Your inner child is the part of you that still holds your earliest experiences of love, fear, and belonging. When those needs weren’t fully met, that younger part learned to survive... by pleasing, hiding, or shrinking. Those patterns aren’t flaws. They’re protection.And healing isn’t about blaming the past... it’s about finally meeting that part of you with love instead of judgment. When you reconnect with your inner child, you don’t just heal old wounds…you rediscover joy, creativity, and self-trust the parts of you that were never truly lost. Try This: “The Letter Practice” Find a quiet moment today. Write a short letter from your adult self to your younger self. Say what you wish someone had said back then:“I see you. You’re safe now. I’ve got you. ”Then write a reply from that younger part... let them tell you what they need. Do this once a week and watch your heart soften. What’s one thing your younger self needed to hear ... that you can tell them today? Drop it below in the comments. Let’s remind the younger parts of us that we made it home and that they can rest.
