Heal your Inner Child
Based on the work of chapter 1 of my bestselling book, Heal your Inner Wounds, we go beyond the scope of the book. These are active healing sessions that could transform your inner pain and heal your inner wounds, if you let them.
Why we need to Heal our Inner Child
Your Inner Child Needs Your Love
When we didn’t get what we needed or wanted as a child, that aspect of us froze in time, and is carried through to us here, now, even though we are adult. We can find ourselves acting in a child-like manner including:
- throwing a temper tantrum when we don't get what we want
- getting overly emotional when we don't get our way
- believing that we are unloved and unwanted
- not being able to say no when we know we need to
- putting other people's needs ahead of our own
- experiencing anxiety in situations where nothing is wrong
Our inner child aspect, if not healed, works out of us as the adult, magnifying the needs that were not met. We can actually give everything our inner child needs to ourselves now that we have grown. We just need to know how, give ourselves permission to do it, and bring our inner child along with us for the ride.
Learning how to recognise the inner child in ourselves, and to work with it, heal it, transform it is some of the most rewarding healing work you can ever do. Based on my many years as a therapist, I draw from my client work and my own personal healing journey. Working with the material in my book and with the material from the group we will go on a journey into the inner child, to a landscape of hope, magic and love, to heal what is aching, to rekindle a relationship with joy, to heal your inner child wounding.
It does not matter whether you have worked with me before, or not. All you need to bring with you to this online programme is your intention to heal.
Programme Content
We all have different child-like energies – the caregiver, the magical thinker, innocent and playful, and when we have a lack of fun and joy in our adult life, it is possibly due to inner wounding.
In my book Heal your Inner Wounds I look at:
-
The Abandoned Child – learning how to give and receive love
-
The Caregiver Child – learning how to say no
-
The Wounded Child – learning how to have fun without guilt
I cover all of these archetypes in this session and more – including
-
The Magical Child – when you feel you don’t fit in
-
The Invisible Child – wanting to hide and not be seen
-
The Nature Child – not being able to be present in life
There are three video sessions, each one is approx 60-90 minutes long and is filled with healing to help you travel into the issues and do the work at a deeper level.
When you sign up you get the first session right away, then have one week to complete it. The second and third sessions will be delivered automatically over the following 3 weeks. You will be offered the option of doing homework, it is totally up to you how deep you dive in.

Session 1: Meeting your Inner Child
-
We look at all the different types of inner child wounding, how that wounding spills into the adult, there is a deep healing session to release fear around healing and to connect you to your inner child aspect. We then close with optional homework for you to do between sessions.

-
Session 2: Release Child-like Patterns
-
You get this 7 days after the first session. We look at how your wounding plays out in your adult self, there is a deep healing to help release you from the energetic patterns of this wounding, and then we do a power retrieval so you are more able to stand fully in your power as the responsible adult that you are. Then we will reconnect to the wounded child so you can hold them and heal them yourself. This is a practice that you can then incorporate into your daily life, for the rest of your life.

-
Session 3: Coming into Balance
-
7 days after the second session. We follow up from the previous sessions, covering questions that people on the live programme had while we recorded it. We look at how you, the empowered responsible adult, can support yourself in day to day life while holding and supporting your inner child at the same time. There will be more clearing and healing, and another chance to release and transform what is in the way of you embracing joy.
-
These sessions are designed to be listened to more than once, so you can go deeper into different patterns and work with different aspects of yourself who appear to you at different ages. You might like to join my Healing Circle for additional support as you work through the programme.
About Self-Paced Programmes
Self-paced means exactly that - you do it at your own pace. You are empowered in your healing process when you take a self-paced programme because completing it is totally up to you.
Where Heal your Inner Child is scheduled to be delivered to you one each week for 3 weeks, you can take longer than 3 weeks to do each session, or you can sit them as they are delivered to you, complete the entire programme, then do it again.
The work is in layers - there is more here than you will hear on first listen. Repetition will help you peel back what is here and now for you, but there is always more.
You can also do half a session, work with what has come up for you, and then go back to it in your own time. Just note that in my sessions there is healing, so if you stop in the middle of a section where healing is being offered to you, your energy field may be open, and that could have an impact on you depending on what you are doing next.
Here's something you can do to close it down yourself, if you are needing to step away from the work:
-
Visualise a bubble of golden light surrounding your energy field and your physical body completely.
-
Feel it solidifying, and containing you in your current state
-
Then spend a moment or two checking-in with yourself to ask yourself if you are okay before you commence your next activity.
Remember - you might go into a healing process which means that emotions can come up for you as they are leaving your body. Don't ask yourself what the emotion is, just allow it to move through you as it is clearing. Breathe through it if it becomes intense. you can also take time outside in nature - go for a walk, or give yourself space to cry if needed.
You may need to have additional support while you do the work of this programme. I am available, if necessary, for one to one sessions. If you feel you need additional support during this online programme you can also order pure energy healing sessions.
As I said in the first paragraph, completing a programme is totally up to you. You also have the opportunity to go deeper with a programme once you have completed it. Make a date in your diary for 6 months time to give yourself space to digest the programme materials, then come back and do it again, and go deeper.
Finally - you may feel like you're on your own doing this as you are in full control, however there are many people working through these self-paced programmes and they're all invited to join my healing chat group. Come in and introduce yourself, ask a question, meet like-minded people. How much you share is totally up to you, just know that you are not alone.
