- In this video we discuss the Inner Child, what it is, how it works, and how to start unraveling the Inner Child wounds that very well might be controlling your life!
Maybe you've heard about "Inner Child Healing" or "Shadow Work" in the past, and you've been confused as to what it all means. These things tend to sound kind of esoteric and strange, but are in truth, very simple! So in this video we break down how the Inner Child forms, the way it holds us back, how we can begin to understand our OWN Inner Child, how we might start to see patterns in ourselves that we previously were blind to, and finally, how by understanding how the patterns form, we can free ourselves from them.
This helps me so much to help my dearest godson who had a terrible childhood! Thanks so much

The childhood wounds we carry and how they manifest in the way we interact with other people is such a wild thing. A great way to kind of get in control of it, and lessen the knee-jerk trauma-informed reactions is to be able to sit and personify those emotions as a younger version of yourself, and kind of learn to "re-parent" yourself through either meditation, or just even talking out loud when you're alone and your thoughts begin to race.
I've been able to wrangle the fear panic and stress from my younger self into something I can "talk to", or at least visualize, and it helps immensely with emotional processing. Hell doing the 4 step guide from your previous video and "teaching" it (just talking out loud) to your younger self helps a lot as well.
The confidence and peace resulting from being able to "interact" and protect your "younger self" in this way is such a breakthrough when it comes to being confident and authentic, as well as in control in high-stress relationship situations.
Also isn't it super funny how the inner child wounds don't really affect things outside of human-human contact? Sure there's some influence in maybe subconscious behaviours, but for the most part, its only activated when in a social situation (or having the feeling of being perceived by another I guess). When you're on your own, just either working, doing a hobby etcetc, the child is nowhere to be seen.
Very insightful observation that the inner child wounds tend to crop up in human-human interaction! I think that's partially because those situations are where you're forced to confront both your own image of yourself, and other people's images of you. If you're not secure in yourself, that causes all kinds of inner turmoil. Then the inner child who feels some kind of wound related to that self-image goes into reaction mode, jumping towards whatever coping mechanism has always worked.
Perfectly explained, thank you so very much!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
From the age of four I (inter-generationally) identified with my father's war trauma, stemming from the Japanese occupation of his country of birth when he was four himself. For almost fifty years now, my life has felt like being under siege having to jump through hoops to survive, resulting in this odd soup of survival stress. I think it's time to get reacquainted with that four year old child now ☺
