Shannon's LTU5 Thread

[Have at ye]

When I say inner child it's because I am aware of two vert traumatic points in my life when I was 2 and 4 which seem to have crystallized as identifiable parts of my awareness as a result. It is also a generalization for my subconscious.

I would not say they are stuck, because the subconscious includes a record of all of your selves at every possible age as a normal part of its function and existence. What happens is that very traumatic experiences can crystallize as identifiable awareness within the flow of the record of all possible "you"s.  They fixate on the fear generated by the experience and stand out as a result.  They also influence you in situations where their level of fear and understanding gets triggered by something you are experiencing which they perceive as a threat that could lead to more of what they fear.

LTU5 has largely dealt with the situation that bothered my 2 year old self. It is also working on the 4 year old, but he is very stubborn at an instinctual level and it is taking time. I strongly suspect gf has the same thing going on.

Same here, even though I'm still running DMSI. It's digging. I am noticing that gradually the issues caused by early experiences are becoming more and more clear to me consciously as well as subconsciously (because the dreams related to these are becoming more and more lucid and understandable to me; they used to be totes bonkers).

Incidentally, I believe that when these deep child-consciousness fears become triggered to a serious extent, one usually starts acting in a regressive manner (as per daddy Freud; becoming more "childlike" in actions and emotions); so that also could be a clue for people as to what the particulars may be.
