Every adult has an inner child. If that inner child is not fully integrated with the adult self, any personal development work the adult undertakes will not address the fragmented aspects of this inner child. As a result, these fragmented elements may operate independently, often subconsciously influencing the adult's personality and experiences in life.

The inner child is shaped by experiences in childhood, particularly when a child feels unloved, neglected, or traumatized. Fragmentation can occur due to various forms of abuse—sexual, physical, or emotional. The feelings of victimhood that arise from such experiences often carry into adulthood. If these wounds are not resolved or healed, they can lead to significant dysfunction within the adult's belief system.

The unhealed inner child can cause deep feelings of anger, resentment, grief, passive aggression, and a tendency to self-sabotage. These unresolved issues may result in feelings of abandonment and neglect, which can evolve into loneliness, unworthiness, lack of self-belief, and underlying insecurity about abandonment. Conversely, adults may struggle to accept love or affection, which can impact their ability to give and receive love, leading to low self-worth, sadness, and dysfunctional relationships.

Here are some of the challenges associated with an unhealed inner child: Addictions, Low self-esteem, Destructive anger, Patterns of dysfunctional relationships, especially with parents and partners, Fear of the future, Self-sabotage, Passive aggression, Fear of loss and abandonment, Body weight issues.

During an Inner Child Integration Session, a safe space is created for the hidden inner child to emerge, allowing for the identification of trauma from the subconscious mind.

This trauma can then be healed with love and inner wisdom. In this process, the adult becomes a nurturing figure for the wounded inner child, helping it release its burdens with compassion and acceptance.

Once the inner child is healed, it can be integrated and Bubbled within the adult self, facilitating a journey from fragmentation to wholeness.
