Inner Child Healing Techniques And Methods

By Andrew Johnson


There are many reasons why an adult will find themselves sitting opposite a trauma therapist. You don't have to be constantly abused all of your childhood to go to this type of therapy. There are children who have been bullied, ridiculed, abandoned, or being brought up in a dysfunctional home. Therapists often turn to inner child healing techniques.

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.

People are left with fears and phobias which they need to deal with. They are not comfortable within their own skin. They also have problems with other people who they are close to. It can include loved ones as well as those in the workplace. However, by discovering more about the underlying reasons for the fear, patients will be able to move on with their lives.

It is important to talk or write to the child about special qualities, treating him or her gently. This leads to compassion and love. When you can't love yourself, it is difficult to love others. You will have trouble with relationships, and possibly authority figures which makes it difficult to cope in the workplace. When you neglect these types of problems, it only becomes worse.

If they are not comfortable with this at first, they are encouraged to write a letter. This can be better for a person who is more introverted. However, they need to read this out aloud. It is also encouraged for the therapist to set the individual a task of continuing a letter outside of the session. This helps them to stay motivated. They may set a theme, such as forgiveness, shame of love, for example. This is a way in which the patient can elaborate on the topic.

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.

You also need to interact with the child, getting to know more about him or her. This will include finding out about what he or she likes to do. The inner child may enjoy reading, for example. Go back in time and pick out their favourite book. This will help you to connect with him or her once again.
