Some basic thoughts on "inner-child" psychology

Here are a few thoughts on "inner-child" psychology before I go out and pick up trash here in the Rooster Rock State Park. We're volunteer hosts so part of our job here is getting the park ready for the weekend rush.

I am pulling my thoughts together on inner-child in preparation for the early chapters of the book I'm writing on Primitive Ego Psychology: Healing The Primitive Ego of Our Wounded Inner Child. I'm not sure that will be the final title, but it will be close.

Ok, got to run....here's what I'm working on today for the book.....

"When our basic developmental needs are not met in early childhood...eg. unconditional love, listening, affirmation...we assume there is something basically wrong with us. We personalize it and feel ashamed that we are not good enough. We hide our true self and create a false self...the self we think we "should" be. The result is our wounded inner-child experiences sadness, isolation and loneliness." (www.stonyhill.com)
