Inner Child Therapy
Inner Child Therapy is about
discovering your own true self. All the things that happened to you
as a child are held as memories within your subconscious mind.
Positive memories as well as traumatic events, any form of abuse,
all contribute to you forming your beliefs about yourself.
To a young child their parents are their gods and gods can do no
wrong, therefore when our parents fail to be perfect, the child
perceives it to be their own fault. When parents argue or divorce,
the child tends to blame themselves even though this is not logical
from an adult point of view. Most parents love and care for their
children, but the way they put these messages across is influenced
by the messages they received from their parents, how they feel
about themselves, and their cultural beliefs.
The brain of a young child doesn’t have the capability to reason and
accepts everything at face value. If, for example, little Gillian is
constantly told by an exasperated mother/carer/teacher she is
stupid, as the conscious mind of a young child is not developed
fully enough to censor any negative ideas, Gillian’s subconscious
mind, working on a pattern of recognition, automatically accepts the
belief - ‘I’m stupid’. The idea then becomes an integral part of her
belief system and consequent behaviour, i.e. she won’t stretch
herself to her full capabilities as she is restricted by her
limiting belief that she is stupid.
By releasing negative patterns, shocks and traumas, and
building on positive memories your inner child starts to feel
nurtured, loved and supported. In following the pathway of change
the adult is able
to discover, accept and love their true self.
