Am i the only one here who feel like there is a sad little girls trapped inside the adult body? I feel like a sad, neglected little girl trapped inside this adult body. That sad inner child always make me feeling very vulnerable, sad and overwhelmed inside, especially in therapy when i feel sad and lonely. I don't know how to nurture that little girl inside. I hate her. My therapist said that due to some trauma from my childhood, my emotional level get stuck at a child state. I don't know how to make her to grow up.

You should try nuturing that little girl instead of hating her

Hello, Koalabb123456!

While reading your post, a bit of self-recognition forced out a little smile. Oh yes, I'm aware of my "inner child," and it seems that kid has exercised a tremendous influence over my entire life. In hindsight, it's amazing how feelings and urges and interests developed in my earliest years have imposed themselves repeatedly. Sometimes I wonder if I ever grew up.

I don't know either, but at least you have something to explore. If you find a way to make her grow up, though, perhaps it would be good to ask yourself just how much growing up you want her to do. It may not be apparent now, but some of those "childish" things may have purpose and beauty.

You are not the only one. I definitely feel the same way and I have no idea how to heal the little girl.

No you are definately not the only one. My sad little girl just happens to manifest herself as an alter.

I suppose I do have an inner child. I had to grow up fast cause my parents put me in as the care taker of my brother and sisters, but I had to take care of there inner people as well. I also had to protect them from not only physical but mental abuse. I am a caretaker. I try to fix everybody elses problems. Now I find that..........how can I fix me.

I agree with the others. You have to take care of your inner self to become whole.
Thanks for this!
