Simply “hearing about,” “getting in touch with,” or “knowing you have” an Inner Child is not going to accomplish much on the positive Self-Parenting scale. It’s a first step, but that’s all. Some people even use their new “knowledge” of the Inner Child to get into trouble by trying to change or manipulate their Inner Child using the exact negative tactics of their “normal” Inner Parent.
You began this SP process by the “Self-Parenting Style” you were given by your outer parents. If this was negative in your experience, then you will have to work through this programming in order to change your Self-Parenting Style from negative to positive.
I have been testing and teaching Self-Parenting for over thirty years. I still do my sessions every day. As far as I know, I am the only person teaching in this field who ever did so.
If you are serious about improving your Self-Parenting style as an Inner Parent it can happen here. I can’t do it for you; neither can anyone else. When you begin to practice regular half-hour sessions, I will be there to support you.
Yours in Self-Parenting,
John K. Pollard, III
