All of us have an inner child within us, the source of our joy, playfulness and spontaneity. However, all too often, in the process of growing up, the child is wounded. How can we discover our inner child and nurture it back to wholeness?

Re-Parenting

• Giving yourself the nurturing, affection and recognition you need to heal your inner child.
• Giving yourself the guidance, direction and self-discipline needed to gain self-control and to accept personal responsibility for your own life.
• Letting go of self-pity over your being neglected or abused as a child and taking charge of your life.
• Creating a bond between the adult you and inner child you to give you a sense of security, self-confidence and self-worth.

• Accepting yourself the way you are in an unconditional way with no regrets or self-hatred over what you “should’’ have been. Source – James J Messina, PhD, psychologist from the internet.
