Inner Child work

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 and  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. Inner Child therapy and Inner Child work, is growing in popularity as the therapy is both less invasive of exactly what happened and helps survivors to understand their own behaviors. 

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 tendencies, comfort eating etc.

This can also be one of the more fun parts of recovery from childhood sexual abuse.
