Wounded Inner Child Quotes & Lyrics

"Quotes are everywhere because they work. They motivate, encourage, and inspire."

Melissa Eshleman

"It isn't about what's wrong with you. It's about what happened to you."

When we are searching for that spark of encouragement, a quote that resonates somewhere deep within us can be just the motivation we need to shift our perception of life. It can be the spark that ignites the courage to pursue a new direction in work, health, leisure Dave Farnham

"In the Depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer"

Albert Camus

"It isn't my past, it's my everyday."

Helen Wilson

"Quotations have made a positive difference in my life, in some cases they have changed the way I think about a situation." Catherine Pulsifier

"Trauma creates change you don't choose, healing is about creating change you do choose."

Michelle Rosenthall

A quote is a powerful tool for our mind, our soul, our spirit. A quote can sharpen your mind and give you an instant and rapid relief if your soul is down, in a dark time. Dotchamou Zakari

"Courage is the mastery of fear, not the absence of fear."

"Dead, but not allowed to die. Alive, but as good as dead."

Suzanne Collins

"Depression, suffering and anger are all part of being human."

Janet Fitch

"Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can."

Arthur Ashe

"Mental health is not a destination but a process."

Noam Spencer

The Sky is finally Open, the rain and wind stopped blowing, but you're stuck out in the same old storm again

Kacey Musgraves | Rainbow

If you could see what I see, you'd be blinded by the colors

Kacey Musgraves | Rainbow

Love who you love because you just get so many trips around the sun

Kacey Musgraves | Follow Your Arrow

I was left purple and green, one more lost lonely teen

Benee | Afterlife

I never thought I'd miss the small talk, I never knew the gift the day was

Brian Fallon | Forget Me Not

"Some things don't work but some things are meant to be"

But you walk past me like I wasn't there & just pretended like you didn't care

The Weeknd | Save Your Tears

I want to get lost with you

Jason Mraz | Let's See What the Night Can Do

Wherever I go, I'm already home

Jason Mraz | Living In The Moment

Love is kind & sweet as cherry pie

If you find yourself in a motivational dry spell, indulge yourself by binge reading the quotes until you feel the inspiration coming back.

Kent Rogerson

Old soul, waiting my turn, I know a few things but I still got a lot to learn

Kacey Musgraves | Slow Burn

Follow your arrow, wherever it goes

Kacey Musgraves | Follow Your Arrow

I'm alright with a slow burn, taking my time, let the world turn

Kacey Musgraves | Slow Burn

You're damned if you do & you're damned if you don't so you might as well just do whatever you want

Kacey Musgraves | Follow Your Arrow

I thought I might attempt to draw my feelings... my inner garbage, my deamons.... I'm not anything special as far as art goes. I know that. I likely never will be. That's fine. That's not why I draw. I mean... it would be nice if people liked it enough to want to pay me for it... but that's a pipedream and incredibly unlikely. I'm not sure what to do with this tbh... It was my attempt at doing my own shadow work. I'll probably be doing more of this kind of thing. Shadow work is necessary. I am a visual person, I need to see things in order for them to make sense. This is my start. #figuredrawing #innerchildhealing #innerchild #woundedinnerchild #shadowwork #visulization #artist #arttherapy #ihaveanxiety #ihaveadhd #ihaveptsd #ihaveptsditdoesnothaveme #iamstronger #weallstartsomewhere #selftaughtartist #itsallgutinstinct #healingart https://www.instagram.com/p/CU9X7OpLIj5/?utm_medium=tumblr

