心理カウンセリング用語“インナーチャイルド”の
説明をしています。
インナーチャイルドとは何なのか、
インナーチャイルドはどう誕生するのか、などを英語で書いてあります。
一言で言うとインナーチャイルドとは、自分が成長する過程で(主に幼少期)、
不必要だと自分が判断し、切り捨てたり忘れようとした自分のことです。
Imagine there is someone inside of you.
He or she lives inside of your heart, but usually you are not aware of him/her.
In Psychotherapy term, it is called "Inner Child".
"Inner Child" is defined as the person when he/she is younger like a little kid,
but defined as a kid who is dumped or forbidden.
They are forgotten because this existance was somehow "unfavorable" in some scenes of their life.
Although Inner Child is thrown away, but it does not mean this little you is disappeared.
A little you is still there, inside of you while you grow up and still now, but just forgotten.
So the process that Inner Child, a little you, is born is;
while we grow up, something bad happens.
It could be that your parents scolded you or said something which was not on purpose,
but you hurted so much.
Then, you told yourself "I am very hurted, but I am the one who may be wrong.
If I keep being the same person, I might be able to get love and cere from my parents.
It is not good, so I will cut off my "bad" part".
I do not think this is a rare process, everyone can remember one or two things.
But this little you has a huge impact of our daily life.
I will tell you why in the next blog.
Bofore that, you can think of how this little you are forgotten but still live inside of you,
still feel sad and hurted.
