As an adult, when we look back we don’t remember much of our childhood. Most people can remember a few moments from those young ages. However, our early childhood shapes our lives and who we are significantly.

Even though you may not pay attention to it, your unmet needs, wounds, and the way you learned to love as a child, still affect your relationships, confidence, and dreams. This is perhaps one of the most important reasons why it’s important to heal the inner child.

Especially if there was a traumatic wound from childhood, you may notice the effects more as an adult. These may return to you in the form of physical problems, anxiety, or other mental health issues. The key to healing as a whole may be in acknowledging and comforting that little child.

Who needs to connect with the inner child? 

We all need to connect with and heal our inner child. Think about yourself when you were born. How innocent, pure, and perfect you were. You were just seeking love and acceptance. Fast forward to your adult life, things may look a little different. Only a few of us really live remembering our innocence, purity, and completeness as a soul. 

Connecting to our inner child helps us remember our core, and unite to our soul. This is where we can reclaim our inner strength, talents, and inspirations.

Especially for the ones working through trauma, healing the inner child is a must. That confused and hurt child could still be directing your decisions while feeling unsafe. Healing the inner child with hypnosis can help rescript traumatic events and provide comfort for that scared child.

Can hypnosis heal the inner child?

Hypnosis is a great tool to use for connecting and relieving the inner child. During hypnosis, the subconscious mind is highly active and alert, allowing a deeper connection to spirit and past. During hypnosis, spontaneous memories may come forward as well as unexpected emotions. As random as they may seem, they are never coincidence.

With hypnotherapy, you can get to know your inner child without the expectations and boundaries of day-to-day life. You can finally get a chance to see yourself from the perspective of unconditional love and acceptance. And perhaps giving yourself the love and recognition that you were never able to receive from others.

Moreover, hypnosis can also help you rescript unpleasant memories and be a support for yourself this time around. This can help you heal those memories and release any negative emotions such as resentment, anger, or unforgiveness.

How long does it take to heal the inner child?

Healing the inner child with hypnosis is not a quick fix. After all, the wounded child has been dragging her feet for years. It is a delicate journey one must not rush through. Digesting and savoring every moment and soaking in new teachings of your inner child is a must.

Healing the inner child can be a lifelong journey. But hypnosis can help you understand her temptations, fears, or worries. Usually, many people feel a sense of connection and relief starting from 3 sessions.

Final words

Some people assume that “kids don’t understand what’s going on”. I can assure you, kids know exactly what’s going on and they can unconsciously take the blame for the hurdles. Whether this is you or you had a very pleasant childhood, healing your inner child with hypnosis can strengthen your connection to yourself and others. Go ahead, and feel the magic yourself!
