I read this and yes, my mind understands. My inner child and I have contact. However, she scares me too. The connection gets lost when I am not doing well. We were in sync for quite a while, but we have lost touch. It is so exhausting this work…Thanks for your words. 🧚♂️
It can be exhausting work, and we can easily lose connection with her in her self. We just need to keep checking in and remember that the relationship repair, even with oneself, is more powerful than the rupture.
I lost my mother at age 4. Spent decades attempting to recover.
Inner child work has been one of the game-changers and I have written extensively about these experiences, in an effort to further the healing for myself and others.
I can pinpoint the worst day of my life, and recall the feel of it even now more that 45 years later..from age 9, regarding disturbing and traumatic details about her death that were withheld for years until I had asked too many questions.
That, too, became a focal point of the work, when a re-traumatizations some 40 years later brought it rushing back. Writing that into Wounded Angels (the inner child book) was cathartic, but even now, the work continues.
Loosing your mother at such a young age is incredibly difficult. I’m so sorry for the pain, grief and trauma you experienced. Yes, the work continues. Inner child work isn’t fast, but as you say it’s a game changer.
Beautiful. I have done so much work on this for my own mother wound, mutiple modalities. It took a long time, but a child regression under hypnosis was part of it. Thank you for talking about this wound.
I did. A mix of own mediumship contact with her, ancestral generational healing (energy work), therapy, meds, and hypnosis. It was not easy, but I am came out the other side ok. It took 20 years, on and off.
This was so beautiful and important Linnea. It has been amazing to read a thread of words about the deep need to mother/re-mother ourselves, thank you for sharing a practice that allows us to make that important internal shift xx
Beautiful piece. Imagine if more of us took the time to be at cherishing Mother To ourselves. Thank you for this well done.
Thank you Prajna 💜 Yes, imagine how different things would feel if we all did this.
This is so powerful and important, Linnea! Beautiful exercise—I can feel my nervous system calming and healing. Thank you 🙏
I’m honored Allysha 🙏
