The Wounded Child and Parenting Work
The wounded child is an archetype so it's an aspect of ourselves that we recognize carries an emotional wound from the past. It doesn't always have to be in childhood but say when you were five or six your parents divorced and that was really difficult for you. That five-year-old abandoned child who felt abandoned by perhaps both her parents were through the divorce gets reignited again and it's like she's very alive. Those are the wounded child archetypes and they're also other child archetypes that we move into as we heal. As you go what I call going back for the five-year old so you go back and you you basically allow that part of you too much.
