Inner child work is a technique that helps you reconnect with your inner child. This part of your subconscious can be very hurt or abused and needs love and compassion.
Inner child work can be done with the help of a trained therapist or you can do it yourself. It is important to get help because the process can be difficult if you do not have the support you need.
To start working on your inner child, you should first rediscover your younger self. You can do this by putting up photos of yourself from your childhood, thinking of the things you used to enjoy and incorporating them into your current life. When you feel safe and empowered, you can reduce unhealthy coping mechanisms.

As well as healing inner wounds, working with your inner child is a great way to create healthy relationships in your life.
It helps you reconnect with your inner child so that you can step out of the shadows into the light. Working with the inner child is also a great way to develop a strong, compassionate inner parent.
It can help you set boundaries, develop assertiveness and much more. You can also learn to grieve the loss of childhood and grow from its pain.
When trying to work with your inner child, adopt a non-judgmental attitude. Start by asking a simple question, just as you would have done as a child.
You don’t want to ask logical questions, so keep the questions light and simple. Go back and forth for as long as you feel comfortable. End the session with a reassuring statement with your dominant hand.
Playful practice is an effective way to increase your happiness. It doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Instead, you just need to keep your mind open and be open to new possibilities. Play can be a great way to relax and connect with others.
Healing your inner child
Your inner child may be asking for help. Maybe it has been holding back pain for years. Maybe it is afraid to change. Sometimes you may feel torn between wanting safety and stability or possibility and adventure. To heal your inner child, you need to take the time to listen to its needs.
Healing your inner child may mean facing difficult childhood memories and understanding their impact. It may also mean that you need to work through painful feelings of shame and guilt.
A trained specialist can provide you with coping mechanisms. It is important to realise that even a happy childhood can harbour old wounds. For example, if you were abused as a child, you may have feelings of shame or guilt that you still struggle with today.
If your inner child is not ready to be confronted, you can still heal it by talking to it and acknowledging its feelings. Writing a letter to your inner child can help you talk to them and give them a new perspective on difficult events in their childhood.
Another way to start healing your inner child is to look in the mirror and talk to your inner child. Speak to him in a soothing tone of voice. In this way you can make him feel safe, loved and cared for.
Benefits of working with the inner child
Working with the inner child is a powerful tool for self-discovery. It helps you heal underlying fears and dysfunctional beliefs.
You learn to respect your body, your feelings and the feelings of others. You also learn how to assert yourself and set healthy boundaries. This type of therapy is especially helpful for people who have had painful experiences in their childhood.
Working with the inner child means connecting with your creative side. This can be through art or writing. Whatever it is, be sure to make an authentic connection.
If you are not sure how to do this, a professional can help you develop an effective strategy. She can help you explore your inner child and find out what you want to achieve.
One of the most common ways to work with your inner child is to write letters and pictures of yourself as a child.
The therapist helps you create these pictures by encouraging you to visualise yourself when you were young. Some therapists also ask you to bring photos of yourself as a child. These images can jog your memory and allow you to reconnect with your innocent and loving self.
Working with your inner child is useful for many reasons. For example, it can help you heal past wounds and gain self-confidence and motivation. It can also help you to better understand and accept others. It can help you see the world as a whole and not as a collection of imperfect people.
The signs of a wounded inner child
Wounded inner children often find it difficult to build healthy relationships and trust people. They may develop addictions or feel inferior in social situations.
They may even try to hide their inner child’s fears. However, if these issues are properly addressed, great changes can occur in their lives. A trained psychologist can help people deal with these problems.
If you are afraid of new experiences, it could be that you have a wounded inner child. This may be the result of an abusive parent or perhaps a childhood in which you were bullied and taunted. Regardless of how you reacted as a child, these signs point to an underlying childhood wound and need to be addressed.
A wounded inner child can also manifest itself in physical ailments. Physical illnesses such as migraines, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are often associated with childhood trauma.
The good news is that there are ways to heal this inner child, and you can start by getting to know your inner child.
The wounded inner child may also struggle with letting go of control over their life. This wound manifests itself in behaviours such as seeking validation from others and clinging to objects and other people. This type of behaviour can be destructive and difficult to break through.
Healing the inner child with ThetaHealing®
Theta Healing is a form of meditative healing that treats you on a spiritual, mental and physical level. Your life is determined by your thoughts, feelings and beliefs and these create blockages and obstacles. Theta Healing can remove these obstacles and clear the way for you to experience life with a more positive attitude.
Your inner child is a part of you that is innocent, sensitive and playful. This part of you craves validation, connection and love. Traumatic events such as the loss of a parent can have a negative impact on your inner child. Intensive healing techniques can help you heal your inner child.
Remote healing with Theta Healing is another way to heal the inner child. This healing process involves working with distant energy sources to heal your body and soul. With a distance healing session you do not have to be physically present, you can join the session via Skype or Zoom.
