Hi there,

I've been working a lot on reconnecting with my 'Inner Child' - I had to give 'her' - myself up as a child because the environment I grew up in was too dangerous for her to be 'around'..

I'm still struggling to 'keep hold' of myself when my body does something I fear could be embarrassing.. I suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, so you can imagine that brings about way too many embarrassing situations on a continuous basis :P

I feel I just need to share that I have to believe in myself more, believe that I'm lovable no matter what! I truly believe this is the case, but when faced with situations where I never received support and acceptance growing up (basically, every time I'm dealing with people), it's hard not to let the old patterns take over and start substituting for what I think are my weaknesses..

I don't want to nor do I believe anymore that I have to be perfect - I just want to and need to believe and trust that I'm good enough as I am
