Inner Child Healing

As newborn babies, our minds are like sponges. We start absorbing emotions from our
surroundings, especially our parents, siblings, and grandparents, and develop our ability to
process these emotions. We also pick up belief systems, fears, and judgements from all
around us as we grow older. Indian culture also places a lot of significance on teaching a
child about values, customs, culture, and traditions from an early age. Age 0-8 becomes
extremely crucial for us as it defines our personality. Furthermore, teaching kids to
understand and acknowledge their emotions, especially negative ones, becomes the
utmost important skill to be imparted to children as it lays the foundation of a
well-balanced adult.
For example, if the parent is upset with the child but he sits the child down and talks
through a difficult situation and helps him process his emotions, the child will pick up the
exact healthy pattern and continue the same as an adult. On the other hand, if a parent
expresses his or her displeasure only by screaming and shouting at them, a child will think
that is the only way to express his displeasure as a kid and as an adult. The child will freeze
his emotions and resources. As he hasn’t learned to express his emotions, he will start
acting out and start self-sabotaging subconsciously by failing his exams, throwing
tantrums, etc.
When a similar situation arises as an adult, like receiving negative feedback from your
manager at work, the unhealed inner child takes over, who can’t take the criticism well and
self-sabotages his own work. The adult would realize that his behavior isn’t healthy for
him, but he is unable to act appropriately.
Healing the inner child will help free those emotional patterns and open resources,
allowing the adult to take charge!!!
