Turning 40 was a milestone for me, a time where I found myself sad, unfulfilled and confused. I was not sure what was going on with me mentally. I was making major mistakes at a job that I thought I loved. I started to look back into my past and wonder what was I holding onto that was keeping me from understanding my purpose. I realized I was choosing the wrong intimate partners due to attachment issues of abandonment from dad and codependency because of emotional incest with mom, terms that I learned from graduate research.
I realized that I needed to explore those feelings. I worked through my challenges with feeling unloved and abandoned by my father and learned how to forgive him. I also worked through childhood abuse from both parents; as well as emotional and financial abuse as a teenager from my mother. Inner Child Healing work was what helped the most with moving forward and finding peace in how the past shaped my values and character today.
During the work of healing my inner child I noticed each situation influenced me, although with negative experiences, but with positive and powerful impact. Such as being locked in a closet as a young child as punishment. I found safety in the closet. To this day I find sitting in a closet grounds me.
