After effects of reparenting inner child

[Tiffany]

Hi everyone,

So I finally caught up on the inner child class early this morning. I hadn’t slept the night before because of issues with my family that has been ruminating (inner child issues). I did some journaling/reframing of all the things on my mind. After watching the class I dozed off and dreamt that I told my mother how I really felt. It felt like a real “release” and I actually feel a little better now.

Just found that interesting and thought I’d share.

That resonates with me! I've been doing a lot of inner child work for the past few months, and I have been going back and forth on whether I need to tell my mother what I have worked through in therapy. I recently journaled the points I would make if I were to have a conversation with her about it and that alone was very helpful because it helped me see my own growth and where I stand. I don't intend to share what I have written with her unless she is open to it and asks me a question that shows me she can receive it, but if she does, it will be easy for me to communicate clearly.

Hi Seyi,

It takes so much courage to do this work. I’m also working with a therapist on this. It’s hard sometimes but it’s worth it. Like you, I don’t intend to share it with her unless she’s open to it

Hi Tiffany, Seyi,

I'd love to hear how your journey with the inner child work has progressed. I started the process this past week and the speed of healing has been amazing. I was also attempting to do this work via 12 Step groups on/off for 10 years or so -
Again, would love to hear if you stuck with it and your experiences in general.
Best,
