Have you ever thrown a tantrum like a toddler who missed naptime or cried like a baby when they got hurt? Those are some light examples of your inner child seeking attention.<\/p>\n

While frustration, anger, and pain are all part of life, it\u2019s super important to acknowledge and process these emotions in a healthy way so they don\u2019t affect you. Inner child work is all about healing and taking care of those younger versions of ourselves that have been hurt in the past and still affect you in the present.<\/p>\n

With insights and guidance from Mindvalley experts, let\u2019s explore deeper into this form of introspection:<\/p>\n

As Marisa Peer<\/strong>, globally celebrated psychotherapist and trainer of Mindvalley\u2019s Uncompromised Life<\/em> Quest, says, \u201cIf you have been waiting all your life for someone to tell you you\u2019re amazing, you do it.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

For example, you know how sometimes you get all frustrated and angry over stuff that rationally seems like it shouldn\u2019t bother you? That\u2019s your inner child acting out.<\/p>\n

But you can give that little you a makeover by healing past wounds and providing a safe space for them to be in.<\/p>\n

What does \u201cinner child\u201d mean?<\/h3>\n

Your inner child is the fun, curious, and creative part of yourself that never really goes away, no matter how old you get. It\u2019s linked to your childhood memories and that younger version of yourself.<\/p>\n

And as a kid, you may not have been taught to deal with your feelings constructively. So those wounds get buried deep in your subconscious, only to manifest in adulthood as tantrums, outbursts, or other childlike behaviors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What Causes a Wounded Inner Child?<\/h2>\n

Unresolved issues have a way of popping up out of nowhere, much like Uncle Larry during dinnertime. And when something triggers those issues, you better believe that your inner child will ding dong<\/em> your doorbell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
