The Freak Child • Wounded Child Archetypes

SYMPTOMS + PERPETUATING BEHAVIORS

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

🌀  Feel like the black sheep of the family, never really fitting in anywhere, and longing for true belonging.

🌀  Carry heavy false belief that life is lonely, unkind or not made for people like me.

🌀  Suffer from severe self-doubt and/or self-hatred due to lack of loving recognition, by self and/or others, of my unique gifts.

🌀  Chronically feel unwelcomed and/or left out, as if my person is not wanted/valued.

🌀  Fail to create supportive structures to channel my gifts in highly profitable, valuable and impactful ways.

🌀  Unable to see my gifts and/or withhold them, as if they don’t matter to the world.

🌀  Wait for others to invite or include me, rather than initiate my own participation.

Integration Practices
