Every person has an inner child. We grow up but those memories are still a part of us
When the inner child is wounded or traumatized and cannot get comfort it often withdraws. That wound stays open.
The first step is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment for the IC to be authentic and learn new skills
Secondly, identify IC behaviors and what triggers those behaviors
The third step is to begin to identify and rehearse new responses to old triggers
The fourth step is to allow the IC to identify and grieve losses.

For all those people in the comments section with traumatic childhood experiences, you are not alone. Just look how many of us there are. I'm incredibly proud of you all for attempting to work on yourselves. You took the biggest step already, you identified the problem. Now all that remains is to fix it. We're already halfway there. Keep up the hard work!

Im a 31 year old male crying like a baby on this right now...my God the things I've bottled all these years...thank you for this

[julietakhughes]

It's tragic to realize you spent your entire life, built every relationship, handled eveey interaction conditioned by an inner child that never felt worthy, or "enough". It all feels like a lie.

But opening our eyes means we can heal that child.

Hugs to each and all of you.

[haddadiwanassa]

Reading the comments gives such power that we are not alone sending love healing and recovery to all those reading

[pleasesayhi]

You just talk to your inner child and be the adult they needed. It's hard sometimes, to be both the broken one and the healer.

Dear Lord, I hold up in prayer myself and all the other people listening to this video with wounds searching for healing. You know the depths of our pain. We stand together, united, and are asking for a miracle. Also, please restore the years that were lost. Please hear our prayers. Amen

My inner child is in crying mode because of a very difficult life. I wish I could go back in time and be a child again. I was such a good child.

[Beautyforashes_]

I entered into a relationship and all of my childhood traumas started emerging. I started to be depressed bc of the inner battle. This video was recommended to me at the perfect time. Thank you
I just have to remember that these thoughts are not true. I am good enough, I am lovable and I am worthy of being my best self.

[mikewilkins]

My whole life I’ve known something was wrong. The loneliness, no confidence and parents and family who never talk about feeling or never say sorry I was wrong. Ive tried to share with ppl my life isn’t all that it looks. Many ppl denied me because they say both your parents are there and it looks like love! Man, how everything that glitters isn’t gold!

[torreygreen]

This woman just described my entire childhood! I cried like a baby listening to this.

[ashuradailyy]

anytime i bring up my childhood with my family it’s always “ you were spoiled, your mom did everything for you “, what they don’t know is the betrayal, embarrassment, shame, invalidation, etc etc she gave me too. In turn, not being able to understand or accept what i went through i became angry and honestly, as im typing this resentful, i fought back anyway i could.. after the fighting and trying to fix our relationship while she put it all on me, im finally just giving up. I’ve rejected myself relationships, friends, fun times etc etc because i’ve felt guilty for being “ such a bad child “ and wishing i was “ like my other friends “… im 22 now, and im going to start actually loving myself and the child in me. God is the only parent i need, and we’re on this journey together 🤞🏾❤️

[adftmh]

I'm imagining myself hugging my inner child, and telling her how strong and brave she is to pass all these wounds. We will work together, and we will always be safe ❤

[misskim]

Trying to be the best parent I can be, trying to deal with my wounded child and not wanting to transfer trauma is so hard 😭

[gabrielamartiniuc]

Shamed, blamed, humiliated, insulted, ignored, attacked verbally, bullied . My childhood in a nutshell.

[helenacummings]

I was verbally sexually physically and emotionally abused. I had a very hard time controlling my emotions. My inner child was very traumatized. I have come a very long way. This video explains so much to really help you heal, thank you.

[Mezzie]

Most of us know what the problem is or how we’ve been specifically traumatized what we don’t hear enough is empowering ourselves and healing ourselves

"Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"Amen ❤ God bless you 🙏😇 Wish you always success, good health, love life and happiness ❤

[jillian]

It's taken so long to recognize how much my parents' actions have affected me in my adult life and caused so many issues for me. Even down to denying that my problems are valid and that I'm ungrateful for feeling this way, as I'm trying to learn to fix these problems. It really is insane how much a parent can manipulate your entire thought process and self-worth.

[savedbygrace]

I went through a traumatic childhood and became extremely quiet and started experiencing lots of anxiety in social situations along with a lack of self esteem. I don’t know why my mother decided to have a child that she was never willing to love. Thank you for this video.
