Our inner child holds memories of our childhood in two different lights: the innocence, creativity, and playfulness we experienced while growing up, representing a notion of simpler times for some. On the other hand, there may be a wounded inner child, shaped by negative experiences and influences from the world around us.

Many of our current challenges and limitations can be traced back to our childhood, to what was said to our inner child, and what beliefs we internalised about ourselves and the world. It’s possible that we internalised messages that our words didn’t matter or that we were unworthy. This can often be the root of anxiety, addictions, and low self-worth that we carry into adulthood.

As children, we tend to automatically blame ourselves because we lack the capacity to understand that it may have nothing to do with us. Instead, we may believe that if no one listens or hears us, it must be because we have nothing valuable to say.

To achieve wholeness, we need to integrate all aspects of ourselves. During the healing process, it is important to acknowledge and bring together different parts of ourselves, including the wounded self, inner critic, aspiring self, and playful innocent self. By doing so, we can create a coherent identity and learn to appreciate ourselves as we are in the present moment.

When we judge and selectively reject certain parts of ourselves, we create a sense of separation within. It is crucial, though not always easy, to remember that we are multifaceted human beings.

By integrating all the different parts of ourselves and acknowledging our childhood experiences, including both positive and negative emotions, we can experience a sense of wholeness.

Approaching inner child work with compassion and the intention to heal and grow, we can treat all aspects of our identity with equal importance. We can approach them with curiosity, love, and understanding, ultimately integrating them all together. This integration allows us to feel more connected and at peace with ourselves.

I often give my clients journal prompts to empower themselves in between sessions. One of the prompts in the evening is “What am I proud of myself for today?”

One of my clients told me last week that she was really proud of herself because she was able to pause and respond to her husband rather than reacting. She also put boundaries in place with her extended family and although it didn’t feel completely comfortable, she upheld them anyway.

We celebrated these wins as it was a far cry from where she came from just four weeks ago, having hit rock bottom unable to see a way forward.

I know I bang on about regulating the nervous system and Somatics but my client has only been connecting back to her body using Somatic exercises for a month.

When we are regulated in the nervous system and grounded, rather than being in a constant fight or flight state, the mind too balances and a whole new world of choices opens up to us.

She chose the total transformation package. This is a powerful combination of body and mind work to empower her to move through the world with greater ease, appreciation and self compassion. I can’t wait to see how she continues to heal herself with my support.

Are you feeling any of the signs in the post and if so, are you celebrating yourself?

Creating safety and trust within the nervous system is such an important step for mental and physical wellbeing.

Somatic exercises are a gentle way to give the body space to connect to the parts that may have stored tension, integrate them and bring the body back into homeostasis.

What do you do to manage stress and challenges? I’d love to know. Let me know in the comments.

Sometimes we just need to take time to process our thoughts, feelings and emotions.

And during these times you may not stick to anything; your exercise doesn’t happen, you eat sh*tty foods and you can’t be bothered to listen to your meditations!

It’s very easy for that inner critic to start running the show and start beating you up.

Make a choice and catch the way you are speaking to yourself and ask yourself if it’s helpful. Would you speak to a loved one or a child in the same way if they were feeling down?

Self compassion and kindness is what’s needed during these times.

And remember, that you will be able to pick yourself up, brush yourself down and start all over again very soon.

Let me know if this reminder was helpful for you today.

Ok, so it’s important to be aware that taking responsibility for our lives doesn’t mean we have complete control over everything. And yes, it can cause pain when things don’t go right for us to.

But one of the most satisfying feelings we can have is when we recognise the impact of our actions and make a conscious effort to make positive changes that can influence our lives.

I know taking responsibility wins hands down for me. What about you, do you agree?

I was speaking with a client yesterday, and we discussed how the growth we experience now creates entirely different reactions in situations that would have previously overwhelmed us.

Life still happens, but by regulating your nervous system and building self worth, you will keep getting better, more resilient, stronger and wiser.

Have a wonderful weekend all 💜

One of the reasons you may use self-criticism is to motivate yourself to do something about the threat to your self-concept.

What you need to know is that self-criticism triggers the brain’s threat system – this is our Limbic System, the oldest part of our brain that tells us to ‘be prepared to fight!’ or ‘be prepared to run!’. When the threat system gets triggered, the brain releases cortisol (a stress hormone) and this activates the sympathetic nervous system (‘fight-flight response’) that tells the body: “Get ready for danger!”.

Over-relying upon the threat system as a source of motivation can make us stressed, anxious and depressed and generally inhibits a good emotional mindset to (really) accomplish anything well,

When we practice self compassion, we are actually moving our sense of safety from the threat system to our own care-giving and attachment system, which triggers the release of opiates and oxytocin, which generates feelings of safety and peace.

This is more helpful and ultimately more productive than being self-critical and in a perpetual state of threat, distress, and self-attacking.

Life often pushes us to work on our outer goals before we look at our inner world of core beliefs and old programming.

This can lead to a fleeting feeling of success once we achieve the goals, only to be followed by a reversion to old, destructive narratives and behaviours.

On the other hand, working on our core beliefs and inner world can result in a profound sense of self-improvement, ultimately creating greater success and fulfillment in our external endeavors.
