Year of the Inner Child: Touch

02/27/23 • 6 min

There's no doubt that our relationship to touch is impacted by trauma.

We are introduced to touch in all of the wrong ways.

Or...the other possibility is that you experienced neglect and a lack of touch.

Either way, we need to understand our current associations with touch and begin building new connections that give us access to this life giving, joy giving sense!

Year of the Inner Child: Savor

Savoring life is often so hard when we've experienced abuse. Instead, numb, rushed, dissociated become the norm.

But your inner child is longing to savor - to enjoy completely. And not just the "good" stuff - but it ALL!

This message arrives right on time for me as I attend to my mother's dying and I hope will serve as a powerful invitation to you today to slow it down and take it all in!

Year of the Inner Child: Healing

This week, we get to find wonderful ways to love and nurture ourselves when painful memories arise.

Most survivors of trauma become very adept at pushing away and shoving aside the pain of the past, using denial, or anger, or dissociation.

Yet – the pain keeps coming back. And it will, until it is faced and dealt with.

But one super powerful step in that process is actually just nurturing ourselves in these moments. Learning to just be with the pain, but to wrap ourselves (and our inner child) in love and reassurance.
