The importance of the "inner child" or "sub-personality" features in many branches of psychology.
This is a part of our personality that always remains in a childlike state and thus retains the characteristics of the world of childhood. It is the side of our nature that’s responsible for our playfulness, creativity and sense of wonder, but also for our vulnerability.
The concept was first expressed by Swiss psychoanalyst, philosopher and anthropologist Carl Gustav Jung in 1912, who coined the term "Puer aeternus" (Eternal Child). This was a reference to the archetypal infant of fairy tales and myths in which a varied cast of young characters, such as Hansel and Gretel, Tom Thumb and Cinderella, are mistreated and abused by evil monsters or witches.
Matrix Reimprinting is related to Emotional Freedom Technique, the "anti-shock” emotional therapy we discussed here recently (http://human2nature.it/it/node/52). However, while it shares many aspects with EFT, Matrix Reimprinting goes much further.
