What Is Inner Child Healing?
“The Inner Child work” is work that you do with a therapist or yourself to resolve the emotional trauma, experiences and emotions that are unresolved from childhood and are causing pain to you as an adult. It is work that brings forth the joy, peace and happiness that you deserve”.
​
The Inner Child theory believes that we all have some traumatic experiences we carry from our childhood. Be it a wound of separation from parents or a fear of animals, what we experienced in our childhood has a deep impact on our lives today.
In fact, a lot of times the patterns we face at this stage have a lot to do with our fears, anxieties and impressions in childhood.
Why Would Your Inner Child Hold Emotions?
When we are very young, below the age of seven years of age, our subconscious mind and conscious mind have no barrier. What this means in simple terms is that whatever you see or is told to you at that age, you end up believing it as truth. That truth becomes a filter from which you see the world.
​
For example, if you were loved and cuddled only if you got good marks or you were a “good boy”, then your sense of self-esteem is deeply tied to certain behaviour and to other’s approval.
​
If you were told that it is not good to express anger, you may turn into someone who avoids conflict at all costs. Children who have experienced abuse may end up running away from solid relationships just because they think they do not deserve it.
