But I'm feeling rather lost. Like my world has turned upside down. I thought I had a great childhood, now it seems that it was traumatic (and I didn't realize it). I thought that I was in touch with my inner self but now it seems that I'm not (and that my inner self is a child suffering from abandonment and low self-esteem issues). I can accept that to be the case, but what can I do about it? I survived, I did reasonably well with my life, I can't change the past.

The only clue I had was that I was depressed. I couldn't figure out why. So, I'm willing to try anything. Including inner child therapy.
