Child-Adult Separation Process

Child / Adult Separation Integration Process

On the right hand acknowledge the current adult issue hurt (breathe deeply).
On the left hand place the childhood hurt that you have connected to in the Reaction Process. Affirm the inner child’s feelings of hurt as real. Restate that the experience is from the past and has been replaying itself out throughout your life (the compulsion to recreate and overcome childhood hurts).
With awareness (and breath) bring the two hands together, connecting the child’s hurt with the current pain of my adult life and recognising that they are they same old hurt.
Energy may move between the two hands as the connection is made. There may also be a strong emotional connection. One needs to be able to see that “all these years later it is still the same old hurt”.
Now consciously separate the hands. Leave the child’s hurt in the left hand and allow the adult self in the right to be free of the child’s hurt pattern.
Bring the right hand to the heart and feel what is left in me when the old pattern of hurt no longer dominates me. What is new; freedom, peace, strength, wisdom…?
Bring the right hand to the brow to remind oneself to be conscious in the decision to act from the freedom of adulthood rather than the reactions of the hurt child.
