By acknowledging how our inner child's wounds still affect us, we can start to break free from their hold.

When we’re hurt, there are two ways to think. We can think in a way that makes us angrier and want to retaliate. Or we can try to calm ourselves, touch our compassion and understanding, and give ourselves a peaceful mind. This way helps us see that the other person also suffers, and then our anger will dissipate.

We should look at our suffering in such a way that the suffering can become a positive thing.
