Did this for the first time today...what does it mean when your "inner child" doesn't care enough to speak to you?

I think the adult needs to take the first step.

Give the little one time. She'll talk when she's ready. Just keep having the patient adult standing by, ready to listen

Hate the idea of having an inner child so mine is silent. Most of the time...

Richard Bach (wrote Jonathan Livington Seagull) had that problem in his book, Running from Safety. I believe his inner child was really really pissed when he broke down the door to the room he'd stuffed the kid away in so many years before?

It means ur inner child is scared to come out and doesnt trust u ( the inner parent) quiet yet,. give it time, she will come around, just keep allowing her to come out and tell her story.

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. xxx

Damn, forgot what I was going to say...
I remember just being stared at. Maybe it was outfit; I always hated it but it always comes to mind when I think of my early childhood... |

It was that child self who hated it; remember what that felt like and commiserate with yourself as you were then and promise yourself you'll be there if it ever happens again and the two of you will manage it so it doesn't come out feeling so badly.
