Inner Child Work: Healing Shame and Fear

Counselor Carl (serenityonlinet...) explains how shame and fear act like a prison that keeps your True Self locked away in emotional isolation where you hide to prevent others from discovering what you believe about yourself, that you are unworthy and inadequate. Shame and fear form the core of the emotional world of the Wounded Child, causing depression, anxiety, stress, codependency, and fear of intimacy, which can lead to unfulfilling relationships, mindless compulsive behaviors, emotional isolation, a sense of emptiness, and even addiction. Healing begins with embracing your shame and fear through acceptance and nonjudgmental observation, which is called mindfulness. Counselor Carl's straight-forward teaching style makes complex concepts easy to understand. Counselor Carl is a licensed, professional counselor with 19 years of clinical experience both online and face-to-face.

Thank you so much. You changed my life, I was trapped in so much, pain, shame, fear, did not know it was a symptom of reacting to my dysfunctional family environment. I will forever be grateful to you for these videos, i understand myself better now and am starting to develop compassion for myself instead of hating myself as someone bad.

This really reminds me of Carl Jung’s self created term “shadow work”
@Serenityonlinetherapy
@Serenityonlinetherapy 4 года назад
Yes, Carl Jung led the way in teaching that we need to embrace all of ourselves, including the "shadow side" of things about ourselves we are uncomfortable with, repress, or reject, in order to become a whole person.

I had a very dominant father with his own issues and that led me to repress my "shadow" and It never became the healthy drive with all its features wich a grown man needs when dealing with all the challanges the world throw at us. i was always lacking something I felt.like a strong sense of self wich gives a person its "super ego" and a good functioning confidence. I never seen a therapist but I made my own therapy session at home with the right setting and a small dose of psycedelic mushrooms cos I saw all these videos here on utube of people having good results and benefited grately from just one trip. it was an interesting evening.trip lasted 4 hours and my mind went on a journey way back to my childhood and I relived some rough episodes of beeing mentally broken in pieces. It was seeing myself in a movie on tv and it was like and epiphany to why I am the way I am today. my mind startet stiring in the next weeks.it was like I had finally figured my self out. one afternoon I felt weird and kinda had some chills.had to sit down and relax and I felt this rush in my head and this emense force arised in me and I just knew instinctively that that was the subdued "shadow" that was getting integrated into my conciousness and I felt so mentally strong all of a sudden.like the other guys I know who have had that since they where teenagers. I was 39 when this happend and I got to feel what a healthy mind should be for a grown man. Ive seen lots of shadow work and inner child therapy vids and they make u dive into ur mind and fix and mend and reorganize the psyche in many similar ways as these psycedelics did for me. I know they are illegal in many countries but its a shame cos they can do wonders taken sensibly and with caution. I known for years I had this damn mental wire mess,this home made therapy sortet out things I thought I had to live for forever and Im so so happy its gone now :D

Thanks for the info Counselor Carl. I was dealing with a lady sometime ago who was dealing with (sadly not consciously) inner child issues. One of which related to constantly being let down by her single mother...always being told at the last min wont being going on a school trip, for example, when she was led to believe she would be allowed to. She was never told the reasons (shut down) and so had to repress her hurt and rage. In my relationship with her, our meetings never really happened. Finally she promised 100% (under NO pressure from me) that we would meet on a particular day. She not did not turn up but also sent me a text saying how much she loved me....and then promptly unfriended me from Facebook and blocked me...so I had no means of asking why or what happened. I linked this behavior back to the above incidents of childhood...her acting out was a real problem. She has since unblocked me from Facebook but I can't see any reason to contact her again. I'm not sure what she is expecting me to do. This situation left me furious and frustrated just as she was as a child.

Your story awoke something similar in me. It is good that you recognized it was her inner child behaving in that way, it sounds like reacting to herself and you what she experienced as a child by her mother.... Now I´m wondering if I´m doing something similar to myself when it comes to my own concerns, will I do this for myself or not and living in that dependent not really committing to a task or caretake of myself and seeing what happens how do I feel, is something else more appropriate or important to handle exactly as it was all the time growing up with my folks, or coming late. Thank you ever so much for putting this out here!! This may really have given me a clue to my own behavior which is quite stressful. For your friend, maybe she wants to meet but can't commit and it´s very upsetting for her to let you both down.

I suffered from a overprotective mother keeping me from socializing even if I was on my own at school she gave me shame and fear from her bipolar disorder and schizophrenic tendencies. My older brothers ridiculed me and made fun of me, making me lose my self confidence. I was sexually abused willingly and at times unwillingly since the age of 5 but ended til I was 14, yet I continue to degrade myself virtually with other men. I hope this video will help me.

Hi, Calista. My video explains some thing very clearly. However, you have a lot on your plate to grieve, process, and heal. I would try to get help with a therapist or support group if possible. One thing to consider: When you are a child there can be no "sexually abused willingly." You will a child so it was a crime. You were a child and a victim; the perpetrator was committing a felony. Best wishes in you healing and recovery.

