I caught myself wanting my partner to heal my inner child.
As a child, I was often alone and my parents were not lovey-dovey or affectionate.
Therefore, I wanted him to heal the wounds of my heart and give me the security and love I never got as a child. And of course, I felt that way, that's what you see in all the movies and media. Prince Charming comes in and saves the princess from the dragon. In this case, the dragon would be your traumas and wounds. Lemme tell you that is not how it works. You can have the most amazing loving partner, but if you do not take the time to heal your wounds, you will not be able to perceive or see the love they are giving. It won’t be enough.
There is no one coming to save us. It is up to us to save ourselves. Being empowered means taking ownership of yourself. Your life, your emotions, and your healing. Instead of reacting to the world, you choose to respond to it. Instead of asking for the external world to change first, you recognize that you must make changes to the internal world first.
