Inner Child Healing

You’ll start with a clear introduction to the concept of healing your inner child, including why it's important and how early experiences can shape emotional patterns. You'll also explore psychological theories around trauma, the formation of the “false self,” and the lasting impact of unmet childhood needs. As your understanding grows, you’ll explore:

• The healing potential of inner child work to address deep emotional wounds.
• Inner child healing techniques to support your own journey or inform non-clinical support roles.
• The effects of unresolved childhood experiences on adult self-image and relationships.
• How to compassionately approach themes like neglect, denial, and personal responsibility.

Learn from Key Thinkers in the Field

You’ll be introduced to theories by influential figures in psychology and personal development, including:

• Carl Jung – and his exploration of the psyche and the shadow.
• Alice Miller – known for her work on childhood trauma and emotional truth.
• Eric Berne – creator of Transactional Analysis.
• John Bradshaw – whose writing on shame and the inner child has reached millions.

Their work is presented for educational and reflective purposes, offering context and guidance on how emotional patterns form and evolve.

Practical Exercises and Illustrative Case Studies

In addition to theory, this course offers practical exercises like guided journaling, creative visualisations, and expressive techniques. These inner child healing exercises can help support your own emotional growth and enhance your understanding when working with others in non-clinical settings.

You’ll also explore self-care strategies, boundaries, compassion fatigue, and ethical considerations essential to any kind of supportive role.
