Inner Child

The Inner Child refers to your emotional body.

​

Childhood is dictated by those who raise us and often causes scars that will take years to heal. For the most part, our issues go back to childhood and what impacted on our emotional and physical bodies at that time. The inner child remains with us all of our lives.

 

We are all children at heart, innocently searching for our meaning in life.

​

Within ourselves still lives the child we once were. Behavioural patterns can be linked to this mostly subconscious part of ourselves. 

 

Many adults are unaware that, deep within themselves, such a fragile, often wounded part of who they were has deeply influenced their decisions and their path forward. It has indeed led them where they are here and now. We are, as human beings, a sum of all our experiences.

​

Inner child work is designed to help us “adults”, to re-connect with the child and learn to understand, nurture, and accept, the desires and motivations of that inner child.

 

Deciding to explore this part of ourselves and to contact the child we once were, takes us on a journey to the core of ourselves. We can then befriend, embrace, champion and heal that child. We can visit our inner child and tell them that whatever happened in the past, they are worthy of love. Instead of denying, neglecting, abandoning or rejecting this part of ourselves, we embrace it, listen to it, nurture it and treat it with love. Befriending your inner child often feels like being able to get up again, breathe, discover and fight for what your heart really wants, meet and honour your integrity, your joy, your smile.

​

Inner child work reconnects us with this part of ourselves longing to be heard and held. It is deeply rewarding, enabling us, in a nurturing and loving way heal our fragmented self.
