This is a method of therapy where the Inner Child (we all have one) can be accessed, and negative conditioning, trauma and emotional neglect can be positively addressed. The Child within is a wonderful part of us; spontaneous; fun; mischievous; the sparkling part of our personality. The contra aspect is that the child within can throw tantrums, behave unreasonably or inappropriately.

If there has been trauma or damage in childhood, the spontaneous inner child is broken, and cannot find an outlet; depriving many of the enjoyment and fun that brings. If there has been negative conditioning in childhood or our emotional needs are not met, then our present-day selves will always have low self esteem/worth, and never believe they can achieve.

Childhood traumas are often ignored, or swept under the carpet, by adults around them. Family bereavements etc were seldom explained to children a few years ago, therefore the child’s feelings were never validated, or dealt with. The self worth again is diminished and shadow areas within the psyche established at that stage.

Unless these ARE brought out into the light, looked at and dealt with, they can be crippling and can mean that the bearer will never achieve their full potential. Childhood abuse of any kind can also be dealt with and much of the fear, low self esteem, inhibition and sadness lifted.
