What is Inner Child Work Therapy?

Inner child work is the process of connecting, understanding, embracing and healing your inner child. Your inner child represents your first authentic self that entered into this world; with no limiting conditioning of the present world. It contains your capacity to experience wonder, joy, innocence, sensitivity and playfulness as it is. While growing up, due to environmental impact we lose these inner child qualities. In a way we begin to disown the innocence of childhood.

As children we perceived the world very differently from our adult selves. Because of this, many of the things we presently assume never hurt us as children may have left deep scars.

Child is purely an emotional being. Child’s survival too depends on parents and the environment. Socio-economic, cultural, educational, religious influence is more on a child since he hasn’t developed his logical mind yet. In order to adapt to the environment, depending upon his emotional reactions, he forms certain adaptation strategies, survival mechanisms, some conclusions are taken, certain decisions are made, some beliefs and values are taken subconsciously-some are formed, and certain behavioral patterns are formed. His subconscious filters or perceptions are formed on the basis of data he received and fed in his psyche, in the childhood till 8-9 years of age. They are the files in no edit, no delete form based on pleasure and pain.

Child can develop wounded psyche. Childhood traumas impact on a physical, emotional, mental and even sexual level.

“The child- every child around the earth, in all societies is forced to renounce his being, is forced to accept other’s opinions about himself. Every child is born absolutely accepting himself as he is. Each child is born with great love for himself, he has self-love, self-respect because he is not yet a mind.”
