Adult Me And My Inner Child

This week I started listening to the audiobook version of Rachel Reiland's "Get Me Out Of Here." It's the story of a woman trying to recover from borderline personality disorder through intensive psychotherapy, including several stints in a hospital psychiatric ward. While my experience is nowhere near as intense as hers, I nonetheless find many similarities. Most notably, we both have awakened our inner children by exploring our pasts, and we both perceive a stark contrast between this inner child and the adult the rest of the world sees.
