Day 7:Healing Anxious + Avoidant Attachment Styles

The biggest insight from connecting to my inner child during the meditation was the sense of innocence that I was allowed to feel. Also, I oddly remembered how my front door looked like in my first house. The feeling of compassion that I gave my inner self was warm and soothing.

Emotions of shame and embarrassment came up in me during the meditation. As a I kid I was made to feel embarrassed if I showed too much emotion or looked like I cared too much. I would often get teased by my older siblings for it. Part of me was still guarded in this sense of being careful to not show too much or else it would bring on negative attention.

The way I can connect with my inner child more is to allow myself to feel more emotions and be expressive. As a kid I would often express my emotions freely. Also begin to do more inner child meditation and visualize.
