THE CHILD’S PROFILE

• I don’t feel worthy of accepting love and nurture
• I can become upset at small ‘telling’s off’
• I say hurtful things to myself such as “I’m stupid” or “everyone hates me”
• I struggle to know where I belong in the world
• I struggle to try new things – because I fear I’ll fail
