How is your Inner
child feeling today? (Checklist and Introduction to Inner
inner Child work)
* There is a part inside you and me (and everyone else) which never
grows up and never needs to grow up.
* No matter how many years
we have lived, there are other parts of us that would like to grow
up a bit more and some parts that (definitely) need to grow up.
Everything you do is influenced by whatever your
inner child is thinking and feeling at that time.
Your inner child is an incredibly real and
very powerful part of your personality.
Only when you are fully aware of your own inner child and what she or he is thinking and saying and doing each day can you begin to
grow your self-awareness and self empowerment.
2.
"Is
it really safe for me to change?"
Please read this page before
you go too far -
Making changes in your life using the methods described in these
pages is great , but only if you feel ready to change. And that
includes self assurance about change itself. It's better not to make
changes until you feel really confident about them and their effect
on your life. The methods we describe here do work, but the
changes can be fast and powerful. It's important to understand what
is going to happen before you begin. Then you can make your changes with
confidence.

Inner Father process
(copy for free)
"For years I’ve said that the basic unit of society is NOT
the outer family. It’s the Inner Family: The nurturing and protective (inner)
Parents within us taking care of our own Inner Child."
"In our work, the core self (or Aware Self, as I call
it) assumes its rightful place as the decision maker. It also takes charge of
the Critical Inner Parent so that it does not take over, especially by dumping
on other people. "

A Self Awareness site to help Men and Women
overcome the toxic influence of their Inner
Patriarch and Inner Matriarch
www.growingaware.net
Self awareness and self
empowerment can work differently for women and men.
At the heart of these differences
are two extremely dangerous inner selves - the Inner Matriarch and the Inner
Patriarch. They fight each other constantly and they encourage fights
between men and women. The only thing they have in common is that they are
both dedicated to keeping all men and
all women out of loving,
successful grown-up relationships at home, at work or
anywhere else.
We all have an Inner Patriarch and an Inner Matriarch
inside us but there is much we can do to reduce their toxic influence.

Acknowledgments -
I gratefully acknowledge the valuable help and understanding I received while
writing about Inner Child work firstly from Pia and Pat Melody and their
wonderful team of trainers and therapists at The Meadows in Arizona. Also John Falcon
and Sergei Gorski for their guidance and valuable additions to my understanding. I emphasise that
the following pages do not follow precisely the inner child models as taught by any one of these outstanding teachers. However, many
of the ideas on this website are clearly based on their original work and the
training I did with them.
From that point I have introduced some alternate concepts,
in particular the connection between inner child work and the psychology of
the inner selves (voice dialogue) as taught by Dr. Hal and Dr. Sidra Stone. I
have found that dialoguing with inner children is one of the most useful
skills (often the critical factor) in clarifying, and balancing our lives
I thank Earl Cass and Anthony Nutting for their support and
expert suggestions and my thanks to my ex-wife and friend Rozz Nutting for
permitting me to include extracts from her own books on the inner child
process.
With appreciation - John Nutting
