Our inner child is always communicating with us…
we just need to learn to listen.
Whether we realise it or not, it is shaping each and every thought, every second, every minute of an adult's present life.
All children deserve to feel safe — safe from harm, fear, and lack. Safety does not mean only physical security but also emotional and spiritual well-being as well. When children feel safe within the families they were born into, their boundaries are respected, and that their needs are met so they feel secure.
Childhood trauma, where the child’s needs are not met, destroys a child’s sense of safety, causing them to become hypervigilant and scared.
In adulthood, these inner children never go away, and neither do their feelings of being unsafe and that the world is a horrible and dangerous place. When a child feels continually endangered, a massive gaping wound opens in their psyche that is so painful that many adults, when they think they have outgrown their childhood unknowingly repress it. The truth is no one is free from the childhood trauma. It is now up to the adults to heal themselves by releasing and letting go of all that is stored since childhood, in fact right from the time of their conception.
