“Wounded Younger Parts are the core or epicenter of where the trauma has been stored. Once you arrive at that place [and] you've gotten permission, access, and trust from Protective Parts, unburdening that and releasing that is ridiculously simple.” — Tanner Wallace [10:24]
“What you'll often find with Wounded Younger Parts is they are simply a scared child, a scared version of you, a scared adolescent version of you, frozen in time at a scene of betrayal, rejection, or abandonment.” — Tanner Wallace [13:46]
“The bulk of the parts work for CPTSD is building trust and facilitating a softening and transition to power between your Protective Parts running your internal world and you ascending to your rightful seat of power as the leader of your system.” — Tanner Wallace [20:34]
“Inner child work with parts work is seeing yourself as a fragmented human with Protective Parts, Wounded Younger Parts, and you leading yourself—separated from these Parts but in collaboration with these Parts—to offer unburdening [and] integration.” — Tanner Wallace [22:44]
