Get to know your Outer Child
What is Outer Child?
Outer Child is the part of the personality that breaks your diet and gets attracted to all the wrong people. Outer Child acts out your Inner Child's abandonment issues in ways that sabotage your relationships.
Outer is the impulsive, obstinate, self-centered ten-year-old within all of us.
Outer wants what Outer wants NOW, and will overrule you, the adult, to get its way. For example, Outer prefers to binge on candy when you are trying to stick to a diet. Outer will say yes to the third glass of wine when you, the Adult, had decided on a two-drink limit. Outer lounges around watching TV when you, the Adult, had decided to go to the gym.
Outer Child patterns developed as automatic defenses and knee jerk habits for reducing stress and increasing pleasure.
