Inner child stuff

Posted by Tabitha on September 16, 2008, at 2:51:44

Hi,
I'm trying to do some work with how I relate to my uncomfortable feelings like sadness, fear, and loneliness. I never really know how to comfort myself when I have these feelings.
I know how to distract myself but I'm becoming aware my inner child feels ignored when I do that. It's like I have a crying child and hand her an ice cream every time. Maybe that's not the best parenting because her feelings aren't really heard.
So whenever I feel these upset feelings I'm trying to pay attention to them in a welcoming, compassionate way. And I try talking to them (this feels really awkward). In sessions we do chair work where I talk to my little girl, but I usually have a hard time figuring out what to say that would be comforting.
Is there anybody who has learned to do this kind of stuff?
