The Unsafe 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 not safe

🗝 I am unprotected

🗝 I am unsafe

SYMPTOMS + PERPETUATING BEHAVIORS

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

🌀  Suffer from hyper-vigilance, always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

🌀  Overly naïve, trusting, and disclosing of intimate details before others have earned my trust, thus attracting narcissists, sociopaths and/or con artists who take advantage of my openness.

🌀  Take a lot of uncalculated risks, living close to the edge, with few safety nets.

🌀  Enmesh too quickly in intimate relationships, without taking time to know others or set wholesome boundaries.

🌀  Perceive much of what others say / do as threatening to my safety, even my life.

🌀  Unknowingly push others away, suspecting their motives and/or looking for ill intent

Integration Practices

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

🌹 Generate and source safety within my relationships with myself, in order to trust my ability to assert boundaries, ask for clarity, make valid and compelling requests, and create safety nets.

🌹 Generate and source safety within my spiritual relationships with the Universe.

🌹 Take time to discern and trust people/situations before diving all in and only after they have repeatedly demonstrated their trustworthiness.