Hi Carl, I've been searching for books, videos, and articles on the *wounded healer* which was described by Carl Jung but I was wondering if you knew anything about it. I ask because a family member has been in AA and therapy for over a decade and nothing has change for the better in her behavior. In fact, it's gotten worse with her mother and more distraught because she's getting a divorce. I tried to tell her that her many therapists failed in addressing her inner conflicts and wounded-ness because too many of them have not address their *own* wounded-ness. So how can she or anyone else seeking help, find a therapists who has legitimately addressed their own issues which would allow them to heal their clients?
@Serenityonlinetherapy
@Serenityonlinetherapy 5 лет назад
Wow, that is a difficult question to answer. There is truth is what you are saying. Many therapists come from a wounded background. When I worked with intern therapists that was the main issue I worked on with them, and in particular, any codependent programming they might bring into the therapy session. Why codependents? Because they, more than others, seek to distract themselves from their Wounded Child shame and fear by being the rescuer and fixer, which means they probably have unrealistic expectations about what they can and can't control, and about what they are and are not responsible for, which means they might have poor boundaries in their sessions, tie their worth to the successes and failures of their clients, and even become resentful of their clients for stressing them out. All therapists have issues; after all they are humans. So, you want to find a therapist who is at least mindful of their issues so they don't act them out in the therapy sessions. As far as how to find such a therapist, it really is looking at what might be available in terms of information about a therapist: their websites or videos, what friends may say about their therapist, directly asking questions of the therapist such as you just asked me, etc. Then, after your research, you pick one and see how it goes. Here is another point to keep in mind: if your family member has worked with one ineffective therapist after another, then it might not be the therapists. Rather, it could be that your family member is not yet ready to do the work.

I totally understand...that held me up too. My mom had read a diary and also notebooks that my friends and I shared (back in the day before cell phones!) and it made me more prone to self editing and not writing at all. You could get a lock box for a written journal. or the aforementioned ideas (if you want to go the technology route). Journaling is so, so powerful. I have had resistance to it too...but when I do it, it's so obvious I need it. It can help us access and release parts that just talking, thinking, don't do. As I heal, I care less and less about someone finding it and reading it. Why? Because of the increasing self acceptance and less shame about what any of those words mean about me as a person. If others have a judgmental or evaluative paradigm of me, and my humanness, that's more on them...than on me! It's freeing to move in that direction. I wish you well, journaling, healing and peace! 💫

@Serenityonlinetherapy
@Serenityonlinetherapy 2 года назад
Hi, Besty. The inner child is a metaphor for all the unhealed emotional wounds from childhood. As such, they mostly reside in the primitive fight-or-flight part of the brain, which is the lower brain . The highest part of the brain is the mid-prefrontal cortex, the site of mindfulness, which allows us to step back and observe our own brain. For example, if fight-or flight is triggered, our mindful brain (if we have developed it sufficiently) can step back and ask, "Is this a real threat or a false alar?" No other species has this ability to be mindful. For more on this, view my playlist of videos on Mindfulness. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/group/PL_wjG-62KkusrRNsHeH_E0x9dux8c6eBp

Gary Jones OMG. This is me and my husband exactly, except we've been married for 15 years, but I've been emotionally abusive for 14 of those years. Both to him and our kids. I have an abusive, narcissistic mother and lots of issues, and was behaving narcissistically in the marriage. My husband tried family therapy but it didn't work because I would get defensive and shame and criticize him. The thing that helped me see the problem was him leaving with the kids and no contact except messages and I could only speak to him and the kids publicly. I talk to the kids once a week for 2 hours. My husband is still not ready to talk to me. He demanded I get psychiatric help and said he won't come back until I'm on the road to real recovery. So I'm doing a psychiatrist and also online therapy which has actually been more helpful. And I watch videos and do cognitive exercises. But I could not see that my behavior and incessant neediness was the problem until I had a good three weeks alone, to feel pain, reflect on that pain and reflect on my behavior, and basically hit rock bottom. Still have a really long way to go, but I'm so thankful for making progress. I'm feeling better and learning so much, and don't feel like I need him desperately, like I used to. I hope we get back together, but right now I'm just focusing on healing and learning strategies and just being happy in my own skin. Hope things work out for you two. Your wife probably needs an enforced separation to actually gain perspective. And you need it too.

Syed Mazhar Not really. Sorry but that's just poetic cr*p and encourages him to be a victim. It's a disservice to the abuser. Whether we abuse or are abused, we need space and time to heal, take responsibility and re-establish boundaries. No point giving someone a gun to shoot you with, if they've already shown you that they're trigger happy.

If you suggest she has problems, she can't hear you..she'll go into self protective mode. Shame translates things into "I am the problem" "I am bad", and so on. That can be overwhelming to feel, deal with...so many people will defend against it. To approach someone with a core wound of shame, you have to tread so lightly...as anything can be taken as "you are defective", to them. No one reacts well to that...especially if that's their deepest hidden fear, even hidden from themselves. If you try to force a butterfly out of it's chrysalis, you'll harm it, it needs to do the hard work itself. It requires "holding space", patience & acceptance. There is a wonderful book on validation, "I Hear You" that may help. I know your comment is from years ago..and maybe you've gotten into a good pattern, but thought I'd comment anyways! Core wounds and subconscious programming take a lot of healing, layers, and the nervous system moves like a "turtle" (per my therapist). We can consciously "know" something, but it takes a long time for our nervous system to stop reacting. Emotional regulation techniques are key to building resilience and ability to even heal. If your wife would do things that are emotionally regulating, and you join and support her...it will do wonders for your relating. Even if you just do it, and don't suggest it to her...but live it out. That can sometimes be the best. We don't convince a dog at the shelter by rushing them...but by being available, gently, from a distance. Letting them approach, without pressure. Any pressure, and they retreat into self protection again. I wish you healing and connection 💫

Hi, Stephen. Fear is actually a helpful emotion, but out of control fear that is not grounded in present reality is like a cancer that eats away at one's quality of life.
