Healing the Inner Child
Our inner child is the innocent, fun-filled little person that resides within and just wants to use their imagination to create, play and have fun. Our inner child is the important part of us all, that reminds us to not take life too seriously, all of the time and to find ways to have a little fun in our day. It might be as simple as going for a walk with nature, where you can be in awe of the beauty around you or discovering a new leaf, flower or frog in your garden. Our inner child reminds us to stop and ‘smell the roses’ so to speak and enjoy the simple magical things that are all around us as we play and reconnect to the innocent child, however briefly that may be.
However, somewhere along the way our inner child can start to feel they need to be the adult all of the time. Perhaps they have been isolated, abandoned, lonely, left out or unheard.
Why is it so? Because the inner child does not receive the reassurance that enables it to feel okay when it is having fun. Our social responsibilities and busy life regime don’t allow a place for our childish ways and that we should ‘grow up’ and get on with life.
Trauma emerges from many different life experiences, with each or us interpreting and responding to them in our very own unique way, for example spilt milk or running late. The reality is that even a great parent may contribute to a trauma, but they don’t do it deliberately!
By understanding our inner child has a need to be nurtured, heard and validated, you recognise that our inner child is the key to understanding our difficulties with relationships, addictions, anger, jealousy, fears, self-sabotaging and other self-defeating behaviours, and by healing the inner child, we can enjoy the joy, laughter and creativity that give your life greater balance and meaning.
