“Wounded children become wounded adults, and wounded adults can destroy themselves and possibly others.”

If a parallel universe exist, I just wished that the other me is physically and mentally healthy. She doesn’t deserved to feel what I feel.

"Not everyone is going to mistreat you." That sounds like something a person who wants me to become vulnerable and then mistreat me would say!

@1:15 Fear of abandonment @1:49 Inappropriate guilt @2:22 Trust issues @3:00 Fear of setting boundaries @3:34 Get angry easily @4:08 Trouble letting things go

The person with a plant on their head has experienced every single problem out there-

"You would rather be alone, than be abandoned" my soul cried when I heard that 🥺

Whenever I see a kid now, even a stranger, I always wish for that kid to grow up happily and be able to endure whatever he/she will be facing in the future. If only a child's innocence and happiness can remain forever.

I hope everyone knows that abandonment issues aren't always caused by people necessarily leaving. it could be caused by someone being there physically and never emotionally which left you trying harder to please them. that was me as a child. my parents were never there for me emotionally and i tried my hardest to please them thinking that they would completely cut off the little affection they showed me which affects to this day. i hope everyone becomes more educated on mental health issues and becomes happier.

1. 1:13 you fear abandonment 2. 1:48 you have inappropriate guilt 3. 2:20 you have trust issues 4. 2:58 you have a fear of setting boundaries 5. 3:33 you get angry easily 6. 4:07 you have trouble letting things go Edit: thank you for those likes! I never had so many!

Me: “ I had a good childhood so I don’t think I can relate. “ -Relates to most of the signs- “Wait what...?”

I have all of the signs, the fear of abandonment, inappropriate guilt, trust issues, fear of setting boundaries, anger issues, and refusal to let go. I already figured that I'd apply to most of these

I've got a lot of trauma from my childhood. I vowed when I became a parent, that I would not be like, or treat my children the way my parents did with me. I have 3 wonderful children who I love unconditionally. I've had therapy for trauma bonds that I had, and I'm stronger and happier because of it.

I felt like crying because, even if this is only a video, I felt like someone finally understood me

Who else is a part of the Wounded Inner Child Squad? Stay strong & positive fam!

I didn’t realise just how much of a mess I am until this past year. I retire this year and although I knew I was damaged, I didn’t realise just how much. One thing I can honestly say I am proud of is that my children have not been damaged. They tell me I was a great mum. I knew from very young that I would never hit, shout , abuse, or neglect, physically or emotionally. . My kids knew how much they were loved and still do.

I will always carry the trauma of my childhood with me and it still upsets me whenever I think about all the mistreatment I endured.

*”The truth is, not everyone is going to mistreat you”* Yes that is true, but thats the thing with trust issue. You dont know who is good and who is bad.

What was said: "Not everyone is going to mistreat you." My mind: Everyone is going to mistreat and manipulate you

When you know that you had a bad childhood but you can't remember it

I'm still a kid, but everyone either says I'm too mature, so I sometimes act more childish and almost basically regress and cry a lot at night when no one's watching. Then my mother says I'm too childish. When I used to sleep with my mom, when I cried, the next morning she'd berate me for it. To anyone out there experiencing similar feelings, please hold on! I hope your situation gets better soon :0)

I m such a wounded child, that I'm afraid to have children of my own in case I mess them up.. Thank you mom and dad! 🤘

I don't understand why people think you can only have a toxic childhood because of your parents. You could also have it because of the kinds of people you surrounded yourself with which would be your friends. Your 'friends' could have abused you emotionally or mentally maybe even physically. And you shut yourself away from the rest of the world and family because of it. You became distant, anxious, maybe even depressed because of your 'friends'. So the point I'm trying to make is that it's not only your parents that can influence and introduce a toxic childhood experience for an individual, it could very well be your own 'friends'. And I say this from experience.

spending time comforting my inner child and speaking with her is such a wholesome thing. and the fact is, i’m still very much a child. i have so much more to learn. i don’t need to rush anything. it’s okay to live in the present moment.

I always new my parents were "less than ideal," but the fact that they were able to make every mistake in the book is quite impressive.

