Explore your inner child through five weekly sections featuring questions, exercises, meditation, and reflective letters, while building dialogue, addressing grief, and staying accountable to your healing journey.
Practice container meditation, a tool from EMDR therapy, to safely hold inner child feelings and memories. Visualize a container, place triggers inside, and return to the body with mindful breathing.
Connect with your inner child's grief through a guided meditation that opens space for hidden emotions, invites healing through a safe place visualization, and compassionate hugs.
Practice self-compassion with a guided inner-child meditation that centers gentle heart-based care, breath awareness, and verbal affirmations like 'you are enough' to validate and soothe difficult emotions.
Hold space for grief by identifying unmet needs through inner child work, practice self-validation through heart-centered compassion, and journal to explore how to meet those needs.
Explore part two of the inner child course to honor unmet needs and nurture the inner child. Let the adult lead during triggers and engage in meditations, homework, and exercises.
Explore infancy from zero to nine months and how trust forms through caregiver nurturing. Learn how brain plasticity and mirroring caretakers shape experiences and later relationships, including dependency and mistrust.
Explore the toddler age in the Ericksen stage, from nine months to three years, focusing on autonomy versus shame and the separation phase to connect with your inner toddler self.
Guide your inner child through a grounding toddler self meditation that fosters love, safety, and healing through visualization, affirmations, and compassionate dialogue.
Spend some time reflecting and journaling on the questions below to best orient yourself with your preschooler's experience.
What was your mom/dad/caregivers doing at this time?
What do you know or guess was going on in their marriage?
If you do not remember anything from this age, what were hunches you may have felt about your family during this time?
Who was there for you?
Who was your role model?
How did you get along with your siblings at this age (if you have siblings)?
What do you remember about your imagination at this age?
Did you have a safe place? Where would go if you were scared or sad? (my safe place for whatever reason was in my closet, I would run away there when I was scared and it gave me a sense of security) **This question is important to answer and reflect on for the next meditation**
Explore the preschool years (ages 3–6) to nurture initiative, curiosity, and a sense of purpose, while addressing shame around questions and connecting with your preschooler through meditation and letter writing.
Explore a guided safe-place meditation to connect with your preschool self. Meet your younger self, offer comforting words and hugs, and cultivate ongoing love, attention, and acceptance for healing.
Explore the school age self from six to puberty within inner child healing, addressing memory, toxic shame, social norms, family roles, debriefing questions, and a myth-based homework.
Explore adolescence and identity formation during puberty, hormones, and experimentation, recognizing how rocky transitions shape self-understanding. Engage with reflective debriefing, a powerful visualization meditation, and a letter-writing exercise to caregivers.
In reclaiming the ages meditation, this inner child healing meditation guides you through a visualization from infant to adult, grounding with breath to integrate past selves into the adult self.
Explore inner child re-parenting to reclaim power, give yourself permission, and practice self-parenting with protection as you develop authentic adult self and parenting skills.
Explore honoring and protecting your inner child through a guided dialogue between your adult self and the child, and act on the child's desires in the homework.
Practice the power of being through a guided meditation that centers mindful breathing, connects you with your authentic adult self, and honors your inner child with gratitude.
Why Heal the Inner Child?
You can't necessarily fix your inner child because, unfortunately, time machines aren't invented yet; but you can help it heal it.
If you're wondering the point of doing this work consider a child that is suffering from a wound, and you do nothing to help them. How do you feel ignoring the needs of this child? How would the child feel? Wouldn't they continue to suffer until the wound was healed?
Well, this is how your inner child feels, and their wounds can affect you well into adulthood.
When a young child experiences trauma or suffering, wounds are created that must be healed. This healing can be accomplished immediately following the trauma or event if the child has a parent who takes steps to reduce the damage caused by the situation. If that's not the case, the wounds don't heal, and they can cause disruption in adulthood.
Healing the Inner child can put an end to this internal suffering. So, it's not a question of why heal the Inner Child but when will I feel ready to take this step?
Do you feel ready?
This course will give you the necessary information, material, and work to help you take that first step into healing your inner child.
