The Deprived Child • Wounded Child Archetypes

 A wounded child archetype is a set of traits and behaviours acquired in childhood from parental or cultural conditioning that falsely defined who you truly are.

False Identities to Release

🗝 I am poor

🗝 I lack

🗝 I am deprived

SYMPTOMS + PERPETUATING BEHAVIORS

Do you recognize these symptoms or behaviors that perpetuate the wound?

🌀  Carry the false belief that it’s evil to have (money, love, joy, pleasure), that I need to be poor to be good.

🌀  Chronically borrow against my own well being by over-working and under-earning.

🌀  Crushed under the weight of scarcity, with never enough time, money, opportunities, support, love to go around.

🌀  Often feel depleted, trying to keep afloat and/or care for others at my own expense.

🌀  Live as though watching through a window at all the goodness of Life, just beyond my reach and abilities.

🌀  Lack systems that create evergreen prosperity, security and stability in my life.

🌀  Stuck or fall back in survival mode, never able to fully thrive and be happy.  

Integration Practices

If you do recognize yourself in these archetypes, here are some practices to maturate and integrate that wounded child.

🌹 Expand my capacity for joy, play, receiving, nourishment, fun, pleasure, and peace.

🌹 Prioritize and allocate time / money / resources to my own well being, before giving any away.

🌹 Learn and master the art of sufficiency to prevent a spiral of despair at the “lack” of abundance.
