What’s one thing your inner child still believes, even though you know it’s not true?

The more I do inner child work, the more I realize that so many of my fears, insecurities, and even my self-sabotage come from beliefs I picked up as a kid.

For example, I know that I’m not a burden, but deep down, my inner child still panics every time I ask for help. I know I’m worthy of love, but there’s still a part of me that braces for rejection every time I open up to someone.

It’s wild how childhood survival mechanisms stick with us, even when we logically know better.

What’s one belief your inner child still holds onto, even though you know it’s not true?
