Learning to Love our self - Inner Child Healing / Codependence Recovery
“Codependence is a dysfunctional defense system that was built in reaction to feeling unlovable and unworthy - because our parents were wounded codependents who didn’t know how to love themselves. We grew up in environments that were emotionally dishonest, Spiritually hostile, and shame based. Our relationship with ourselves (and all the different parts of our self: emotions, gender, spirit, etc.) got twisted and distorted in order to survive in our particular dysfunctional environment.” “We need to take the shame and judgment out of the process on a personal level. It is vitally important to stop listening and giving power to that critical place within us that tells us that we are bad and wrong and shameful. That “critical parent” voice in our head is the disease lying to us. . . . This healing is a long gradual process - the goal is progress, not perfection. What we are learning about is unconditional Love. Unconditional Love means no judgment, no shame.” “The critical parent voice keeps us from relaxing and enjoying life, and from loving our self. We need to own that we have the power to choose where to focus our mind. We can consciously start viewing ourselves from the “witness” perspective.”
On this page is an article about how to own our power to be a co-creator of our lives by changing our relationship with self through inner child healing.
