Inner Child Healing

An abandonment wound often forms in childhood when emotional needs weren’t met and can show up later as fear of loss, panic in relationships, people-pleasing, or choosing unavailable partners. This article helps you recognize the signs and explains how real healing happens.

Most healing modalities stay on the conscious level, talk therapy for example, but the inner child wound is in the unconscious. In order to heal it, really heal it once and for all, one must work with their unconscious.

Why you can spend years in therapy and still not heal an inner child wound. Reasons and details for each reason are provided.

Swiss psychologist Carl Jung was the first to use the term, inner child. Jung designated the child as an archetype, meaning it transcends the personal and resonates with the collective.
