Problem with inner ichild is that it often behaves bratty...it remindes me of those scenes we see in movies when a kid is attaching paper with ,,kick me'' written on it on somebody's back. Then that unlucky guy is being kicked and he don't know why it's happening. I think it sums up that child modus operandi pretty well.
Maybe it would be best to don't have it inside, but since it's impossible to get rid of, we have to deal with it somehow...your post seems to be potentially helpful in that regard.
