Podcasts about outer child

Join Sam, Ellie, and special guest Susan Anderson as they explore inner and outer child dynamics, the path to authentic self-love, and overcoming abandonment issues.

In this episode, we have the very cool Andrea Ashley! We talk about what it means to be an adult child and how she realized she was one. She also talks about the concept of the inner child and the outer child and how separating the two parts of you is important. We also talk about how she has identified her inner child's messages and stopped and felt them. Here are some key takeaways from the episode: Adult children are people who respond to life with self-doubt, self-blame, and a sense of being wrong or inferior. Abandonment is a profound enough trauma to siphon off self-esteem. It is important to separate the inner child from the outer child. The inner child is the part of you that holds onto your childhood wounds. The outer child is the part of you that is trying to protect you from those wounds. It is possible to heal your inner child and break the cycle of shame. If you are interested in learning more about the inner and child, this episode is for you. ******************* Breathwork has been the modality and tool that has changed my entire life.

This week we're talking self-sabotage! You know that thing you always do even though you know you shouldn't? That thing that you just can't seem to shake? Well, hopefully, today's episode will loosen its hold on you just a little. It's time to learn how to live from the 'creation orientation', follow your own trail of breadcrumbs, and listen to your heart's desire when making decisions.

This week we explore the power of self-talk and how to befriend the voice in our head! So many of us are used to living with an inner voice that can be less than helpful at times. This isn't just about living with more peace, but about learning how to tap into a fully inspired life. See you there!

Today we are joined by returning guest, the QUEEN of abandonment trauma recovery,  In today's episode, we discuss the difference between the Inner Child & Outer Child, how to communicate with the Inner Child to self-sabotaging ways, and why we are attracted to the available, and how abandonment trauma leads us to be subconsciously attracted to the unavailable. Susan Anderson has devoted more than 30 years of clinical experience and research to helping people overcome abandonment trauma and its aftermath of self sabotaging patterns.

We've all heard of our inner child, right? That wounded inner child who is still reckoning with incidents occurring in our childhood. But, have you ever heard of your “outer child”? Tell me if this sounds familiar: You are going back home to visit your family and the minute you get around your parents, it's like you're 16 all over again. You're angsty, everything is unfair, and you just want to burn incense and listen to music, yet hanging out with your fam makes you want to lash out and yell and scream and maybe break a lava lamp. And suddenly all of the coping mechanisms you've learned in decades of therapy are out the window. This, my friend, is your Outer Child. It's a way in which we regress to earlier versions of ourselves and act out from that place when surrounded by triggering people. And, let's face it, it's often our family. In this week's episode, I dial up Alexa Rae Schiefer, Trauma Coach and former mental health clinician, to ask her some heavy-hitting questions around the trauma we incur from our primary caregivers. We dig into the concept of “Parentification Trauma”, the inner and outer child, what trauma responses tend to look like, and what the hell a Window of Tolerance is and why we should be aware of it. Alexa Rae and I also discuss what it means to self-soothe and how that process can vary depending on what trauma you are up against. We chat about processing the trauma of our childhoods and how, more often than not, we are trying to pretend we don't have any trauma. Yeah, ok. How's that working out? We even talk about what-the-hell trauma even is. If you know you've got a wound, or two, or twenty, to process from your childhood, be sure to grab a pen and paper. This is a good one.  This pod explores: The definition of trauma and how we all pretty much have it Understanding Parentification Trauma and how that influences your behavior later on in life What common trauma responses look like and what you can do about them Understanding Abandonment Wounds and how they show up in our lives _______ HIRE ME TO SPEAK AT YOUR EVENT!

As adults, we have the bad habit of shutting down a child's process, and our inner child is no exception. Eden takes us through the 3 dimensions of attuning to your inner and outer child. Attunement is how we create safety in relationship so we can create positive, secure connection. Awareness, empathy, and responsiveness allow us as parents (to our children and ourselves) to offer care in a way that nurtures a secure connection in relationships.

