Who is the Inner Child?

The inner child is the representation of our innocence, our potential and all that stands in its way. She holds the spectrum of the most divine within us and the most wounded. He shows us who we can become and the aspects we must heal to get there. She is the part of us that sings a lively rendition of our favorite song when we’re driving down the highway. He’s the voice inside our head that says, “I can do that!”, when we believe we can’t.

Your Inner Child is the kid inside that got yelled at and ridiculed for peeing the bed. She’s the kid that got relentlessly teased at school and was always the last to get picked in gym class. He might be the young boy that was molested by a family member or the little girl that had a heavy handed father.

He is a part of our psyche that remains quietly huddled in a corner of our mind until someone or some event triggers his unforgotten pain and anguish. For many of us, unresolved childhood issues can become debilitating adult patterns. The wounded Inner Child’s knee jerk reaction to the triggers present in adulthood can totally sabotage any efforts we make towards success or growth.

We’re told to “get over it”, “let it go”, but, if the Inner Child is left unheard, sabotage is innevitable. We sit in therapy for years talking all about how horrible it was or we ignore it and become consumed by resentment. Obsessing over and ignoring the past does not serve us. It holds us hostage.

The Inner Child needs to be healed. She needs the love and compassion of an adult. That adult is you. You are the only one that can go inside and heal the child of your past and bring her into your heart. Healing the wounds of your Inner Child brings you into alignment with Source, God, the Universe. Homeostasis is restored. We can move on to achieve our dreams and live in joy and peace.
