Reconnecting with Your Inner Child
The little one who
got hurt and hid away is still waiting—for you.
When we were young, we
were told:
“Don’t cry,” “You’re too sensitive,” “Be a good kid.”
So we shut down our emotions and buried our real selves.
But later in life, we
find ourselves overly anxious, scared of abandonment, or obsessed with
perfection.
This isn’t because we became flawed—
It’s because our inner child is still crying out.
My Own Story:
There was a time when
I’d overreact to even subtle rejections.
I didn’t understand why I was “so sensitive.”
Then one night, in a dream, I saw a little girl,
about five years old, standing alone in a classroom corner,
watching others play.
She was me.
When I woke up, I said
to her:
“I’m so sorry for ignoring you.
You don’t have to be good all the time.
I hear you now.”
I cried—not from pain,
but because someone (me) finally saw her.
A Healing Practice:
Embrace Your Inner Child
Find a quiet moment.
Close your eyes and breathe.
Visualize yourself as a child, especially during a moment you felt ignored,
scared, or angry.
Where are you? What are you doing?
Now, walk toward that
younger you.
Kneel down, and hold them.
Say:
“You’re allowed to
cry, to be afraid, to be messy.
I’m here now.
Thank you for surviving.
It’s my turn to protect you.”
Tears may come—and
that’s beautiful.
Because this is where healing truly begins.
