When your nervous system was forced to adapt by growing up too fast, your inner adult actually doesn't fully form
Because developing that nervous system scaffolding takes steady presence, attunement, mirroring, touch, play, rupture and repair and consistency
The good news is we can become the adults we didn't have
No matter how afar away the inner adult has felt, not matter how long it's been
As someone with CPTS for me this has meant giving myself a lot of space and permission for play, for forgiveness, for being ok with being wrong, and for feeling the sensations of agency, boundaries and using my voice in tiny titrated amounts at a time
And the female nervous system had her own unique way of healing this patterns, come experience it