When you already know that there's a wounded child in you, and you don't need any signs, but you still watch the video... Yeah..

Anyone else feel like they’re relating to a lot of these videos but have no idea what to do about it because you don’t know what caused it in the first place?

People think growing up and getting matured heals the childhood inner wounds...but they don't know we live with a wounded heart for the rest of our lives,the space is empty and remains empty forever.We as a child had been damaged forever and yes it impacts all relationships.

"you would rather be alone than be abandoned" my mind taking things out of context "friends dont need me i disappoint them🤡" me: "what?" my mind: "what?" **silently laughs in loneliness**

Is weird how everyone childhood is so different from one another.

It’s quite weird to know that everybody was once a child and thought and behaved like one, and it’s even weirder to realise that some adults still do

I had a childhood issue that I always saw as something rather silly and unimportant, but as I've grown up I'm slowly realizing that it actually affected me a lot more than I could have guessed.

To everyone doubting the facts: i am actually diagnosed with childhood trauma and i have a wounded child inside of me for sure. And all of these traits apply on me. Remember that it's okay to seek help if you need to! You are worthy of happiness 💞

"You have trouble letting things go" yeah that’s like my main personality trait

"Make peace with your past-self, aka: your inner child." - Psych2Go

V's "Inner child" is so realistic masterpiece that is based on real life experience. It's like a psychological treatment. Ps : for the ones who never heard of.

"you would rather be alone than be abandoned" "the truth is, not everyone is going to mistreat you" I...was not expecting that to hit so hard.

I really love the art of this one.

I’m here to watch this video as a: “Am I a wounded inner child”

i cried my eyes out as this video began. i’m already quite emotionally vulnerable right now due to my current circumstances but when she went through the video i realized i fit each criteria and cried even harder

This is one of those videos where I can't believe how seen I feel, and yet it hurts so much to feel exposed like this. I almost want to send this to some of my friends and say "look, this is me, please be patient." Thanks Psych2Go!

Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kidergarten. Then when you hit puberty they take te crayons away and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on agebra, history, ect. Being suddenly hit years later with the 'creative bug' is just a wee voice telling you, 'I'd like my crayons back, please.

Anytime I showed anger towards any of my family, I was made to feel guilty about it and now whenever I feel angry, I feel guilty about it and somehow making it my fault that I'm angry. I don't know what this means

“You would rather be alone than be abandoned.” Maybe THAT’S why I can’t keep friends.

The Inner Child stayed with me into my 60 yrs of life. I have experienced situations where I wanted to be able to truthfully express myself as a child /adult. In the adult's world of easy transition from child to adults norms...the adult with inner child issues will be seen as an outsider .

I looked at my black and white picture when I was 3 years old: all sad and confused. I instantly fell compassion towards myself, took the picture and was holding to my heart saying: "From today, I will never ever neglect you or abandon you. I will always love you and make sure, you will receive self-care regularly." 💗

”The truth is, not everyone is going to mistreat you” yeeeeeeah, no, i am sick of opening up to people only to get mistreated

Thank you psych2go.... I was able to relate so much with what you said... I finally realised the emotional baggage I still have and now I feel very light-hearted knowing that I'm not the only one with all these signs and problems...🥺😭

Who else feels like they can't lash out because the moment they do, everyone else will be thinking things like "what's wrong with them? They're overreacting" or "this person is so weak or annoying because they can't bottle up their feeling". The moment we lash out, everything changes

Hope who ever sees this has a good day 💕

"Holding on to a time when your needs weren't met." So THAT'S why I felt angry growing up. I'm beginning to understand.

I've seen a couple of these videos but this one genuinely made me burst out in tears. I hadn't cried in such a way in such a long time, It brought memories, dark memories. I hope that those few that read this know that they can break the cycle. Do what our parents could not, to use our pain and suffering caused by those that came before. As lessons to never repeat. ..Best of luck my friends❤️

Her voice gives me such beautiful peace and I feel understood by these videos. Finally! Thank you!

