- This phrase targets the 'inner child' wound that almost every human has. It makes them feel uniquely seen.
HOW TO DO IT :
Look them in the eyes and say softly:
- I feel like when you were younger, you had to grow up a lot faster than the other kids. You’re so used to carrying everything yourself, you don't even know how to let someone else take care of you, do you?
WHY IT WORKS :
- Even if they had a great childhood, everyone feels like they carried a heavy burden growing up. By validating that unspoken feeling, you position yourself as the only person who truly understands their depth.
