Inner Child Work and Inner Child Therapy Section

lost inner child  

We all have, with in us, an Inner Child, and yet for those of us who have been abused in childhood, that inner child is very often a hurt, lonely and very frightened inner child.


Inner Child work, and inner child therapy, are a means by which we can start to learn to love ourselves, feel safer within and reduce the nightmares in order to recover from that childhood sexual abuse abuse, and indeed other forms of childhood abuse.

The use of Inner Child therapy, and Inner Child work, is growing in popularity among abuse survivors. Many find this type of therapy is far less invasive of "exactly what happened" and that it also helps survivors to understand where their own behaviors and fears come from.

Inner Child work can also help us understand any disassociative tendencies that we may have as well, no matter where we are on the disassociative scale. Becoming a friend to your inner child can also help with self harm behaviors, comfort eating, flashbacks and panic attacks etc.

Inner child therapy can also be one of the more fun parts of recovery from childhood sexual abuse.
