“Case Study - The Past Keeps a Man Awake at Night”

I was contacted by a person on the east coast who has not been able to sleep at because he had fear and full of anxiety. Here is what happened.

The Challenge

Gerry would go to bed at about 10 or 11 PM and his mind would start racing and he would become very fearful and full of anxiety. He didn’t know what to do… none of this made sense… and this had been going on for 2 years.

Where Did This Come From

So I asked him “When was the first time you ever felt those feelings?” and he could not remember. So I asked the question again and this time he said, “When I was very small it about 10 or 11 PM when my father would come home from work. Was drunk as a skunk and I was fearful about what he might do me and my mother.”

Well, it was obvious that his little boy within was living in fear. Waiting for his father to come home and do harm. His father would rant and rave and throw things… and get mad and even hit people.

But his father passed away many years ago… and now Gerry is a grown man in his 60’s. Yet his little boy within is still running the show and making him fearful.

The Healing

Gerry used to ignore his little boy within and that made things worse, his little boy becomes very fearful when ignored which caused anxiety and fear. Now Gerry talks to his little boy within and reassures him that he is safe… telling his little boy that nothing is going to happen.

His little boy now feels heard, loved, and cared for, and his fear and anxiety has slowly started to fade away. And Gerry is able to sleep at night and wake up refreshed… without anxiety and fear.

What Does All This Mean?

Never underestimate the power of your little boy or girl that lives within you.

Your inner child can run the show and create havoc or love. So make sure you take time every day to love your inner child… and thus you will find inner peace and contentment.

Healing is a lifelong process!

On a regular basis, something else will come up… which needs to be worked on.

So Love Thyself

Many Blessings to Everyone
