And that's the part that we're speaking to.

So we speak to that part with both brains, with both parts of our brain.

What we do is we give it the education that it needs from the science and from the biology and the physiology element, because that is left brain and we're very left brain society.

And then what we're doing with the inner child work is we're bringing in right brain.

And the right brain is more pictures, sensory and feeling.

And when you think back to when you were little, you didn't have words for the first two years of your life.

You were just a sensory thing, a little sensory wee being, toddling around, trying the best you can, you know, to understand this very...

noisy and overwhelming world desperate just to connect i see it with my puppy um poppy she's just so beautiful she's a wee chocolate labrador and of course i've been training her over the past couple of months i've had her and i see even in her just her little earnestness she's so eager to please and she loves being around she hates being on her own you know she's she's um she's a little monkey at times of course and i'm having to to obviously poop

boundaries and things in place with her as I'm sure parents did with us as well growing up but what if your parent was just maybe ill or there'd been a tragedy in the family or there'd

There had been some issues that they weren't able to give you the time and attention that you needed.

What if you internalize that as there was something wrong with you?

What if, you know, as a little child, there was other events that happened and you felt lost and alone?

And children are known to take on the responsibility of when things go wrong.

they're so innocent, they're so sweet.

And I have to say, you know, my daughter is a primary school teacher.

And I think what I love about the work that she does, which she does so brilliantly, is being reminded of the very innocent approach to life, the very kind of almost black and white thinking that they have.

They have, yes, they have a very colourful imagination, but when they're trying to make sense of things or what they sense is fair,

It's almost, it's very simple in its approach.

So that's what we're kind of looking to keep opening ourselves up to.

I guess that's what I'm trying to say.
