Inner child healing is a form of therapy that aims to help individuals address and heal emotional wounds that they experienced during childhood. The idea behind inner child healing is that everyone has an inner child within them that represents their childlike innocence, vulnerability, and emotional needs. This inner child is believed to be the source of our deepest emotions and desires, and when our emotional needs were not met during our childhood, it can create emotional wounds that continue to affect us as adults. Inner child healing typically involves working with a therapist or counselor to explore and process these emotional wounds and their underlying causes. This may involve techniques such as visualization, guided imagery, meditation, and journaling, as well as exploring childhood memories and emotions. The goal of inner child healing is to help individuals develop a healthier relationship with their inner child, and to provide the emotional support and resources that their inner child may have been lacking during their childhood. Ultimately, inner child healing can help individuals to feel more whole, connected, and emotionally balanced Inner child wounds: 1. Abandonment - feeling rejected or abandoned by a parent or caregiver, which can lead to feelings of insecurity, fear of rejection, and difficulty forming close relationships. 2.

Physical or emotional abuse - experiencing physical or emotional harm from a caregiver or other authority figure, which can lead to feelings of shame, guilt, anger, and difficulty regulating emotions. 4.
