Fundamental Human Challenge and Its Answer
A fundamental human challenge is the tendency to believe that the answers are on the outside.
This is because when we were children that was true. We needed to rely on the "big people" for our answers. In all areas where we experienced trauma from the absence of a safe and loving "big person" when we needed them, we continue to focus outside for our answers. That is the case until those wounds are truly healed. When we carry such unhealed trauma, we still believe, and live our lives as though, the answers are on the outside. We continue to struggle and suffer unnecessarily until we learn how to turn the focus within, as taught in I AM.
In Inner Alignment Method (I AM) training, you become the one who's on the outside, focusing within to get to know your still hurting Child. This way, you're not expecting your Child to stop focusing outside. You come to understand that a Child can't help but look to those on the outside for the answers. That is what's happening anytime we become reactive in some way. For example, we might get in someone's face to set them straight, or perhaps say nothing and pretend there's no problem at all. However we react, we are experiencing ourselves as a Child in Coping Mode, which I also call Little Adult. When such reactions occur without being properly addressed, we are reinforcing painful, programmed beliefs that will continue to stifle true self expression and connection.
I AM supports you in developing yourself as a True Adult, creating power within and the connection that allows those wounds to be healed. The result is a profound relationship between your Child and you, as a True Adult, allowing your Child to be free to show up authentically in life. Then, as a True Adult by your Child's side, you continue to discover, day by day, the truth of who you are, connecting with all of life in deeper, more meaningful ways.
