Child Chair

Your inner child forms between birth and age seven. This is where your true feelings and needs come from. Your inner child is very sensitive, which is also what lets you build close, loving relationships. Sometimes early pain happens here too, and it shapes how you see the world as you grow. When you're in the Child Chair, you feel creative, playful, trusting, and close to others.

Adolescent Chair

As a teenager, you start to figure out who you are. You learn that you are your own person, separate from the world around you. You also start to protect yourself from things that might hurt you, real or not. When you're in the Adolescent Chair, you may become a perfectionist, judge yourself and others, or try to control things. You might even hide your true self behind a mask. Many of us live this way until we decide it's time for a change.

The Adult Chair

The Adult Chair is your best self. It means living in the present. It means facing facts and truth, not just stories in your head. It means setting boundaries with patience and kindness. When you're in the Adult Chair, you can connect with your inner child's needs and watch your adolescent side without judging it. This is the only place where you can truly see — and change — the patterns that hold you back.
