Hiding the Inner Child | How Childhood Trauma Shapes Addiction & Our Perception of who we are

📖 Chapter One - Hiding the Inner Child Chapter One exposes what most men have never been taught to look at: the inner child they learned to hide in order to survive. This chapter explores how early experiences - rejection, bullying, emotional neglect, not fitting in, being told to “man up” — quietly shape a boy into a man who doesn’t feel safe being himself. Rather than being supported, he adapts. He hardens. He performs. He disconnects. “Hiding the Inner Child” shows how that disconnection later resurfaces as: • low self-worth • emotional insecurity • people-pleasing or withdrawal • addiction, compulsive sex, and escapism Not because the man is weak - but because the child inside him never felt protected. This chapter invites the reader to recognise that their destructive behaviours didn’t come from nowhere. They were learnt responses. Defence mechanisms. Ways of coping when emotional needs went unmet. It’s the beginning of compassion - without excuses. Understanding - without blame. And the first step toward reclaiming the parts of yourself you were taught to abandon.
