Inner Child Work

 There are days when the physical pain in my body feels overwhelming. On those days, I remind myself what it felt like when I first began doing inner child work.

I wanted to do it, but it terrified me.

At the time, I didn’t even know I had a wounded child inside me. I only knew that I had survived a difficult childhood. Meeting that little girl—and learning to listen to her—felt both sacred and frightening.

Many times, I wanted to quit.

But something deep within me knew this work was a gift God was placing in my hands, and so I kept going, one small step at a time.

Looking back, I can say without hesitation that inner child work changed my life. It softened my heart, transformed my relationships, and led me home to myself.

Today, I find myself standing at another threshold.

Once again, I feel deeply challenged.

I have come to believe that these physical struggles are directly connected to my nervous system—to a frightened child who still longs to feel safe. And so, once again, I am being asked to trust. To stop searching for answers outside myself and instead listen inward.

This path asks for surrender.

It asks for faith.

For today, I will simply breathe.

I will take one baby step at a time, trusting that, just as before, this journey is leading me somewhere beautiful.
