Child-self in a war with Adult-self

Hello, I have a friend who has this issue, and I want to understand more about it. I figured this would be the proper place to ask about such a thing.
Does anyone experience this?
How could you describe it for me, like how it makes you feel, how it affects your social life, etc.
and what steps are you taking to get through this? I need you to be specific, like specific things you are doing to battle it.
Thank you!

Reminds me of Transactional analysis.

Yes: I think so.

I think it is about bringing your adult self, out at the right time and your child self out at the right time.