In the Hawaiian teachings the Higher Self is called the Aumakua or “utterly trustworthy parental self”. Just as our Higher Self is our “utterly trustworthy parental self”, we are meant to become the “utterly trustworthy parental self” for our real children and inner child! Our job is to teach our outer children to become the “utterly trustworthy parental self” for themselves! Which brings us to the subject of inner parenting! We all have a relationship to ourselves! What is this self? Another name for this self is the inner child or child consciousness. Each person must learn to parent their child, and this applies, as we have learned, inwardly and outwardly! There are two ways of parenting either ourselves or a real external child⎯the Spiritual way or the egotistical way. The Spiritual way of parenting is to be firm but loving, so yin and yang are balanced. We explore the 7 types of Inner Child from a full spectrum prism Higher Octave Understanding

What makes us break our diets, or run up our credit cards, or be attracted to all the wrong people? We know these aren’t healthy things to do, but sometimes we just can’t help it. In this inspiring conversation, psychotherapist Susan Anderson says that our self-sabotaging behaviors come from an aspect of our personalities that most people aren’t consciously aware of—their Outer Child. She explains the many ways that the Outer Child can wreck havock on our adult lives, and offers a three-pronged program for stopping its self-defeating behavior.

Visit her online at http://www.abandonment.net.    The word abandonment conjures up children left at birth, fathers packing up and moving out, sudden lovers betraying one another’s hearts, and sudden death. But abandonment breaks our hearts in subtle ways, too, as when we are not recognized for our accomplishments, dismissed by a friend, or not invited to a party. It is a challenge that everyone must eventually face at one level or another. In The Abandonment Recovery Workbook: Guidance through the Five Stages of Healing from Abandonment, Heartbreak, and Loss (New World Library, August 15, 2016), psychotherapist and bestselling author Susan Anderson helps readers heal the wound of abandonment through a step-by-step process of personal recovery. She guides them through the five stages of abandonment — shattering, withdrawal, internalizing, rage, and lifting — by offering practical tools and exercises designed to help them find greater life and love than ever before.  The Abandonment Recovery Workbook will help readers: • Overcome the heartbreak caused by the loss of love • Heal the underlying abandonment wound from past or present losses • Build self-esteem and overcome fear of rejections • Resolve issues of mistrust and insecurity • Identify self-defeating behaviors of the outer child • Make better choices and build new connections • Increatae the capacity to love     ____________________________________________ About Path 11 Productions: You can find DVDs of our films on our website at thepathseries.com or by streaming on vimeo.com, gaia.com & itunes find us on facebook and follow us on twitter, @thepathseries

Susan joined me for a powerful chat about her new book, The Abandonment Recovery Workbook: Guidance through the Five Stages of Healing from Abandonment, Heartbreak, and Loss, as well as how her own life journey paved the way for her most powerful work, and MUCH more! “Learning the steps to take after surviving a great loss is a hopeful process. You discover your ability to benefit from the experience rather than be diminished by it,” says Anderson. “Many of you are going through heartbreak, getting separated or divorced, or feel isolated and alone. Many of you are grieving over someone close to you who has died. Some seek recovery from childhood wounds that impinge on the quality of your current life. But our journey will take us beyond the specifics of your loss, all the way to the underlying source of the fear and despair —abandonment — the crux of the human condition.” About: Susan Anderson is a psychotherapist who has devoted over 30 years of clinical experience and research to working with the victims of abandonment trauma, grief, and loss.

Join Scott on FACEBOOK Scott Cluthe LIVE tonight with Susan Anderson on Taming Your Outer Child. Call in: 347-308-8478 Meet your Outer Child, the self-sabotaging nemesis of your personality – the part that breaks your diet and gets attracted to all the wrong people. Whereas your Inner child is all about feelings, your Outer child is all about behavior. Outer Child acts out your inner child’s feelings – especially your abandonment feelings – without giving you, the adult, a chance to intervene. When you feel hurt, angry, or insecure, Outer acts out these feelings in ways that sabotage your relationships. Outer works like a bungling undercover agent to protect (overprotect) you from potential hurt. Stealthy, quick, and misguided, it intercepts love before you ever know what happened. Susan Anderson is a psychotherapist who has devoted the past 30 years of clinical experience and research to helping people overcome their “outer child” patterns of self-sabotage and resolve their underlying abandonment wounds. She is author ofJourney from Abandonment to Healing; Black Swan: Twelve Lessons of Abandonment Recovery; and the WORKBOOK: Journey from Heartbreak to Connection.

Now, in a revolutionary rethinking of the link between emotion and behavior, veteran psychotherapist Susan Anderson offers a three-step program to tame your Outer Child’s destructive behavior. This dynamic, transformational set of strategies — action steps that act like physical therapy for the brain — calms your Inner Child, strengthens your Adult Self, releases you from the self-blame and shame at the root of Outer Child issues, and paves new neural pathways that can lead to more productive behavior.
