There’s a little part of all of us that
wants to be held when we feel sad.
It holds on to when you walked up to that boy on the playground and asked if he wanted to be your best friend and he said yes without hesitation.
It craves to hear the words “I love you” when we feel ashamed, embarrassed, or scared.
This part of us loves the way our body looks and wants everyone else to feel the same way.
This part of us is playful and full of curiosity.
It wants to be silly without fear of judgement.
It remembers and repeats your reaction when your parents danced or yelled at each other in the kitchen.
Protection and a sense of belonging runs deep in this region of us and feels a little lost and scared of you didn’t receive either as a kid.
It remembers when people cheered for us (or didn’t) when we stood up to sing at the Christmas concerts…
It’s the pet of us that echos the words your teachers said when you aced a test or didn’t do your homework.
It holds on to how your body felt when bullies were relentless…
And how your body felt when you got your first kiss.
It runs so deep and impacts every part of your life.
This part of you is called your Inner Child.
And she/he wants to be healed.
