Inner Child Work
Inner Child Work
Do you find yourself reacting to situations with intense emotions that seem disproportionate? Or perhaps you’re carrying wounds from childhood that continue to affect your adult relationships? These early life experiences can deeply impact how you navigate the world today.
Are you experiencing any of these signs?
- Having strong emotional reactions that feel younger than your current age?
- Struggling with patterns of behaviour that began in childhood?
- Finding it difficult to set boundaries or speak up for yourself?
- Experiencing feelings of abandonment or unworthiness?
- Noticing that past childhood experiences are affecting your current relationships?
These patterns can leave you feeling stuck in old wounds and reactions. With support from Inner Child Work, you can begin to heal these early experiences and develop a more nurturing relationship with yourself.
FAQ Inner Child Work
Inner Child Work is a therapeutic approach that helps heal wounds from childhood experiences. It focuses on connecting with and nurturing the vulnerable, younger aspects of ourselves that may still be carrying past hurts or unmet needs.
Inner Child Work uniquely focuses on accessing and healing younger parts of the self. It combines emotional healing with practical reparenting techniques, helping you become the supportive adult your inner child needs.
Your therapist will guide you in connecting with your inner child through visualization, dialogue, and emotional exploration. Sessions may involve memory work, creative expression, and learning to respond to your younger self with compassion.
Inner Child Work has shown effectiveness for healing childhood trauma, improving self-esteem, addressing attachment issues, and resolving relationship patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation. Individual results may vary.
The duration varies based on individual needs and the complexity of childhood experiences. Some people experience meaningful shifts within 8-12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term work to establish new patterns.
Inner Child Work is designed for a wide range of issues such as:
- Childhood trauma
- Self-esteem challenges
- Attachment wounds
- Relationship patterns
