A framework for understanding the psyche
Most of the struggles you have as an adult
started with something
a child needed
and never got.
These are not luxuries. Not nice-to-haves.
They are fundamental — like food and water, but for the psyche.
When those needs go unmet, a child does not blame the adult.
They
cannot.
So they do the only thing that makes sense to a developing mind —
they blame themselves.
"I am not getting this because something is wrong with me."
Because I felt unsafe — I cannot take risks.
Because I felt unlovable — I hold myself back.
Because I felt unworthy — I do not aim high.
The child grew up. But the belief stayed.
You can meet your own needs now.
You have choices they did not have.
That changes everything.
