Are You A Replacement Child?

We often don’t realize that a circumstance of our childhood or birth can have an indelible effect on our later lives. When we look at our lives and wonder why we react in certain ways, or follow patterns that may not be beneficial to us, there may be underlying reasons that we can address.

It’s important to note that many replacement children have flourished in art, music, literature, dramatic arts and psychology (link to famous replacement children). Awareness on the deepest level of who we are, as a unique individual, can lead to healing and enhancement of our lives.

Do you identify with any of these issues associated with the replacement child condition:

• Relationship issues
• Ill-at-ease in life 
• Low self-esteem
• Not good enough
• Not seen or heard
