The “Inner Child” is different for everyone. When you ask to portray it, a person unconsciously recalls memories of an important period from childhood. Someone paints a happy, smiling baby, carrying resources through the years for a real adult. And someone portrays a sad child, offended, upset, who activates the defense mechanisms of an adult, but not always with constructive and, in a way, childish methods. In the following work, I tried to combine the archetypes of children: the Traumatized and the Resource Child. I share my experience. Procedure: 1. We ask you to portray an inner child, reflecting a not-so-favorable period from childhood. We collect his characteristics (age, what he likes, what he doesn’t like, who surrounds him, how relationships develop, how he manages to cope with difficulties, etc.)2. We ask you to portray your inner child, reflecting a happy period from childhood. We collect his characteristics (age, what happened during this period, what he is happy about, what he is upset about, etc.)3. Present. We ask children to give each other resource gifts. For example, the Traumatized Child (in the process of work we avoid such a designation, we call it: the first child, etc.) presents the Resource (second) resource: a sense of caution, meaningfulness in interacting with people around him (a lock with a key), and the Second Child presents the First with the ability find harmonizing resources in the surrounding world: communication with nature, animals, spontaneity (flower). We finish drawing them, clarify how each child’s feelings have changed after receiving the gift. Normally, both children experience positive emotions.4. After introducing the children and distributing gifts, we talk about the fact that now both children are doing something important and valuable for you together. We ask the children to bring a joint gift - a resource for an adult. The children gave a magic suitcase, which contains many resources for different life situations: flowers, animals, music, etc. (this can also be certain qualities, abilities).5. We ask you to portray yourself in the present tense with these new resource-gifts. We ask how they can be used, starting today, thank the children, clarify the emotional state of the client (normally positive). At the next meeting, we find out how we managed to use the gifts received :))
