Inner child healing is the process of healing your childhood wounds, bringing closure to painful experiences in your past, whilst reconnecting you with your childhood self who experienced these wounds (your inner child).
You gain insight into how your child self learned to be in the world through painful experiences, including their behavioral and thought patterns, motivations, triggers, and feelings.
You will see and understand how the ways you operate in the present moment are rooted in your childhood experiences.
As you heal your inner child, over time (timing varies on the person), you begin creating a path to connect with your wonder child.
Not only does this path connect you with your wonder child, it also creates space for your wonder child to show up in your daily life for you to live from a place of unconditional love and acceptance of self. You may express and be more of who you really are in the world as your adult self.
