Inner Child Healing Techniques And Methods

By Andrew Johnson


Trauma which begins in childhood can be dangerous when one doesn't deal with it in the early stages. It is not only sexual or physical abuse. It can be trauma of all levels. This can relate to parents who are emotionally abusive to youngsters. It can relate to bullying or neglect. Inner child healing techniques take place in therapy and can be more than helpful.

There is less pressure involved, such as one finds in talk therapy. Many people who find themselves talking to a psychotherapist become anxious and are unable to express themselves. This is especially relevant for people who have been through traumatic events. It is not easy to connect with anyone. It takes more time to trust people. Individuals go through the same sort of trauma when they begin to talk about their experiences.

This promotes fear and panic in their lives. It is the youngster who is still affected and this is why the adult is still fearful about various situations in their lives. A whole host of disorders and issues come up as a result. This can include anxiety, depression, panic disorders, addictions and withdrawal. One may walk around with a lot of anger because they don't deal with the child within.

This is why the inner child technique can be so helpful. The client feels as if they are talking to themselves, while simply having the therapist observe. Over time, they will begin to connect with the psychologist and this is a natural process, which is often the best way forward. It can feel strange at first, but clients become more comfortable with the process as time goes by.

It can feel strange or uncomfortable talking to your inner child at first. The therapist may encourage their clients to write them a letter or to draw a picture. The creative process begins to take off. During this time, you will go back to your childhood and often become more childlike in nature. You will begin to look at the pictures of your childhood which helps you to see the changes over time.

The anger, suppression, depression and anxiety is coming from the inner child who has not resolved their feelings. When the adult becomes fearful and begins to panic, they are going back to the state where they were once this small child. This is why the individual needs to look at various problems associated with their inner child.

This will lead to fewer problems, such as with fear, for example. People sometimes think that this is a childish technique. However, there is a difference between being childish and childlike, and this is what you will find out when you take part in this type of therapy. People begin to notice the positive changes within themselves over time.

Therapists often talk about going on a journey where patients visualize the child in a safe place. They will then ask them a question, such as when they first felt sad. The more you do this, the more likely you are to get a response. However, it is important to be gentle, patient and loving for the best results.
