Who is Inner Child Healing for?

Inner Child work is for anyone who grew up in a family that mistreated them, dismissed them, neglected them, or hovered over them demanding perfection. Inner child work is really for anyone. We all have had experiences in our childhood that were overwhelming to us. As children we are rather helpless and rely on caretakers and attachment figures to keep us safe. However, they didn’t always do the greatest job. They weren’t always able to understand or meet our needs. Children don’t have fully developed brains and it is harder for them to make sense of the world around them. As children we internalize messages about ourselves or the world. These messages impact us as we grow up and develop. 

Inner Child Healing helps us make sense of the experiences from our childhood and understand the stories we created about these experiences. We may have internalized messages about being ‘bad’ or unworthy of love or affection, creating an inability to connect with others the way you desire. These thoughts impact the adults we become and what we feel worthy of or capable of achieving.  

Why seek Inner Child Healing?

Inner child work helps you release false and limiting ideas about yourself or who you have to be. It helps you return to wholeness and harmony within. It helps you take your power back and make choices from a place of presence rooted in who you are today. When our Inner Child is disconnected from us, we feel unfulfilled within, almost as if there is a hole in us or our hearts. This hole that you try to fill with everyone and everything else can only be filled by your own Soul and your Inner Child. This work is about bringing the Inner Child home to the heart and returning home to yourself each day. This process helps you find more inspiration, more creativity, more joy and vibrance. 

This healing focuses on creating safety in your body, so the Inner child can feel supported as they return and build a new home within you. It is about rebuilding trust within yourself. Part of Inner Child healing involves reparenting ourselves. As children we maybe couldn’t take care of ourselves, but as adults we can learn how to meet our needs and show up fully for ourselves. In our time together, we will explore how you take care of yourself and if there is more you need. If so, we will help you understand how to intuitively care for yourself and meet your needs more precisely.  

What are Inner Child Sessions like?

In Inner Child healing we look at lost parts of yourself and connect with these parts. We connect with younger versions of you and explore your childhood and adolescence to discover the root for your inner beliefs. We bring them into the spotlight and give them a chance to shine. Inner Child healing can seem intimidating at first, especially if you experienced real horrors growing up. As someone who has been the victim of childhood abuse and neglect, I understand these fears and am very intentional about taking our time and creating safety through rapport-building. We will take the time you need to gently explore your inner world with more depth than you have before. 

In sessions we connect to specific parts of you. We give these parts of a voice and learn from them. We let these parts speak for themselves and tell us what you need. This process helps you develop self-trust and builds resilience, creating a ripple of healing. Tears are a very normal part of this process, and they allow us to release emotions that have been pent up and stored within the body for many years. Your child self was often dismissed, as most children don’t know better than adults on most things, but this dismissal lead to you dismissing yourself. In this work we make room for the grief and joy that come up as we heal the Inner Child and all they have experienced. This work is tender and gentle, as that is what your Inner Child needs after the world has been so rough with it. This work helps bring you back into balance with your light and shadows, utilizing all as medicine for yourself and your people!

What brought me to using this healing with clients? 

I absolutely love Inner Child healing! It is some of the most transformative work I have witnessed as a Healer, and also that I have participated in for myself. This is deep and beautiful work, which I love. I truly admire all who engage with their Inner Child and love to witness the magic and freedom it brings when a person reconnects with this part of themselves. I love getting to witness the awe of my clients as puzzle pieces start to fall in place for them. Through this work the answers we have sought for so long become clarified for us. 

So much of our unconscious mind is a result of the experiences we went through during childhood. With traditional therapy methods, clients were unable to access their unconscious fears and pattern to be able to shift the limiting thoughts that exist there. Inner child healing was the key to accessing these wounded parts our Inner Child acts from. As we access and heal these wounds, the Inner Child becomes harmonized with our present self. We no longer exist separately and through fighting ourselves. We start to flourish with all parts of ourselves working cohesively together! 

I have been facilitating Inner Child healing for over a decade now. I have seen the power of this life-changing process both professionally and personally. I want to help you find the freedom from your pain and wounds that many others have found through this process. I want you to receive the support and compassion you need and may not have received as a child. 

Remember, Coaching is not therapy. In my role as an Inner Child Healing coach, I do not provide mental health Counseling or treatment or address diagnosis at all. 

Inner Child sessions can take place online via video meetings or over the phone from anywhere Internationally or across the United States. Contact me today for a free Discovery Call to learn more about how I can support your connection to your beautiful Inner Child and create a life of joy and ease!
