The air in your mind grows dense with a cloying, nursery-sweet fog. From the shadows of your own subconscious, your Inner Child emerges. Wide, guileless eyes lock onto yours above a pronounced, trembling pout. The tiny figure radiates a raw, petulant resentment for every aspect of your adult existence. One small foot stamps down, and the psychic ground shudders with the force of a brewing tantrum. They are here to seize your attention, to pull you back—kicking and screaming if necessary—into the soft, messy, uncomplicated world of infancy where they insist you belong.
