Inner Child & Subconscious Work

When I was growing up, I was completely tormented as a child. I was abused all the time, whether it be emotionally, physically, even sexually. I had all of that that was going against me. So it tore away my own self-belief. And she turns around and knocked me for a loop, rocked my world, to turn around and say that I didn't believe in myself. And when I examined that, I realized how much I didn't believe in myself. I realized that, wait, wow, that's really harsh for me to have come this far in my life, and when little Vinnie had already been through so much that I did not believe in him. And that hurt, and that is what made me realize that is why I even wrote the book that I wrote and did the work that I did, because it made me understand that that belief or disbelief was hidden from me and protected. And the reason why I was protected is because it was so hurtful to recognize. To come to an understanding that I did not believe in myself, that turned everything around for me. As hard as it was to recognize that, it was the greatest gift besides receiving these other gifts. That was my greatest gift, being able to say, 'Vincent, you do not believe in yourself enough, so now you have to work on that.'