Damn my inner child wasn't wounded, It was murdered D: . I am working on moving forward tho.

I feel guilt at least once a day, For no reason, I don’t know why, but every little thing

Hearing your voice made all my inner child wounds heal T-T So beautiful! Loved this.

Every single one of these points are true for me and although, I was already aware that I had a dubious childhood, which affected me in the long run, it was by watching this video that I had gotten a better understanding of myself. Thank you very much.

Often, when I’m not feeling okay or having an episode, I really do feel like my inner child takes over. Like I’m 6 again, crying alone. And then I feel pathetic. I feel like I haven’t grown up. I’m 26. I know I have a lot of unresolved traumatic experiences from childhood. This video makes me feel seen. Thank you.

Her voice is sooo warm. It feels like a nice hug

This hit me hard and made things seem clearer. Thank you.

This hurts my heart. I've been a wounded child and that affected every aspect of my life. My inabilities to speak up and trust my judgement and make authoritive decisions make so much sense. What's difficult is knowing how emotionally stunted both parents are. Tried sharing my feelings once, it backfired horribly. They yelled a lot, and there was no reasoning or seeing that I was calm and not angry. I don't want to blame them for everything, as they were young and did the best they knew. We had love, but also outdated emotionally constipated traditions that suppressed us; anger was a sign of disrespect. It sucks, I have to go on knowing they'll never understand the damage I'm trying to unravel as an adult. And it's difficult. They love me and mean well, but they may never truly KNOW me 💔

Majority of us are battling with some sort of childhood trauma 😞

Through my childhood, my parents seem to lived with "if you're angry then you're the bad guy". So, I always feel guilty after expressing my anger even if the person I'm mad at is obviously at fault. Now, I hate expressing my feelings because nothing will change.

Thank you for the gentle and kind expression! This helps me hope that I can be healed...

I always got spanked for messy room, not finishing food, yelled at everyday if I wasn't 100%. Anyone else parents keep you at table till plate was finished but most times ended up barfing, I've always been a tiny person, I can't fit that much! I never threw a tantrum, I wasn't spoiled, I was over disciplined.

When it said "do your parents blame you a lot as a child?" I can't hold tears back

I'm crying rn. I didn't expect how much this video would convey my feelings.

THANK YOU. because of you im learning about myself, and i can study and do thingsz and listen coz your voice is so calming.

Dear mother, Memories of childhood are beginning to fade. But I remember beautiful laughter, the wet grass , and the ladybugs we’d catch and play with together. I thought I was on top of the world, even after the abuse. I would forget the marks you left on me , at moments like those. The memories of you screaming , hands around my throat become clear on days my mind is a mess. The cries of my younger brother still haunt me . But when it pours , your cries and screams fade into the background and then I am young again. You hold me close to you, so close I can hear your heart beating. Your scent makes me feel at home. And it pours and pours , and the image of your hair on fire and shattered glass on the floor blend with the beautiful memories, until my mind becomes hazy and I am unable to think straight. It becomes so blurry that I can’t distinguish between the good and bad memories. It continues to pour . I still remember how I would imagine myself in a complete different family, with a present father, loving siblings and a mother who’d cook a delicious meal, especially on days you’d scream and shout , threaten to leave or kill yourself. Why would you expect so much from a seven year old ? It makes me ache , and I wake up in pain in the middle of the night, embracing myself. The memories won’t leave me alone . It pours and it pours It simply won’t stop pouring.

... who else’s wounded inner child has become an independent spirit

Amazing how on point this is. Preciously on the nose.

I have all six signs that are mentioned in this video. This is a wonderful and useful video to understand our childhood trauma and how to get over it. Thanks for making this video.

My inner child is definitely hurting still. I’m still trying to unpack my childhood trauma and realizing how bad things really were. I was hurt, lied to, mistreated, shamed, grieving and abandoned at 12. I’m still carrying the weight of it 2 decades later. Nothing was truly resolved and I never knew how to cope and move on. I really want to move on emotionally 😔

My inner child isn't dead... it's bleeding out on the floor, begging to be put out of its misery.

