Emotional Healing/ Healing Inner Child

Why is inner child healing important? As adults, we walk around carrying wounds from our childhood, whether it's simple or complex trauma, from emotional neglect to physical abuse. Many adults feel they're alone with these hurts and feelings, and so they cover them up because they feel like that's "what other grown-ups do." That's why inner child healing is so important, "To remind ourselves that we're not wrong or bad. To heal the shame that comes with just having feelings." By healing our inner child, we begin to create the safety and security our younger selves have always needed.
