Connor Beaton walks you through recalling childhood memories, both good and bad, to reconnect with who you were. Start by remembering what you liked, who you spent time with, and what confused you. If trauma or bad memory gets in the way, use old photos and talk to family to fill the gaps.
Begin to reconnect to that younger self. So start to recall childhood memories. Reflect on some of your memories from your childhood. The good, the bad, the ugly. Some of your most positive fond memories. Now, for some of you that have either had trauma or, you know, just have had events where certain things unfolded that you don't remember a lot of your childhood, this is where photos, talking to your family members are really going to help to inform and fill in. And the things that you're really looking for are, what was I like? You know, what was I going through? What was I questioning? What did I really enjoy doing? Who did I like being around? And what you're doing is building the foundation of the relationship with that younger self. Because for many of you that have never done anything like this, that younger version of you is probably going to feel so far away. What he was like, what he did, what he enjoyed, who he liked being around, what he didn't like, those types of things, they're going to feel far away depending on how old you are.
