1. Your Inner Child

Your Inner Child is the part of you that has all of your feelings, your personality, your creativity and playfulness.  Your Inner Child is your essence and your spirit.  This is who you truly are in your core and you never lose this part of you (although you may hide your Inner Child away).

2. Your Wounded Self

Your Wounded Self is another child part of you that you learned to be and created in order to get through childhood. Today when you act and react in unloving ways to yourself and others, you have abandoned yourself and given control to your Wounded Self. Your Wounded Self has false beliefs such as believing you’re not worthy, that others are responsible for making you happy and you are responsible for others’ feelings and behaviors.

3. Your Loving Adult

Your Loving Adult is your mature adult self which is responsible, open,  accepting, encouraging, forgiving, compassionate, understanding and considerate. Your Loving Adult is willing to feel and manage your core feelings of loneliness, helplessness and heartbreak rather than avoid these natural feelings with various protections such as getting defensive, shutting down, feeling resentful, drinking, acting out addictively and trying to control your partner. Your Loving Adult identifies what’s in your highest good and then takes loving actions so that you feel higher self-worth.

4. Your Higher Guidance

Your Higher Guidance is your source of truth, compassion and unconditional love. This can be an external and/or an internal source of guidance who only wants what’s in your highest good. Only your Loving Adult can access your Higher Guidance, bring through compassion, identify the truth about your false beliefs and then take loving actions for yourself so that you live in truth and feel fulfilled, joyful and peacful.
