Your inner child needs reminders too

Many of the feelings we struggle with as adults begin much earlier than we realize. In a previous blog, I talked about how feelings of unworthiness often start between the ages of three and five. During those early years, we are learning about ourselves and the world around us, and many of the beliefs we carry today can begin during that time.

What many people forget is that the inner child within us never truly disappears.

Your inner child is the part of you that still wants to feel safe, loved, accepted, and valued. It is the part of you that wants to laugh freely, express emotions honestly, and be completely yourself without fear of judgment.

As children, we naturally wanted to run, play, explore, and express ourselves. We did not worry about what others thought of us. We simply existed in our truth.

As we grow older, life experiences, expectations, and emotional wounds can disconnect us from that part of ourselves. We become more cautious, more guarded, and sometimes forget that it is still safe to be who we are.
This is why it is so important to check in with your inner child from time to time.

Remind yourself that you are loved.

Remind yourself that you are worthy.

Remind yourself that you are safe.

Remind yourself that you are protected.

Remind yourself that you are accepted.

Remind yourself that you are allowed to be yourself.

You are allowed to speak your truth.

You are allowed to laugh.

You are allowed to cry.

You are allowed to take up space.

You are allowed to be exactly who you are.

Sometimes healing is not about learning something new. Sometimes healing is simply remembering what your soul has always known.

The more often you remind yourself of these truths, the more your inner child begins to feel safe again.

If you would like support connecting with your inner child and healing the beliefs that may be holding you back, I invite you to book an appointment.

With love,
