What does ittles/inner children mean?

Post by VowsOfSadness » Tue Dec 07, 2004 3:07 am

Remember that you have littles/inner children who may be very scared.
Watching someone self-harm is a very scary thing to witness and your lils maybe be aware of what you are doing. If you really feel you are going to self-harm, you may need to get them to a safe place. This also applies if you are a parent with external children; you probably should not have them there when you are self-harming.

This was taken from this VAST list of coping skills and I just wanted to know what this means?
*Challenges welcome*

I have known people with multiple personalities who call the child
ones 'littles.'

But I don't know for sure :-?

If I try to be like them, who will be like me?
