Where does fear originate from? Where does anger originate from? Where does shame originate from? So many of us are struggling with wounds set so deeply into our subconscious that we don’t get a chance to actively heal them. Getting to know these wounded parts as the Inner Child allows us an opportunity to finally meet and befriend the parts of us we thought weren’t allowed to exist. This is largely how we move toward wholeness and understanding our authentic selves. In recognizing the inner child we uncover where we may have experienced abandonment, not being supported or loved, and/or not feeling safe. When we can become aware of these painful areas of our life we can stop letting them seep into our relationships like poison, and we step toward our true power and potential.
