Just around the corner
.
“Adult children are grownups
who still feel like kids inside.
“Maybe not all the time,
but often, and especially
under stress.
“This happens because,
under stress, adult children
enter what amounts to a
hypnotic trance.
“In that trance they forget
that they’re grownups and
experience themselves as
the kids they once were –
scared, angry, guilty,
confused, and helpless.
“The worse they were
wounded as children,
the more powerful this
trance is.
“Anyone who’s ever
experienced a panic
attack knows what
I’m describing.
“So does any adult
who’s ever felt him-
or herself regress to
the age of six in the
presence of family
members.”

We’d have to convince the grownups to read it first. 😉
