Inner Child Healing Techniques And Methods

By Andrew Johnson


There are many reasons why an adult will find themselves sitting opposite a trauma therapist. You don't have to be constantly abused all of your childhood to go to this type of therapy. There are children who have been bullied, ridiculed, abandoned, or being brought up in a dysfunctional home. Therapists often turn to inner child healing techniques.

There is less pressure involved, such as one finds in talk therapy. Many people who find themselves talking to a psychotherapist become anxious and are unable to express themselves. This is especially relevant for people who have been through traumatic events. It is not easy to connect with anyone. It takes more time to trust people. Individuals go through the same sort of trauma when they begin to talk about their experiences.

There are different ways in which a therapist can help a person to come to terms with what they are going through. However, one has to remember that people who have been exposed to trauma take more time to open up. They are often not ready to talk about what they have been through. They often have problems trusting others, which is natural since they have been betrayed.

This is why the inner child technique can be so helpful. The client feels as if they are talking to themselves, while simply having the therapist observe. Over time, they will begin to connect with the psychologist and this is a natural process, which is often the best way forward. It can feel strange at first, but clients become more comfortable with the process as time goes by.

It can feel strange or uncomfortable talking to your inner child at first. The therapist may encourage their clients to write them a letter or to draw a picture. The creative process begins to take off. During this time, you will go back to your childhood and often become more childlike in nature. You will begin to look at the pictures of your childhood which helps you to see the changes over time.

The anger, suppression, depression and anxiety is coming from the inner child who has not resolved their feelings. When the adult becomes fearful and begins to panic, they are going back to the state where they were once this small child. This is why the individual needs to look at various problems associated with their inner child.

However, it is not impossible to heal from this. It may be traumatic going back in time and looking at these photos of yourself. You may see family pictures which can seem false to you. It will bring out negative feelings, but this is part of the process, and this is not a bad thing at all. One needs to go through all types of stages in order to complete the process.

Therapists often talk about going on a journey where patients visualize the child in a safe place. They will then ask them a question, such as when they first felt sad. The more you do this, the more likely you are to get a response. However, it is important to be gentle, patient and loving for the best results.
