โ stop telling your inner child what you think they need to feel betterโฆand ASK!
Ask them, with respect.
Ask that aspect of you that is wounded and in pain what they need. Instead of flippantly saying โyou are amazing, you are loved, you got this!โ when your inner child KNOWS/BELEIVES they are not.
I have found that a lot of healing work we try to do, glosses over the root issues. Sometimes the healing work can even cause more pain and confusion.
Itโs like putting a band aid on a bullet wound hole.
๐ Trying to convince yourself are capable, have value, and that you are a good person when every fiber of your being disagrees, keeps us stuck. Thereโs a mismatch in the bodymind.
It takes courage to ask, listen, and tune in, to the inner child. To stop defending our caretakers and focus on the needs that we had that didnโt get met.
It takes a few moments and a bit (or a boatload) of courage to love the inner child within the way they needed to be loved.

We start seeing new possibilities. We feel hope for the future. We start seeing things differently. We start feeling better about ourselves and how we can contribute to the world in a meaningful way.
