And I apologize for repeating that betrayal over and over by allowing other's words and deeds to tear down the vision you had of who God created you to be. YOU'RE BREAKING FREE NOW, it'll be okay. I'll protect you now. Reposted from @enneagrampaths One part of reparenting is apologizing to the little versions of you. He/she/they need to hear an adult validate their pain and legitimize their childhood wounds. Treating younger you with tenderness and respect will open up your heart to all the important information, feelings, and sensations your inner child holds so tightly. . Often, younger parts of yourself took on roles to protect you, roles that might have been too “grown up” for them at the time. Now there is distress and pain. Meeting these parts of you with love is key in healing. You want to be loved and so do your younger selves. . Reparenting isn’t about blaming our parents for our childhoods. It’s about seeing and acknowledging pain that occurred during our formative years and beyond. It’s about the us of right now (our adult selves) offering love and healing to any younger part of ourselves. Pain can come from parents, it can also come from school, camp, peers, teachers, siblings, other family members, dating relationships into teenage years, or life experiences. . 👉Follow @enneagrampaths for more Enneagram insights! . . . #enneagram #enneagram8 #enneagram8w9 #enneagram8w7 #enneagrameight #enneagramjourney #enneagram8women #selfdiscoveryjourney #enneagramcoach #millenneagram #enneagramtypes #enneagramtype8 #enneagramtypeeight #enneagrampaths #bodytriad #enneagrams #enneagramseries #innerchild #innerchildhealing (at Warrendale, Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAJBl1OLXL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
