This week I realised that most of my work centres around working with people who have experienced childhood trauma. I have been privileged to provide nurture and guidance to someone who has made the decision to face and learn to love their wounded 6-year-old.
Here is what you can look forward to when you make the decision to heal your inner child.
Patterns
Support will give you the opportunity to identify unhealthy patterns of relating and support you to put different ones in place as you heal.
Sometimes unhealthy patterns can appear throughout your life and is present in all your relationships, without support it can be hard to identify or change them.
Silencing negative voices
The well-meaning family and friends who thinks out loud. The ones who asked why aren’t you over that yet it has been so long. Healing takes time, give yourself permission to love you enough to do whatever it takes to heal.
walking in freedom
It was our first session, and I sense the hesitancy when I said you are going to be OK. I do this every day and see so many walk in freedom
I cannot give a timeline because no one can tell you how long it will take for you to accept, love and show empathy to the hurt you. However, when you make the decision to heal you have the opportunity to live a new normal.