I didn’t know the term “gaslighting” until ~3 years ago. The first time I heard about it was in context to abusive romantic relationships, but as soon as I learned what it was it was like lightbulbs and bells went off in my head. 🚨 I finally had a term to explain my mother’s abuse. 💡 Growing up, I would try to talk to friends (and sometimes people I had just met😅) about the things my mom would say or do. How she’d say I could borrow a portable DVD player and then scream at me for using it because she never said I could. Or how she would hide food and water from me and if I asked about it she’d say “I don’t know.” or “We never had that.” Or how I’d describe a very specific memory (like being the flower girl in her wedding) and she’d say, “no you’re remembering it wrong.” (Oohhhh this one grinded my gears. Check out a post from August for the full story.) And in response I’d hear, “oh yeah, my mom’s such a bitch too.” Or “yeah all moms suck, right?” I didn’t feel like they actually understood. Not only did I have a term for her abuse but I had a definition and EXAMPLES of emotional manipulation. I didn’t know the things my mom used to say or do were a form of abuse—all I knew was that it made me feel like I was crazy, it rubbed me the wrong way, and that I was so fucking frustrated I couldn’t explain myself. And now I can. And I hope that this helps at least one person find the words. I hope the bells and whistles go off and the stars align. You are NOT crazy. You are NOT overreacting. You DO make sense. - - - - - - #gaslighting #gaslightingawareness #gaslight #gaslightingisabuse #littlebentnotbroken #reparenting #innerchild #innerchildwork #innerchildhealing #woundedinnerchild #innerchildhealingcoach #innerchildcoach #childhoodabuse #emotionalabuse #mentalabuse #abuserecoverycoach #narcissisticparents #emotionallyimmatureparents #selfhealing #selfhealers #healingjourney #healingmission #generationaltrauma #cyclebreakers #traumarecovery #motherwound #mentalhealthmatters #youmatter #youmakesense https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYthlcjg1N/?igshid=swbvwuzroche

BOOK DAY 65: People who have suffered trauma and abuse, regardless of the severity, will often respond in one of three ways: . 1) Continue the cycle by inflicting the same abuse on others. . 2) Enabling the cycle by doing nothing or embodying the "victim" mentality. . 3) Ending the cycle through conscious awareness and saying "NO MORE" thus, doing anything possible so that nobody have to go through the same again, including oneself. . Most of the traumas that we experience are inflicted on us by our fellow human beings who are unconscious of how deeply interconnected we are and that their actions affect themselves, others, and future generations. . I believe anyone can harness the courage to achieve healing through self-discovery and understanding oneself. I believe that you deserve all the happiness you can fathom. I believe that, together, we can make this happen. . I talk more about healing traumas, deepening conscious awareness and becoming a positive force for those around you, in my upcoming book, "In a Matter of Seconds". This book is my own next step in my personal journey of self healing and truly owning my responsibility to help others and make a positive impact on the world. . To your Healing. To your Happiness! .

Do you miss your childhood? Wish you were able to go back and re-experienced the best moments of your early life? Maybe you constantly find yourself thinking about days when life was free from worries, adult problems and all of this everyday stress… At times like that, you probably say to yourself, If only time travel were possible…

The first step in healing looks different for everyone, but what we all have in common is that there is that first step. For me, standing up after hitting rock bottom looked like admitting out loud to my doctor that I wanted to die. For others, standing up after hitting rock bottom could look like getting sober, deleting and blocking that person’s number, taking a risk and moving out/away, or just asking for help. Sometimes it could even be just taking a deep breath before standing up. *you also don’t have to hit rock bottom to heal* We all start somewhere. So wherever you are on your journey, just know that you’re not alone. Know that you are loved, you are seen, and you are heard, and your story matters. #healing #healingjourney #selfhealing #selfhealers #reparenting #innerchild #innerchildhealing #innerchildwork #woundedinnerchild #innerwork #selflove #selfcompassion #selfcare #selfawareness #consciousness #therapyiscool #cptsdrecovery #traumarecovery #mentalhealthmatters #depressionrecovery #anxietyrecovery #youmatter #abuserecovery #abuserecoverycoach #innerdialoguecoach #yourstorymatters #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthquotes #childhoodabuserecovery (at San Francisco Bay Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKro0Dij30c/?igshid=x34uwshf4115

