To break free from negative cycles, the first thing we need to do is learn to accept the wounded child within and gradually heal it.

Avoiding emotional wounds.

Robert Jackman, a renowned psychotherapist, has spent countless hours researching and helping numerous people heal the wounded inner children within them.

During this process, he noticed that most people were unconsciously avoiding their own wounds.

Many people believe they were perfectly fine with a normal childhood, without many major events. However, this very mindset allows past trauma to continue to linger and manifest itself through impulsive reactions or exaggerated emotional responses.

In many cases, manifestations of psychological distress have not been properly recognized, with some even labeling them as "impulse behavior" or "impacting work productivity"...

According to Robert Jackman, through self-defense mechanisms, humans soothe or pretend to have forgotten past traumas.

However, we keep falling into a cycle of tragedy; we keep blaming ourselves. These are signs of unhealed emotional wounds.

We all know that avoidance is never an effective way to solve a problem.

To put an end to this situation, the first thing you need to do is confront and acknowledge the emotional wounds that have been haunting you. If you are patient and open-minded, positive changes will come.

As Robert Jackman wrote: "The healing process looks beyond the flawed parts of you to reveal the wonderful parts of you."

Learn how to reveal your best qualities.

In his book, *Healing the Inner Wounded Child* , author Robert Jackman suggests several useful tools that can be applied immediately to self-heal: reflecting on childhood events, writing letters to communicate between the adult and wounded sides of the body, connecting current impulsive reactions to past causes, establishing healthy boundaries, and more.

Through exercises and stories of people who have been healed, Robert Jackman will help you heal and release the erroneous patterns stemming from past wounds.

Compared to changing others, changing yourself is always easier, more effective, and less painful.

Changing ourselves gives us control over choosing our training methods and time, and it yields more lasting results because we are well-prepared if we have to face someone else in a similar situation.

Overall, the journey of healing your inner child will take a great deal of your time and effort. At times, the process will also evoke countless indescribable feelings of sadness.

However, once you've gone through the healing process, your emotional wounds will begin to merge with a responsible, mature side, and you'll no longer feel ignored or lost.

From there, the best, most wonderful parts of you will begin to emerge. You will have become a conscious creator of your own world , rather than reacting to life impulsively.
