Inner child: why it wakes up in adults when they quarrel with their parents

Familie is exhausting. Not always, but quite often. Even those of us who say of ourselves that we are pretty d’accord with parents, siblings, etc., have points that are regularly stuck.

Family get-togethers often act like a magnifying glass on trouble spots that we have been carrying around with us since childhood. Old patterns are triggered. Long grown-up people fall back into their childhood roles. Earlier hurts come up again, the inner child awakens.
