Everyday that I walk into the office these painted rocks remind me that each one is carrying a special message of hope, healing, or simply honesty.

✨ “I’m Okay
✨ “God is Real
✨I miss you
✨You got this

Sometimes healing looks like small reminders left behind by someone who’s been there too.💜Maybe they were hurting. Maybe they were healing. Maybe they just wanted to remind you that you’re not alone.
💛 Mental health isn’t always loud or obvious — sometimes it’s a quiet rock on a sidewalk, saying, “Keep going.”
If today feels heavy, let this be your reminder:💖You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to not be okay. And you’re allowed to keep trying.

“Two Broken Children”
They met like magnets drawn by invisible wounds — two souls who recognized each other’s ache long before they spoke a word.

She carried the quiet sadness of never being chosen. He carried the rage of always being not heard, and blamed. Both learned early that love meant survival, not safety. At first, it felt like home. Their broken pieces seemed to fit — her need to be needed, his need to be rescued. She saw the frightened little boy behind his anger; he saw the abandoned little girl behind her silence. They held each other tightly, mistaking trauma for tenderness.🖤
But healing never comes through the same patterns that caused the wounds.
Soon, her soothing became suffocating, and his protection became control. Their inner children, still unseen, began to fight for attention. ❤️When he raised his tone, it wasn’t her he was shouting at — it was the ghost of his mother. When she cried, it wasn’t him she was mourning — it was the father who was never there emotionally 🖤 or never came back. They tried to love each other through it, patching cracks with apologies, promising change, only to tear them open again. Each argument echoed the same childhood script: “Don’t leave me.” “Don’t hurt me.” But the more they clung, the more they lost themselves. In time, she realized she wasn’t loving him — she was loving the part of her that once begged someone to stay. And he wasn’t protecting her — he was protecting the boy who once had no control. They were two💔💔 broken inner children holding each other hostage, trying to heal through the same chaos that made them sick.
Healing came the day she stopped trying to fix him, and he stopped trying to own her pain. They parted — not out of hate, but out of mercy. She learned that loving herself meant rescuing her own inner child first. And maybe, somewhere down the line, he’d decide to do the same. Because sometimes love isn’t about becoming one — it’s about learning to become whole, separately. 💖

🌿 “What Is Inner Child Healing?”

When Loulou first started therapy, she didn’t understand why her anger felt so big or why a small comment could make her cry for hours. “I feel childish,” she said softly.

Her therapist smiled and replied, “That’s because it’s your child who’s hurting — not the woman sitting here.”

That day, Loulou met her inner child — the small version of herself who learned to stay quiet to keep the peace, who believed love had to be earned, who never really felt safe.

Inner child healing isn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen.
It’s about going back — not to relive the pain, but to finally give that younger you what she needed all along:

Safety. Compassion. Validation.

Loulou started writing letters to her younger self.
She said “I’m sorry no one protected you.”
She said “You were always enough.”
She said "God smiled when you were born"
And slowly, she noticed something changing — her adult self started to feel lighter, calmer, whole.

Healing your inner child isn’t fixing who you were.
It’s remembering that she’s still inside you, waiting to be loved by the one person who finally can — you. ❤️❤️

🌸 My Journey of Healing 🌸
Behind this smile is a story of growth, faith, and healing. 💫There was a time I carried the weight of my past — the pain, the silence, the lessons. Today, I choose peace. I choose forgiveness. I choose ME😊. Healing isn’t a straight path — it’s messy, sacred, and powerful. Every tear, every reflection, every boundary has brought me closer to freedom. 🌿Here’s to healing the parts of us we once hid. To becoming whole again — one day, one breath, one moment at a time. 💖🦥🦥

🌿 Growing up in a home filled with violence and abuse leaves deep inner child wounds. These wounds carry the fear, shame, and unmet needs from childhood into adulthood—showing up as people-pleasing, fear of conflict, or struggles with self-worth. 💔

✨ Healing begins when you:
* Acknowledge your story

* Re-Parent your inner child w/compassion

* Create boundaries & safe connections

* Allow therapy & body-based healing to restore safety

Healing doesn’t erase the past—it gives you the chance to create the love and safety you always deserved. 🌸

You are not broken. You are healing.
