Our inner child is a real part of our sub-conscious mind. A wounded child needs our love, care and compassion. Inner child therapy is been developed to heal this wounded inner child and to discuss more on this topic , today once again we have Manisha Agarwal with us.
Manishaji, we all have inner child, but how many of us remember to connect or speak with it?
When we are connected to our innerchild, we feel excited, happy and inspired by life. When we are disconnected and hurt we feel bored, unhappy and lethargic. During our childhood days we were not allowed to show strong emotions, criticized on our regular basis, bitten, not given physical affection, also not allowed to voice our opinion, etc.
These thing lives a deep impact on a person on their adulthood. In a way we all are influenced by our environment since the time we were in our mother’s womb. From that time our innerchild has stored those memories and has impact on us. Sexual abuse during childhood by any known or unknown people lives deep scars on their rest of the life. These kinds of abuses can create diseases in a person life for example, amnesia, false memory syndrome, borderline personality disorder and facing difficulties in trusting as well as has fear of intimacy.
How to identify that an individual have a wounded inner child?
