If you've ever felt confused by (or avoided) the term inner child or unsure what it really means in trauma healing, you’re not alone.It can feel vague, over simplified, or even a little disconnected from your lived experience. But, learning to see your inner child clearly can be one of the most powerful (and shame-reducing) steps in your healing.In this video, I talk about:What “inner child” really means in the context of childhood traumaWhy this term is often misunderstoodHow judgment deepens shameWhy separating from your younger self keeps you stuckA practice to help you reconnect with that inner childThis video is an invitation to see your inner child not as weak or to blame, but as the earliest part of you that had the strength and resilience to navigate the myriad experiences, feelings, and betrayal that no child should ever experience.Let me know in the comments what you noticed coming up for you. Do you feel a loving connection to those parts of yourself?This episode originally aired on YouTube. Don’t want to wait for the next episode?
