We were all kids once, with big needs that were often misunderstood. We have had our feelings stepped on—some more than others. We can’t dwell in that, but we do have to live with it. Let us be renewed, as we learn and teach, bringing a vital end to time- worn taboos that make the world a lonely, scary place for the hurt and feeling soul. Let this be a new generation. For all those who live and breathe, Let this be a world of safety and trust, a place where it is safe to love. __________________________________________________________________ |

Our Mission Our mission is to bring light childhood issues in need of healing-- abuse, emotional abandonment, unmet needs and the like, providing education and help to adult "survivors" as well as the general pubic. ______________________________________ Let this world be guided by the principle of compassion. To meet others compassionately, we must come to peace with our own heart. Unresolved hurts, whether we are aware of them or not, have a way of creeping into all our relationships. The more aware we are of our own unmet childhood needs and personal challenges, the better we are able to respond as caregivers to the needs of others, especially children. To care for others, we must care kindly for ourselves as well. 
Fear or threats of abandonment, unmet needs or worse-- if not healed, are likely to create tests or be re-visited in later life. Unrecovered “adult- child” issues are a great cause of man’s inhumanity and human suffering. Hurt, fear, shame, abandonment, unmet needs and abuse can tap into all our faculties. If not counterbalanced or cleared through the range of human sensibilities, including remembering, thinking, feeling & the ways of Spirit, healing is incomplete and effects can emerge years later, also affecting others, especially our own parenting, and of course, our children. With support, these areas can be re-visited in healthy ways that bring freedom in a true and lasting healing. 
Food For Thought… "Is it true American mothers put their babies in cages at night?" —asked by a Fijjian mom In many places, children do not have the same legal protection against assault that adults have. The consequences of spanking, violence, and early mistreatment can run deep, and hurt children tend to grow into hurt adults who enable or continue the cycle of pain in themselves or others. Though many cultures now have protections to their young, (with consequent lowered crime rates and other benefits), the U.S. is among the most notable exceptions.

Courage is a potent potion, helping us trust and heal the hidden heart. 
What is an “Adult Child” or a "Feelings’ Child" of unmet needs or dysfunction ? The “Feelings Child“ or “Adult Child of dysfunction” is a survivor who can also be a “overcomer” or “thriver”. Emotional abandonment, which may include threats, rejection, spanking, abuse, poor parenting and more, can have mild to profound long- term effects, often resulting in a cluster of “symptoms” as described here. Adult Children of dysfunction or unmet needs are often challenged with their own compulsive or perfectionist behavior. They may fear people, criticism, and authority figures. Children of unmet needs often fail to recognize their achievements. They may feel more alive in the midst of crisis, but feel uneasy or unsure when life is going well. These “survivors” often have trouble communicating and may isolate themselves from others or cling to relationships for fear of being alone. “Adult Children” may care for others easily while ignoring their own needs. They often have low self- esteem or lack confidence and judge themselves harshly. The “Feelings’ Child” has trouble with intimacy and may confuse pity with love. They find it hard to identify and express emotions, often mistrusting their own feelings & those expressed by others. He or she may guess at what "normal" is & sometimes feel like a child living in a world of grown-ups. Children of dysfunctional families may be super-responsible or irresponsible, super- controlled or over- impulsive, or switch between these extremes, and may become addicted to excitement, crisis, drugs, work, relationships or other avenues of escape. If you see yourself here, take Heart! Recognition is the first Courageous step-- There is a Solution! Are you an “Adult Child”—a “Feeling’s Child” -- with unresolved issues from the past ? Psychologists recognize that just about everyone has issues, though most are only dimly aware of them. For many, this creates challenges that can affect all of life.
