Imagining Your Inner Child

There is one amazing thing you can do that will change the way you feel within hours. When you feel depressed, close your eyes so that you can see the child in you. If you have trouble getting that vision, then gets a photograph of yourself as a child. As you see your child, pay attention to your feelings. They may be turbulent and vigorous.

Go to your child and, if she will allow you to, pick her up. Take her into your arms and soothe her with the voice of your loving parent. Become a therapist to the child by imagining what a therapist would say to the child. Talk her out of what-ever is troubling her. Tell her that everything is going to be OK. Explain that she is reacting to something that is imaginary and that no harm is going to come to her. Find the antidote to her anxiety and give practical examples of how her worst fear is unfounded. Use your adult reasoning to bring this information to her. Take as long as you need until your feelings change.

This is all you have to do to feel immediate results. With practice you will find yourself doing this exercise regularly. You will feel some comfort usually within minutes. If you are consistent, you will find comfort on a regular basis. We are speaking to the core of ourselves. This is the way we can work through our depression from the inside out. If we post notes around our house to remind ourselves to do this whenever we need to, we will remember to do it more often. If we live with others and would be embarrassed by this exercise, then we write something in code, draw a picture or put it only where we can see it. The more often we do this, the better we will feel. We will become increasingly proficient at this technique until we are doing it on the bus, in the car and eventually when we are conversing with others. It will help us to respond more to the world as an Adult and less as a threatened child. We can restore confidence to ourselves and we will learn how to reconcile things that worry us.

It is a little piece of magic and people who do this live in a state of joy. They rarely allow 'stuff' to affect them. They don't get depressed and they don't live their life through others' values. They live life in a state of feeling powerful, without wishing to abuse others, in control and full of fun. They have great respect for themselves and, in turn, they have great respect for everyone else. This is how we reclaim our life.
