Sometimes our minds forget the details of our lives, while other times they seem to have happened yesterday.
This is what trauma does in its rawest form, whether you are 5, 15, 25, or 75. It has an impact on how we perceive life and causes both visible and unseen emotional wounds of varying severity.Past wounds that have been buried within us for a long time are an example.known as the "inner child." The "inner child" is a childlike, usually hidden part of a person's personality that is characterized by playfulness, spontaneity, and creativity and is usually accompanied by anger, hurt, and fear attributable to childhood experiences (based on the Merriam-Webster dictionary). The inner child is a childhood trauma that varies from person to person. For some, it may stem from severe childhood abuse. Others face more subtle forms of abandonment, parental neglect, or simply struggle to fit in with their peers.
When I look at trauma as an unspoken or unmet need for healing, I find that it brings empathy and understanding to the emotions, feelings, and behaviors that result from the present and unconscious inner child wounds. These wounds can be from major or minor experiences in your life. which I like to call "big T traumas" and "little T traumas."Â They can be multi-layered and even multi-generational.
Have you ever paid attention to the small voice within you? The one who makes you think of your younger self? We carry our younger selves with us every day, no matter how old we get. Next, what makes the inner child truly unique?
It is our intention to communicate with our inner child through their language, a language that is emotionally based and embodied rather than expressed through intellectual thoughts and words. authorization to heal The unfortunate reality is that whether or not you remember your traumatic events, your body and mind—or your subconscious mind—remember, and it records every moment of abandonment fear.rejection, humiliation, and helplessness You have experienced trauma. It knows no race or religion; it is not selective or predestined to occur, and no one is exempt from possibly being on the receiving end of a traumatic event.
Then, how do you give your child permission to heal, and why should we heal the inner child?
First, we must give you permission to begin your healing journey. Next, we must put on our inner child trauma glasses by looking at trauma through a different lens. And we should create space to heal our own childhood trauma. Making space can be difficult because it requires us to let go of things we've grown accustomed to and are familiar and comfortable with.
But we can also make space for ourselves in a variety of ways. We can end relationships that are harmful to our health. We can work to heal the thought patterns that plague us. We can allow ourselves plenty of alone time, and we should. We should create a space to heal ourselves because we make room for new and healthier things to grow when we learn how to access our inner stillness, silence, and spaciousness. We can develop habits that will benefit our health. We can improve our mental, emotional, and physical health.
