What’s Inner Child Work?

In a nutshell, it’s having “big” or “adult” you hold space for “little” or “child” versions of you. These child versions are you at various ages when you experienced some form of wounding through trauma or unmet needs. Holding space can be simply acknowledging that the wounds exist. But as you do inner child work it can look a little more complex such as when you’re anticipating a potentially triggering scenario, letting your little girl / boy know that adult you has it handled and that little you can breathe easy and relax.

I take care of my little girl / boy.
