We’ve all had this thought in our minds before, haven’t we?
If you experience thoughts of self-doubt and feelings of shame, you’re not alone.
Those are all messages coming from your wounded child.
Our wounded inner child contains unhealed wounds and traumas from our childhood which may show up in different ways in our adulthood, and one of those ways is through these negative thought patterns.
So let’s talk about reparenting our wounded child.
Your wounded child needs to know they are loved, they are safe, and they are protected.
There may have been times in your past where you felt unsafe, unloved, or you had emotional needs which weren’t being met.
These times are what create those wounds.
But it’s not too late to give your past-self the love and care you so desperately needed.
Are there phrases of love and encouragement you wish you would have heard more as a child?
“I’m proud of you.”
“I accept you.”
“Don’t worry, I will protect you.”
“I love you.”
I encourage you to get a notebook out and write out some of the things you would like to tell your wounded child.
Next, watch this video as I describe one way you can begin to speak to your inner child with love and care ❤️
Remember, just because you have wounds from your childhood does not mean you aren’t a worthy and capable adult.
We could all use a bit of reparenting. No shame. No guilt. Just love.
