(Alanna Ketler) Deep inside all of us lives a wounded child who is desperate for love, attention, and validation — that child is you, it is your younger self.

Even though our parents might have done the best they could, and perhaps were typically loving and supportive, there could still be scars left on us and stored deep within our subconscious. These scars may lead us to experience the constant need for validation and approval, feelings of unworthiness or not being good enough, fear of abandonment, or perhaps a deep lack of self-love.
