Summary
It's not a coincidence that you end up in a relationship with a narcissist. There are always patterns to this type of behaviour. So where does it all start? That’s what we are looking at today.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
- How unhealed inner child wounds manifest in our adult life
- Why it is wrong to leave babies to cry and fall asleep by themselves
- How our brain actually keeps us safe by keeping us stuck in the trauma response
- Where our inner feeling that the world is unsafe comes from
- How to heal and upgrade our inner operative system
What we have to look at here is deep inner child healing. When we heal and upgrade that inner child into your world today, we get a level of understanding, and when we heal that inner wound, we can change everything.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the narcissistic abuse recovery podcast. I'm Caroline Stawson and I'll be sharing with you |
| 0:09.2 | awareness, understanding and education about the devastating effects of narcissistic abuse to help you thrive. |
| 0:16.8 | I want you to know that I've been exactly where you are now and I believe you. |
| 0:21.4 | And this show is all about taking you from trauma to transformation. |
| 0:30.1 | I love talking about this topic and I could sit and talk about this for hours and hours. |
| 0:36.4 | And it was actually something I didn't really |
| 0:38.3 | understand when I initially started my healing journey because, hey, I was an adult and I should |
| 0:43.7 | know what I'm doing. I didn't realize that actually what I was feeling was very much deep |
| 0:48.9 | inner child wounds. And when I work with my clients, there is so much deep in a child healing that will occur. |
| 0:57.8 | Because it's not a coincidence that you end up in a relationship with a narcissist, whether that |
| 1:03.5 | comes from having a parent, that's a narcissist, because obviously you're born into that |
| 1:07.6 | family. And then indeed, attracting friends or being in a relationship |
| 1:11.6 | with a narcissist. There are always patterns to this type of behaviour. So we really have to look at |

| 1:28.1 | We have to go back. We have to go back and look at the series of timeline lines that led you to where you are today. |
| 1:37.4 | And this will go back to your childhood. Now, our childhood really is the blueprint for how we are going to behave and feel as adults. |
| 1:47.2 | So many of you listening right now will have an adult body, absolutely, but when you start |
| 1:53.0 | to feel these things, when you start to feel any anxiety or excessive anger or hurt or pain, |
