The Inner Child - The Version of You That Still Waits to Be Held

The Soulful Truth

Every adult has a child inside of them who never felt secure enough to be themselves.

The version of yourself that is your inner child is the one who:

• felt ignored.

• learned to live by keeping quiet or appeasing others.

• carries those emotional scars to this day.

They still manifest in your unfulfilled needs, reactions, and fears.

The Significance of It

Shape of inner child wounds:

• Our responses to rejection

• How we feel about being noticed

• How we communicate (or repress) truth, love, or rage

Even though you might not be aware of it, your emotional blueprint from childhood continues to shape the story of today.

Indications of an Unresolved Inner Child Fear of Being Forsaken

• Has trouble setting limits

• External validation is required.

• High levels of shame or self-criticism

  
  

Restoring the Inner Child

Going back in is not necessary for healing.

It entails providing your younger self with what they have always required right now.

You can start by:

• Writing a letter to your inner child

• Self-parenting with guidance and visualization

• Group sessions or therapy where you feel fully heard

  
  

Idea for Reflection

"What did I need to hear as a kid that I still miss today?"

There is nothing wrong with your inner child. All they are doing is waiting to be noticed.
