Inner Child Healing
Inner Child Healing is a therapeutic approach that focuses on addressing and nurturing the emotional experiences of one's younger self. It involves recognizing and healing the wounds from childhood, which can affect adult behavior and emotional well-being. This process often includes techniques such as visualization, journaling, and dialogue with the inner child to foster self-compassion and understanding.
The concept of the inner child is rooted in psychology and is often associated with figures like Carl Jung and John K. Pollard. By reconnecting with this aspect of oneself, individuals can release past traumas, improve self-esteem, and cultivate healthier relationships in their adult lives.
