The Inner injured child who is not mirrored and attuned to, is devoid of a healthy core sense of self. As a result of this they do not know how to trust and connect to others. Often times this whole in the soul that they are left with, will create a desire to fill it with substances, unhealthy habits like over eating, electronic devices, or simply turning off and shutting down. In order to develop a true sense of self you have to have healthy parents to build them from the outside in.
