Yesterday I shared with my psychologist this post , we often talk about my inner child in my sessions. She gave me some home work to write a response from my healthy adult self. This is what I have come up with…..
Yes, It is true, it hasn’t been the childhood that you should of had.
So much has been taken from you and for that I am really sorry.
People that should of protected you didn’t, and others hurt you in ways that they shouldn’t of. I hear your screams and I see you when you feel like you can’t speak at all.
But none of the things that happened to you was your fault. Please hear that when i say that. It was not your fault. I know that that is really hard for you to understand and believe, but trust me when I say it. None of it was your fault.
Please don’t feel alone and scared anymore. I am here. I know that you shut down and go within, you disconnect, that that is your way of protecting yourself. I want you to know that I will protect you from now on. I have learnt things that you don’t know, I will always be here and I won’t let people hurt you like they have in the past.
There are so many people in this world that love and care about you. I know that is hard for you to hear and that perhaps you don’t want to believe it. But it’s true. It’s very true.
And you are not a mistake.
You are important.
You matter.
And You have so much value and worth.
You deserve to be cherished and seen for the beautiful treasure that you are. Just look at you. Your gorgeous vibrant red hair. The way you smile. I love how you are so kind and generous and how creative you are. You have a bravery and courage that runs so deep within who you are. I wish you didn’t have to have that bravery, but remember no one will hurt you again like they have in the past. You have so many people on your side.
You are so special and your future is beyond your wildest dreams, full of love and happiness just as you deserve.
