I hope you know that when I here the phrase "inner child" I don't get an image of a toddler-me happily jumping around and being forthcoming. It's of the shicklessly scared toddler, "warm"ly enveloped in the certainity of fear and one (in short) bizzare sense of self.
It's a stupid thought but if I were to embrace "my inner child" I have this nightmarish thought that I'd be convolusing on the floor like I was having an epiletic fit screaming and talking to myself--it'd be a big emotional *regression* is what I mean to say. I'm afraid of that*. I hate that part of myself b/c of all the "lost years" spent in that state and how me and society says it's a b.s. waste of time to try to "make contact" with that part of myself at this stage. Unskilled I am.
*VERY* few ppl know just wtf that this (the idea of inner child). Another cop-out trite saying which p.o's is "it's all in your head","it's all in your mind"----''=_= of course you dimwit.Care to (expletive adjective) *VERIFY* that ?! >:( .
* it's not like I have had to have been a child soldier to feel that way.

This is an atttitude I will change.
