding is.

This is a amazing video.and thanks councillor carl

Thank you councillor Carl for showing this video to me and people how are suffering from depression . thus and more thank you

I am leading a therapy group session tomorrow for a school project and I found a lot of your information SO HELPFUL! I will be sure to cite you as a helpful resource. Thank you so much for placing this where people can get help. I look forward to watching many of your other videos very soon!

Thanks Counselor Carl. 💙💫✨

This is so beautiful it makes me cry. Thank you.

❤Thank you, Counselor Carl.🙏🏾

This is me right now. Severe abandonment trauma being triggered by husband going away in 3 weeks. I have no control in stopping him, I can’t stop myself being left completely alone l I’ve been in constant flashbacks for 5 days. I wish I could heal her instantly to feel better. It’s so huge and rW

This has helped me massively. So simple and makes sense - I've waited for 2 years for this, but now I get it. Thank you for your videos :-)

Excellent. Clear and straight-forard, and accurate, per my own experience. Kudos.

Jolly interesting Carl and very helpful in regard to 'anger-management problems, over-reaction, anxiety-depression, social-alienation etc etc - shared to Facebook & Google+

this helped me a lot... thank you so much.

Very good video. Thank you for doing this, it explains a lot to some that are wounded from childhood...Zuzanna

Life changing

Can you make these videos longer..? Thank you...

That's do true and here was me thinking I was had split personality any wonder I always got blamed since I was 3

Thank you

Thank you Counselor ! :)

Awesome stuff , thankyou sooooo much👍🙏🙏

what do you do when abusive spouse hurts you and your inner wounded child then says you are over reacting and crazy because of old stuff not what they are doing to you know via verbal mental emotional abuse and neglect? I have left him and took our kids with me but I still have to deal with him over finances etc and continue to feel paralyzed with fear guilt shame and powerlessness at even the thought of interacting with him. I feel physically sick and confused and panicked when his emails come in. I know part of it is my inner child and part is from 20 years of him compounding what my wounded inner child felt and believed. how can I be free from fearing him from him triggering the trauma in me? both childhood wounds and the ones he made are real

I feel desperate - emotionally almost unbearable. And I keep remembering the past and the many times my parents beat me and beat me and beat me. I scream for help.

Thank you so much.

Thanks. It was helpful.

Something I got to remember if me and I guess the person who is my ex try to argue if we get back together or if I argue with the person that I'm going to be with That it's kids fighting. That when the person is hurt it's off and not the current them but the little them.

an unhealed child self-sure but could there be a genetic factor here? I don't for the life of me see how I was ever abused or neglected. But maybe a genetic factor could be taken as the wound to overcome no different than a childhood neglect thing.

Hey, I have a question. Sometimes I wake up, say I don’t get enough sleep so I’m pretty restless. I start feeling a bit insecure than the day before where I was well rested, etc. I believe it’s like my self esteem affecting me, but then I start getting thoughts like I’m not good enough or not good enough to talk to this person and I get really shy and dwell down and don’t communicate at all. Then i start thinking if I did they wouldnt like me for how i am and id get rejected. It sucks and idk how to fix it, kinda makes me sad. I try reparenting and say that Im not a child anymore and dont have to live by these rules but the feelings kinda stay and the thoughts just come back later. It’s hard to see something different. Is this like a reparenting issue im not sure how to fix it.

Thank you for sharing

Thank you very much

thankyou counsellor carl I now know I have to heal my inner child myself as I was an abused child , but we me and my sister are free and left our old home , we are growing all the time , how do I start please if I may ask to heal the 10 yr old me and become whole ?

i was bully my bro no known about it or my family then they found ou bro tell me i are weak and that but in same time he beat that kid when he was older enough

Can you please help me healing my inner child, if thats the issue for all my relationships which are so fucked up that I or they don't want to see me, health is getting worst, brain function is also getting worst at work or anything in daily life, i only see hatred cheating disrespect, hurt and taken for granted behaviour.. i don't know how and what to heal properly ..

It was helpful but too short

⭐️💜🙏🏻

I did CAT and read about mindfulness, etc. After years of trying, it seems I cannot drop the hateful attitude to myself. No, I would never dream of saying the things I tell myself, to a friend, but I don't hate that friend. I do, however, hate myself. So all the reparenting I try to do amounts to a house of lies that crumbles down. I say "lies" because I hate myself and so the healing feels false; if not right then in the moment, then sometime later. Possibly weeks or months later. My hatefulness toward myself, although inherited, is my default position. For the life of me I can't seem to shake this default position. Repetition hasn't worked. In other words, I'm probably a lost cause.

Thanks for this. Too many knee jerk reactions going on. :)

Carl - is this TA therapy?

It is not about the inner child . Not knowing to have been unwanted.

Wish I could afford you. Desperate.

Thank you George Bush. :-)
