Hey,

I find Inner child work hard to do because basically I feel like I am the inner child a lot of the time so I am just basically talking to myself now! But when T says I have to take care of this part of myself and parent her myself I feel angry because I spent my whole life being there for others and now that i need someone to take care of me I am being told "take care of yourself" - so I struggle to make a connection.

the idea that your inner child doesn't want to talk to you does usually mean that she doesn't trust you yet not to be like everyone else and either not believe her, hurt her, abandon her or whatever happened to hurt her in the first place.
