Ask your spiritual Guidance (whatever that is for you): What is the truth about the thoughts/false beliefs you may have uncovered in Step Three?
Ask: What is the loving behavior toward your Inner Child in this situation? What is in your highest good? What is kind to yourself?
Open and allow the answers to come through you in words, pictures, feelings, dreams, in talking with another, or in reading a book. The answers may not come immediately, but if you have a sincere desire to learn, they will come.
Our greatest freedom resides in our ability to choose our intent. You will not feel free when you choose the intent to protect/control, and choose to be unconscious of this choice. You will feel an incredible freedom when you consciously choose, moment by moment, the intent to learn about love - about loving yourself and others.
