Healing your inner child can be uncomfortable; however, it is valuable as you learn to love yourself, let go of that wounding, and heal. You also find that you grow up as you heal your inner child.

When I began my inner child wounding, I realized I was 7 when I had to take care of my brothers because my mother had a breakdown; she locked herself in her room for 5 days. I also understood my earliest wounding was earlier than that, as I was neglected, buried alive with toys while my mother was ironing, I was hospitalized at 9 months due to failure to thrive and allergies (but still given milk with a milk allergy) I was of that age when we did not have as many options as they do today for food allergies, they also did not know what we know now.

If you feel like you regress when triggered, you may need inner child healing work.
