If inner child healing could be captured in a photograph ๐ธ
The renowned psychologist Carl Jung was the first to introduce the concept of the inner child, the part of our psyche that holds the memories, emotions, and unmet needs of our early years.
According to Dr Bruce Lipton, during the first six years of life, our brains operate primarily in delta and theta brainwave states, a deeply programmable phase where we absorb experiences without filters. This is when the subconscious mind forms the core beliefs that later shape our adult behaviour.
An inner child wound refers to an adverse childhood experience that shapes how we see ourselves and the world. For instance, a child who experiences emotional neglect or abuse may internalise it as โI am unworthy of love.โ These early experiences form subconscious beliefs that influence our adult lives, often showing up as emotional triggers, limiting beliefs, or repeating patterns in relationships. In adulthood, that same belief might manifest as attracting relationships that mirror the pain of childhood, mistaking familiarity for love or safety. Other expressions of inner child wounds include imposter syndrome, fear of success, or self-sabotage, all rooted in early emotional conditioning.
Through my own healing journey and years of working with clients, Iโve seen that true transformation begins by addressing these early imprints. Inner child work helps us revisit and reparent the parts of ourselves that were wounded, meeting that inner child with understanding, compassion, and safety where there was once pain.
As Tom Robbins beautifully said, โItโs never too late to have a happy childhood.โ Healing is possible at any age with the right modality.