Can we normalize grieving on the healing journey? Grief in healing could look like grieving the people you needed your parents to be. It could be grieving what did happen to you (trauma, abuse) or what didn’t happen to you (like having emotionally supportive parents, what fantasies you may need to release). It could look like holding your inner child and crying together. It could look like holding yourself where you are now and sitting with all the feelings. Sometimes the first step in healing doesn’t look like sunshine and rainbows and angels singing as you step into enlightenment. Sometimes it’s allowing yourself to grieve any and all aspects of your life. Giving yourself the safe space to grieve can be healing in and of itself. The first step in healing can look like dipping a toe, taking a baby step, a full step, a jump, a leap, free falling... But it starts with choosing to take that one step. #healing #healingjourney #selfhealing #selfhealers #reparenting #innerchild #innerchildhealing #innerchildwork #woundedinnerchild #innerwork #selflove #selfcompassion #selfcare #selfawareness #consciousness #griefjourney #normalizegrief #grieving #grievingprocess #griefrecovery #griefhealing #healingandgrieving #littlebentnotbroken #grieve (at San Francisco Bay Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKm0TjyDQhG/?igshid=1ees5saljk6gv

Yesterday we talked about deciding to respond differently. In part 3 of our “First Steps” series we’re talking about getting curious. And I think these two things are pretty well related in that when we decide we want to respond differently, we may also ask ourselves why we responded that way in the first place. Getting curious about why we are the way we are can be a great first step in discovering where some of our wounding came from. Or it may just raise our level of awareness about ourselves. I’d like to note that not everything we do, say, think, or feel is always related to a trauma. For instance, I think of oversharing. Yes, some of us may overshare because we were consistently misunderstood and dismissed in childhood. Some of us may overshare because that’s just our communication style. Whether is harmful or helpful is up to each individual… So, when we ask ourselves “Why am I the way that I am?” I want to remind you to ask this question with love, curiosity, and compassion. This question is not meant to shame. It’s not meant to ridicule or judge. It’s meant to allow ourselves to get curious and turn inward. Why do I get intense hot flashes of anxiety when my partner wants to sit down and talk? Why do I immediately start crying whenever I get frustrated that I’m not picking up a new skill right away? Why do owls scare the shit out of me? Why do I berate myself if my manager pulls me aside to talk about a mistake I made at work? Why am I so harsh on myself? Why am I so judgmental of others? Asking “why?” could be the first step someone takes in uncovering their wounds, in raising their self awareness, and in wanting to become a better person. The first step in healing can look like dipping a toe, taking a baby step, a full step, a jump, a leap, free falling... But it starts with choosing to take that one step. And handling ourselves with love and compassion as we uncover and discover more about ourselves. #healing #healingjourney #selfhealing #selfhealers #reparenting #innerchild #innerchildhealing #innerchildwork #woundedinnerchild #innerwork #selflove #selfcompassion #selfcare #selfawareness #consciousness #littlebentnotbroken #reparenting (at San Francisco Bay Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKkMFCdjNvC/?igshid=vpgvvnu7ssmv

this might be a hard pill to swallow, but it’s one I’ve had to remind myself over and over again. This isn’t to say people can’t change. This is just a reminder to release expectations and resentment. As I’m meeting myself where I am, I don’t shame myself for not being the highest or best version of myself. I don’t shame myself for falling into old habits or having coping mechanisms that I’ve tried to release for years (e.g. being glued to my phone because it’s a security blanket). And in turn, I think it’s important to extend that same compassion toward my parents, even when I sometimes feel like it’s not fair because they aren’t doing the same for me. But that’s not my problem—it is not my job to force them into people they are not, nor could become. I am meeting them where they are and respect their timeline. Maybe they’ll have their own breakthrough moments, like I did, but they’ll still never be the parents I needed—I no longer desire affectionate, empathetic, or compassionate parents because I have become that for myself. Would it be nice? Sure. But I don’t hold it against them that they’re not. I’m not really sure what I’m trying to say here. Maybe someone out there also needed this nudge to let go of fantasies, expectations, or resentment. This waiting game reminds me of the Heaven’s Reward Fallacy: a cognitive distortion that sacrificial behavior will be rewarded even when there’s no evidence a reward is coming. All of that to say: Believe patterns. Trust your intuition. Not everyone shares the same self awareness. There are some things people need to discover for themselves. Again, this is not to say some people cannot change. Some people have their breakthrough moments at 20, and others have those moments at 50, 60, 70, what have you. But is it in our best interest to wait around until then? I think it’s in our best interest to simply continue meeting people where they are. #littlebentnotbroken #reparenting #innerchild #innerchildwork #innerchildhealing #woundedinnerchild #motherwoundhealing #childhoodabuse #emotionalabuse #mentalabuse #narcissisticparents #emotionallyimmatureparents #cyclebreakers #traumarecovery (at San Francisco Bay Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXJesBji_k/?igshid=4h3lrmp5ueq9

