So far, in this series on the inner child, we have discussed inner children, and how, when they are wounded, they can affect adult life. We learned that every person has an inner child that is part of our psyche, that is a childish self, inside all of us.
There is a model of healing known as doing inner child work. In this article, we shall tackle this subject to understand how we can begin the healing process from having a wounded inner child.
What is Inner Child Work?
Inner child work is something you do with a qualified person to resolve the emotions and trauma held in by a hidden child.
While inner child work can be handled alone, it is ill-advised as some of the memories and their accompanying emotions might be quite disturbing. However, not all the emotions that are harvested through inner child work are traumatic. This is because the inner child also holds the joy, innocence, and confidence that was yours at birth.
