The Wounded Inner Child: Healing Trauma and Codependency

people have done the most horrific crimes. And I was shocked to see that they're just an innocent child so broken. And it really, really spoke to me. I think the deepest lesson I learned, especially in the rehab, when I would be working with people that were like uh you know, the the most horrific people have done the most horrific crimes. And I was shocked to see that they're just an innocent child so broken. And it really, really spoke to me. But I'm what I am saying is that every single person that I've been able to work with and thousands of people over 7 years um in in in the rehab setting I found the same exact thing in every single one of them is that when we went through this work to their child, it was just a wounded child. Literally. The way I kind of like to explain codependency, if we take a step back, so we didn't talk about it yet, but when a child is experiencing overwhelm right? Something that is too much for them, too much pain. So, part of our survival that we've been gifted with is the ability to disassociate.
