INNER CHILD
The inner child can remain a fragmented part of our psyche when we haven’t received the love, nourishing and nurturing that we needed from our caregivers.
As babies and children, we are wired for connection, being heard, seen and held(also as adults, but that’s another post)-Not just to be fed, clothed and instructed. So if our script didn’t include all that we needed, we are more than likely as adults to be shutting down or reacting from the unresolved and unregulated emotional needs of our inner child.
Shutting down, withdrawing, lashing out, needing to be parented as an adult, having huge emotions that feel insurmountable/debilitating and being unable to change behaviour patterns are some of the traits of the wounded inner child.
I typically sense or see an inner child as an unintegrated overlay, fragment or buried deep within. Liberating that energy and allowing it to integrate safely can bring ease, flow and conscious presence.
Inner child energy work can result in purging effects(as can any other energy work) and can be intensely rewarding.
Honoring, soothing and nurturing our Divine child is just as important as bringing our Divine Masculine and feminine energies into balance.
