Your Inner Child

Shadow work is the act of uncovering and exploring our shadow selves. Psychologist Carl Jung popularized the idea of the inner shadow and defines it as the parts of you that you subconsciously reject and suppress. The shadow archetype of our personalities includes the dark and emotional side of ourselves. Like our inner child, our shadow self lies dormant within us until we put in the work to bring it to light.

Healing your inner child is incredibly important, as it helps you live your truth. For some, our inner child is happy, secure, and stable. For others, particularly those of us who experienced childhood trauma, our inner child feels scared, insecure, and forgotten. So how can we heal our inner child to help us live a happier and more fulfilling life? Reading and learning about our inner child is one of the best ways we can heal them.
