Dear Prash:

You are welcome. Regarding your “scared child from the past”, or inner child, the common term, I just read your original post on this thread and he is there, italicized by me: “There is awareness that what I do is in line with my values and I am good as I am. Yet there seems to be a need for a pat on the back. An absence of that is not a permanent de motivator”-

Your inner child is hiding at the end of sentences that start with “There is… there seems… An absence…”. You are highly intellectual, rational, educated, well articulated, excellent vocabulary and grammar. Your inner child is hidden behind well established Intellect and education; distant, removed.

If you ever want to access him, in private, if you so choose, start sentences with him speaking like a five year old. The italicized would be something like: hug me, hold me, tell me I’m okay. Or.. help me.
