Your Inner Child is the unconscious part of your mind that holds your unmet childhood needs. They are the true "you" that held an intuitive knowing about yourself and the world, before parents, society, or systems conditioned you to forget, deny, or betray yourself in order to receive love.

 

In childhood, our deepest needs are to be seen, loved, and kept safe. When these needs are not met, we sustain Inner Child wounds. As adults, these wounds manifest as feelings of worthlessness, insecurity, judgement, shame, guilt, boundaries, people-pleasing, and difficulty regulating and expressing emotions.

 

Healing your Inner Child involves identifying those core needs and wounds, and establishing a connect with them. And thereafter, understanding them, and re-parenting your Inner Child, so they can heal and you can consciously integrate them back into your self.​

​

Some classic signs of a Wounded Inner Child are:
Self-sabotaging
Unhealthy coping mechanisms (addictions, self-abuse etc)
Low self-esteem & self-worth
Lack of self-love
Difficult relationships - with parents / siblings / spouse / children / friends / work peers
Extremely self-critical
Guilt & Shame about self
Mistrust towards other people
Fearful about being alone
Loneliness
Feelings of being unwanted / being a burden
Not being able to handle responsibility well
Poor body Image
Not being able to take/make decisions Independently
Poor boundaries with self & others
Poor financial habits
And so on...