On Sunday, @moon_maiden_healing_ and I had a great conversation about normalizing grief and all its many phases and forms. One thing she had said so beautifully is that grieving isn’t linear. And I’ve been ruminating on that for the last few days. Lately I’ve been getting caught up about why old wounds are being activated again and why I’m getting pissed off all over again that my parents couldn’t be the people that I needed. Because for some of us, grieving isn’t linear. We might be able to easily accept and acknowledge that our parents weren’t and will never be the people we needed. And THEN we might get pissed off about it. We might stay in the depression stage for a little bit while we re-learn how to love ourselves. One step at a time. I also want to remind us all that just because we accept that something happened to us doesn’t mean we need to just get over it. Just because we hit the acceptance “stage” doesn’t mean we’re done grieving or processing our emotions. It’s not about getting over the grief, but getting through it. And sometimes getting through is going through some phases over and over again because there’s another part of ourselves that needs attention and TLC. And sometimes grieving a whole era of our past is sufficient for a time, and sometimes specific parts of that era need to be grieved on its own. It’s okay to grieve the people your parents couldn’t be, the relationship dynamic you may never have with a parent, outgrowing past selves, or missed memories/what could’ve been. And so much more. As always, please handle yourself with love and kindness as you move through grief. If you want to rewatch our conversation, head over to the IGTV tab on my page! #littlebentnotbroken #reparenting #innerchild #innerchildwork #innerchildhealing #woundedinnerchild #motherwoundhealing #childhoodabuse #emotionalabuse #mentalabuse #narcissisticparents #emotionallyimmatureparents #selfhealing #selfhealers #healingjourney #healingmission #generationaltrauma #cyclebreakers #traumarecovery #motherwound #mentalhealthmatters #youmatter #cyclebreakers #intergenerationaltrauma #normalizegrief #griefinhealing #griefjourney (at San Francisco Bay Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJHghb7jISP/?igshid=16ta9etjrbigc

Today’s affirmations: I am worthy. I am enough. I am loved. I am loving. My ability to love is not derived from the love I did or did not receive. It’s easy to believe the thought that says “You are unloveable” when time and time again the people who are “supposed” to love you unconditionally don’t. A lot of my best friends have great relationships with their moms and it really sucked for me to see because that’s what I wanted. And I’m very lucky that a lot of these strong women accepted me as their second child (@lisaluehs, @kathyluehs, @xanaluehs, I love you all so much). It was easy for my brain to only accept the evidence that I am unloveable because it fit that core belief, that conditioned belief. When i was rejected or dumped or whatever, my brain would go “ah! Yes! See! Again! We were rejected so it’s true that we are unloveable.” It was, and still is, incredibly hard for me to accept compliments because they went completely against that core belief. I didn’t feel worthy of love because my own parents didn’t express love toward me—at least, not in a way I understood. I remember when I was growing up I can only ever remember my dad saying “I love you, my daughter.” But he showed no physical affection nor held emotional space for me. And now I’ve learned that my parents inability to express emotions or hold space was not my fault, was not because I was so hard to love. They simply didn’t have the capacity to. #littlebentnotbroken #reparenting #innerchild #innerchildwork #innerchildhealing #woundedinnerchild #motherwoundhealing #childhoodabuse #emotionalabuse #mentalabuse #narcissisticparents #emotionallyimmatureparents #selfhealing #selfhealers #healingjourney #healingmission #generationaltrauma #cyclebreakers #traumarecovery #motherwound #mentalhealthmatters #youmatter #cyclebreakers #intergenerationaltrauma (at San Francisco Bay Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIl9eKxj10B/?igshid=801oo79u5v9b
