Child Within Journal – that is, writing down the truth of our feelings, our point of view, our fears, our angers

Child Within Journal – that is, writing down the truth of our feelings, our point of view, our fears, our angers, our hopes, our expectations, our desires, our fantasies, our hatreds, our regrets, our thoughts, our memories, our prejudices, our secret loves, our painful experiences, our humiliations, our past traumas – requires deep intimacy with our child within. This self-intimacy is the essence of our recovery, and yet is also what makes recovery so difficult. Many of us find it difficult to journal – or journal in a deep and prolonged way – because of the strange feelings of being so emotionally intimate with our child within. But if we can tolerate the potential discomfort, if we can sit with the truth of who we really are and look at our truth expressed on the page in front of us, then we can nurture a wonderful relationship with our greatest ally: your own true self as the child within!
