How does your wounded child show up in your life?
Caroline Myss - Four archetypes of survival
"The wounded child archetype holds the memories of abuse, neglect and other traumas that we have endured during childhood. This is the child pattern most people relate to, particularly since it has become the focus of therapy since the 1960s.
Many people blame the relationship with their parents that created their wounded child, for instance, for all their subsequent dysfunctional relationships. On the positive side, the painful experiences of the wounded child often awaken a deep sense of compassion and desire to help other wounded children.
On the positive, the painful experiences of the wounded child often awaken a deep sense of compassion and a desire to help other wounded children. From a spiritual perspective, a wounded childhood cracks open the learning path of forgiveness.
The shadow aspect may manifest itself as an abiding sense of self pity, a tendency to blame our parents for our shortcomings and to resist moving on through forgiveness.
It may also lead us to seek out parental figures in all situations rather than relying on our own resourcefulness"
