It has been over twenty years since I "discovered" the source cause of my own negative beliefs and dysfunctions. They became embedded in my mind and are indelibly a part of me. Using every tool available, I have been able to partially reconstruct my once positive mindset. The damaged child that I left behind long ago has now found his proper place within my being. Even a partially healed adult mind can offer new insight and relief to a once forlorn inner child. The first step toward healing is to bravely ask ourselves - our inner child - how we feel about ourselves.  How our inner child feels about itself is the key to begin to understand and correct a self-hatred mindset.
