Inner child work isn’t for everyone. Luckily, there are many methodologies, like you mentioned. The main purpose of inner child work is to process the stuck emotions/ the stuck grief that left you emotionally stuck in whatever age the trauma happened. You’re not erasing anything, you’re acknowledging what happened and feeling the feelings that you originally shoved deep inside. This is how you reach the unmet developmental milestones.

There is. You can connect to that other part of yourself through inner child work. You then need to complete the developmental milestones that you missed. It’s very difficult work but it’s achievable.

Codependency is a bitch. But it’s never too late to start differentiating yourself.

That I come from a highly dysfunctional family and my entire personality is a reaction to them. I knew they were dysfunctional but I was in denial about their impact. Connecting with my true self had been a bitch.

Great question! I need to come back to this thread to see if something is suggested.

I ask chatgpt first. It usually gives me decent ideas to test out.

This is also why I stopped prepaying for things. Sure I’m spending $50 more a year but at least I have flexibility.

Can’t you open up a trust with the money and put a provision on it saving you from yourself?

Some also get hoopla.

E: apparently kanopy has been discontinued in nyc.

It depends on what communities you subscribe to. You’re not going to get much hostility in a gardening sub, but you will get it in political sub. With that said, my reddit score is very polite. Always has been. My secret is being aware of my emotions and not responding when I’m being egged.

No one knows when you entered college. You could have taken a year off between hs and college. No one will know that you had to retake classes either. You’re over thinking it. You’re not the last person to do it, you don’t know where everywhere else is at.

I used Skype a couple of times - I was talking to someone overseas. This was pre zoom. It’s interesting that they dropped the ball, they could have been zoom.

It’s helping me understand how I think so that I can create frameworks for learning, problem solving, decision making etc. I’m neurodivergent.

People are afraid to question their belief systems because it will create an identity crisis, and most people can’t psychologically deal with it. So it’s all self preservation.

Yup. We’re all susceptible to joining a cult. No one willingly joins a cult, their group slowly morphs into one.

You’re banned for inciting violence.

This isn’t even a theoretical question. We saw it live in the last us elections. Fox News, TikTok, WaPo etc. are owned by right wing media and sane washed trump. It was a group effort. You need to be suspicious not only of the internet but of tv and newspapers too. Old school media isn’t safe either. It never really was.

But I think the root cause is that people don’t have the time to really dig deep to get to the truth, and they want entertainment not be told about the doom and gloom of the actual future (like climate change, loss of the middle class etc).

It’s not even America first. It’s Trump and maybe the .00001% first and fuck everyone else.

Does that work in Firefox? Seems like I don’t have the ability to edit the address.