Love the voiceover it's so soothing like ASMR with the pastel colours in animations ☕

This hurt more than I had anticipated. It's sad that sometimes parents, even though really good, fail to realise the impact their actions can have over a child's psyche. I was largely ignored because I was the smart kid who will find her way out of situations. And yes I die, but the hard way. I wish, my parents could see how I wish I had them to shield me like they shielded my sisters. As an adult in my 40s now, it breaks my heart to realise how badly things that happened in my childhood have left me struggling with major abandonment issues. I am so scared of being abandoned and lonely that I have now chosen to be on my own than let someone leave me. My fear of being abandoned is so severe that as much as I want love, I have now given up on it and instead settled for some peace and stability for the rest of my life. I used to be a very happy, bright and spirited child and it seems I got punished for being what I really was.

i’ve always been weirdly attached to things from my childhood, it feels like someone took my innocence and safety away but i dont remember having any sort of traumatic experience, but having all the symptoms in this video do be making me cry

I just realized how many things I supressed from my childhood up to my adulthood. What's sad is that, I have lost so many people that could've been life-long friends of mine but pushed them away...

Her voice is so beautifully soothing to my ears that I just can't help but feel better just by listening to her.

This was one of the most beautiful videos I've watched. Loved the art 🎨 💕 On another note: yeah I connected with all of that, but it's helping me to be a better mom to my little girl so hopefully she doesn't experience the same from me. Be strong and in tune with yourselves friends 💜

My inner wounded child rn be like Why do u need to expose me like that huh

Every time I’ve ever caught feelings for someone their “inner child” vibe is the same as friends I had when I was little but I don’t realize until later on

Your voice is so extremely soothing... !! Thank you for that video! xxx

You have helped me so much thank you. I've listen to many of your videos I am in a huge spiritual and personal journey. For the first time in my entire life I'm finally working on me. There have been so many discoveries and realizations thanks to your videos keep up the great work thanks

''Sometimes your mind is the biggest enemy withing yourself''

Psych2go loves reading my mind... I was just thinking about my inner child

I’m bawling my eyes out watching your videos. I finally feel understood. ❤️

Im so happy I found this channel. I'm literally so grateful for ur videos

After every time i watch psych2go. I tell myself... "I need to see a doctor"

Omg! The animation in it is even more cute and beautiful. As, it's a child with a leaf on his head 🥺💜

I messed up so many relationships, of all kinds, because of this. I used to have terrible trust issues. They were so bad that I couldn't see the endless stream of love I had received from people. I treated them like they had betrayed me, even though they bent over backwards to help me. The fear of abandonment and trust issues are absolutely horrible to go through... thanks to videos like these, I learned more about myself, and I realized why I was the way I was. I realized that I had abandoned too many good people, just so they couldn't abandon me first. From that day forward I swore to change. I still have that fear of abandonment... I'm 18 and scared to move away, even though I want to so badly. But, when it comes to relationships, I've conquered my fears. And it's all thanks to videos like these. Thank you.

To all the genuine and kind, true companions out there that I had growing up. I'm deeply deeply sorry for pushing you away. Everyone looked the same to me through fear and being wounded over and over again.

It felt like, "finally, someone understood's me" and I'm crying real hard.

I believe the saying goes: "im in this video and i dont like it"

Every single one of these to an extreme. I have a feeling it will take me my whole life to heal, but I’m working on healing one step at a time one day at a time.

I sometimes fear that I will hurt my children the same way my parents hurt me. But I'm lucky that my boyfriend is very kind and sweet with me. He understands me more than anyone. Even if I push him away. He still comes back and he comforts me. He tells me that he's going to make sure that I don't end up as abusive as my parents.

Omg can we just appreciate the art for a moment.. it’s sooo cuteee!!

you're voice is so calming and relaxing tbh

THE ART IS SO BEAUTIFUL OH MY GODDD

Thank you for making me feel seen there's times that I fear people will leave me and I always have this flashback of me at home when I was around 6-7 in my house alone, crying.. or when I was a bit older and the people I learned to trust and love abandoned me I just wish I could heal from all this trauma
