The child within, once released does not protect the self-deceptive from their lies. The Child Within will not bolster any insane and pain-avoidant defences. It becomes apparent we know the stinking rot we have been holding in check underneath our surfaces, and the rot we subtly manifest to everyone who comes under our sway. We intuitively know we have been twisted. disturbed and manipulative, and have no business leading others.
