Amanda, I am with you in this hard moment of getting pulled to abandon myself rather than feel the icky, uncomfortable, scary stuff that's coming up. The way I see it, my inner child is screaming for validation, recognition, being seen! She wants attention and there is no way around giving it. Maybe I am not too busy and I can take time to play this afternoon instead of work, work, work. There's nothing to prove, nowhere I need to get to, except comfortable in my own skin again. This is coming up, not to make my life difficult, but for me to heal. Sending you best wishes!

Thank you Judith, for sharing your insight and your own internal experience. It's nice to feel less alone in this type of challenging emotional space.
