Heal The Abuse - Recover Your Life - Plot & Excerpts
-Jason Goodwin A few years ago, I experienced a relationship that really brought out the abused inner child within me. The woman I was with reminded me of my abusers. She was cold and distant. She treated me like a child, and I began to act like one. I found myself feeling needy and afraid of abandonment. How could this be, I thought? I was a fully-grown adult. Why was this happening and why was I feeling so much pain? I used to have a hard time believing that there was a part of myself, childlike in nature, that still felt the pain of the abuse. It sounded strange to me or weird, like some sort of therapeutic nonsense. But it is a mistake to believe that we could have responded to abuse that occurred in our childhood with all the logic and understanding of an adult. If we were children when we were abused, the logic we used to understand the abuse was childlike. Children often respond to events in their lives with emotion rather than logic. They believe that they are to blame for whatever happens to them, because they think they are the center of the universe.
