I am a tall, grey-bearded, 57-year-old man and sometimes I feel like a six-year-old kid, small and wobbly, unable to speak up or fight back when I’m feeling unconfident or under attack. That’s when the part I call Little Dan has blended with me, in IFS terminology, taking me over so there is no me there, just him. ❤️‍🩹

The idea of us having an inner child who needs healing is not new. Dr Carl Jung, one of the founding fathers of psychology, wrote about the Child archetype, which consisted of memories and emotions from each stage of a person’s childhood development. This idea laid the foundations for what we now call the inner child. 👶

Love is always the answer.

Instead of hatred, division and othering, we need more love, more empathy, more compassion for those who are suffering. And we can all do this, all the time. Start by performing as many small acts of kindness as you can, throughout the day. These acts spread little waves of kindness, friendliness and connection, which ripple out, person by person. You may also want to support charities helping refugees, like the excellent . is doing vital work in this area, as is , who have been campaigning against racism and the far-right for many years.

Although this is a challenging time, we have been through many other turbulent times in human history.

Sending you love and strength, especially if you’re feeling scared or threatened right now.

One of the key elements of secure attachment – and a crucial part of healthy child development – is the concept of attunement.

Having parents who were attuned to you is essential for your physical and mental health.

And the lack of attunement – even from well-meaning parents, who are doing the best they can with what they have – can be extremely painful, traumatic even, for highly sensitive little boys and girls.

Some people find crossword puzzles addictive, others can’t get enough of golf. Plenty of people enjoy gaming on their phone, which doesn’t do it for me, but I totally get the engrossing, high-level distraction offered by that little glass screen.

You may be obsessed with cooking, or your allotment, or the gym – any activity will do for your protective parts, as long as it’s distracting and engrossing enough to shut out those pesky worries and anxious, sad or lonely feelings.

Any activity can be healthily enjoyable, distracting even, without becoming the kind of all-consuming obsession that is the hallmark of an addictive process.

It might be helpful to spend 10 minutes journalling after reading this, to separate out those activities you merely enjoy from those that are a bit problematic for you.

If you’re struggling, ask a close friend or family member, who will have no trouble pointing out any obsessional behaviour!

We all need ways to help manage difficult thoughts and feelings. That’s part of what makes us human. Some of these ways of managing – like drinking, taking prescription or other drugs, being addicted to tech or comfort foods – can be unhelpful, but please don’t feel ashamed about that. You are just doing the best you can to get by, like me and the eight billion other people on this planet ❤️

IFS is based around the concept that we are not one self, but many. Some of these selves, or parts, are young and hurt, carrying painful memories, feelings and beliefs from childhood.

Others are protective, using a wide range of strategies to ensure that these young ones don’t get hurt again. ❤️‍🩹
