Inner child healing helps us acknowledge the childhood wounds that still affect us as adults. This practice allows us to release shame, begin true emotional healing, and finally feel worthy of love. When we recognize that we are "a nesting doll of every age we've ever been," we can start addressing the pain our younger selves experienced and find lasting transformation.

• Too often, we judge ourselves as adults for the things we did as children just to survive
• Childhood trauma and wounds are valid and deserve attention, even if we think we should be "over it" by now
• We develop coping mechanisms to numb or avoid feeling pain, which can become automatic behaviors
• Real healing begins when we allow ourselves to feel everything we've been stuffing down
• Inner child healing often involves speaking directly to the child we once were and giving them what they needed
• Recognizing your innate worthiness of love is the foundation of self-acceptance
• Practice gentle self-exploration by identifying difficult memories and asking what you needed at that age
• Having support from friends, mentors, or therapists accelerates emotional healing when exploring painful memories

Remember: your past does not define your worth. You are worthy of love, healing, and the life your soul is meant to have. Know who you are, love who you've been, and be willing to do the work to become who you want to be.
