Now I don’t know if I am right in my own personal way of understanding an inner child. However for myself I was lead to believe I reverted back to an inner child state of mind to help me cope with what I was going through, it was what my brain naturally done. However this didn’t help because I was acting in a way that might have help a scared me on playground when younger but I was acting like a complete little brat when I was trying to complete my last years of high school and that was causing many troubles for me and people around me.
I think that your brain finds or links back to a past behaviour coping mechanisms you once used because what’s happening now triggers you to go back and react as you once did because the situation you are in now relates in some way to how you were back then. Also I was lead to believe your brain finds it easier to do this then to confront what you are going through now, almost as a safety net. Metaphorically it’s like a parent’s protection they are trying to help but sometimes they can’t because they are only helping from a parent’s prospective. Your brain repeats the behaviour or thoughts or feelings naturally unaware it’s not helpful to you anymore. However this is just another personal view on it. Only you in time will see what an inner child will mean for you. Hope this may help you and wish you all the best.
