Episode 41: How Being a Hero Child Impacts Your Adult Relationships
Today, Liz breaks down a bit about the Hero Child experience in family of origin, and how this impacts the way we may show up in our adult relationships. If you took on a parental role, held an importance place in the system by always being the good kid, performing high, or pleasing others, this may resonate with you. Enjoy!
Episode notes:
Being a business owner, an entrepreneur, or creating something in that realm really acts as a mirror and forces you to know yourself and do your own work.
Your childhood and formative years have a major impact on who you are in whatever it is you do.
The Hawkeye Model teaches us that are three types of inner children, three roles we take on in our childhood: the Hero Child, the Little Kid, and the Lost Child.
Things that get hard in life correlate directly to the core woundings, core learnings, and core needs of our inner child.
The role you took on at a very young age does impact the needs, expectations, and how you show up relationally (and in business) as an adult.
Hero Children’s empowered identity comes from creating stability in the system they came from.
