Are you doing inner child healing and reparenting work, getting results, but still experiencing times when your inner child pushes back, has a tantrum, or reverts to old fears or emotional extremes?
In this teaching, we explain why the inner child behaves like this and what you can do to work with your inner child to gently restore inner balance.
With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).
