Inner Child: Can someone’s wounded inner child cause them to re-enact the past?

If someone were to take a look at your life, you can see that there is at least one area that is frustrating you. This area will not go their way and may have been for as long as they can remember.
​
They may want to find someone who is emotionally available, and yet they continually end up with people who are not. Because of what is going on in this area of ​​their life, it may be difficult for them to appreciate the areas of their life that are going well.

An insurmountable obstacle

Now, after spending time with someone like that, they may have expected the next person to be different. This will mean that they have not tried to do anything about what is going on.

If so, you can show that you believe that what happens in this area of ​​your life is out of your hands and that everything depends on luck. So, for some reason, they haven’t had much luck and they might wonder if their luck will ever change.

External comments

If they are like that, there is a very good chance that the people in your life also have the same perspective. These people might say that you just have to be patient and your life will soon change.

It may be easier for them to accept this if they are early in life, but if they are past this stage, it is likely to be much more difficult for them to do so. No matter what stage of their life they are in, they might do their best to stay positive and not get caught up in negativity.

another approach

Instead, one may have spent a lot of time, money, and energy trying to change this area of ​​their life. If this is the case, it could lead them to believe that they have no control over this area of ​​their life.

They will have been doing all the ‘right’ things, so arguably it won’t be a surprise if they feel like a helpless victim. If they ever come into contact with people who are close to each other, it might be hard for them to handle.

a closer look

When it comes to what they have done to try to change this area of ​​their life, there can be many things. For one thing, they may have put a lot of effort into their physical appearance to make themselves more attractive.

Also, they may have spent a lot of time researching and questioning what they believe, and have used positive thinking and different affirmations to change the way they see and feel about themselves. Ultimately, they will have done a lot, but have very little to show for it.

another experience

For someone to continuously experience the same debilitating experiences over and over again in one area of ​​their life will be challenging enough, but having more than one such area will be even worse. When someone is in this position, they may have mornings where they question whether getting out of bed is worth it.

In addition to having the same old relationship problems, they may not have been able to get very far in their career. They might make a certain amount of progress and, for no apparent reason, they might end up right back where they started or close to it.

groundhog day

So, no matter what is going on in someone’s life, they are going to continually experience situations, circumstances, and events that do not serve them. This will not only make them suffer, but it will also prevent them from growing and moving forward.

At this point, one might believe that there is nothing they can do; however, what if they have the power to change what is happening? However, in order to change what is happening, they may need to connect with what is happening in their body.

go deep

By connecting with this part of your being, you will be able to get in touch with your inner child. Although they will be adults, inside them will live the child they once were.

As this part of them will be in their body/unconscious mind, it will naturally have a great effect on how they feel and experience life. What is happening at this level, not the level of your conscious mind, will have the most control over your life.

repetition compulsion

Your inner child will be recreating what happened during your early years. The actors will be different, but the emotional experiences they will have will be similar to what they had so many years ago.

This part of them will recreate similar experiences so that you can finally receive what you could not receive all those years ago. It won’t matter that many, many years have passed since then, as this part of them has no sense of time.

The main problem

The problem is that since this part of them is making them recreate the past, it will also mean that, in general, they will find themselves in situations that will not allow them to solve what happened. For example, since the people they are attracted to are not available as their first caregivers, it will not be possible for them to figure out what happened.

As a result of what happened during their early years, they are likely to have many unmet childhood needs. In order to finally let go of what happened all those years ago and create a life that reflects who they are, they will need to mourn these unmet childhood needs.

Awareness

If one can relate to this and is ready to change their life, they may need to seek outside support. This is something that can be provided with the help of a therapist or healer.
