From what I can gather, everyone has Inner Children or child like ego states, but we all vary in how much control these inner states have over our lives. Am I understanding this correctly?
If so, that would mean that our T's have inner children too. Which, for me, is so hard to visualise because he's so professional and *adult* at work.
Have any of your T's talked about their own inner children? What they do to make them happy. How they talk to them. How they nurture them. How they quieten them down. How they control them.
If so, I'd love to hear about them.
PS today is T day. Thank you all for your help over the past few weeks. I'm just busting to go to my appointment with him. Do you think arriving 10 hours early is too much? :)

The first time i was in the hospital the pdoc had me read a book on our inner children. no, i have never had a therapist really go into detail abour their inner child. i think that would be sort of out of line. of course, i get uncomfortable with any talk about the therapist themselves.
anyway, i do believe that we have parts of us that remain from childhood. in my case, i think that it is a bit fractured. i have a part that wants to live and a part that wants to die. if i could just figure out why that part wants to die, i think that i would be all right. a bit heavy, but there it is.

My T has never referred to it as his inner child but has basically spoken of his inner child in hopes and dreams and choices he has made...How he needs alone time now and then and how he spends it...fears he has the baby he is when ill and what he wants to do as he ages ....but he doesnt say inner child term wise

at over $200 an hour if my T wants to talk about his inner child he'll have to pay me.

I don't think I'd want to know about my T's inner child. As it stands, any shred of info I do get from her, I obsess over a little too much. I love hearing it, but then I know I spend too much time thinking about it.

Is it more that we have more or less control over those inner children?
