Inner Child Work
This practice helps clients heal from past wounded experiences when they were young. The inner child plays an unconscious role in a person’s adult life and reacts to triggers. The goals are to:
Recognize the inner child within oneself (whether angry, vulnerable, or impulsive/undisciplined, for example)
Learn to reparent the inner child
Facilitate the child’s healing and growth
Help the inner child merge with the healthy adult self
