Practice Reparenting Your Inner Child :

Through reparenting , you can give yourself the love , care , and nurturing you may not have received in the way you needed it as a child .

This healing process helps to release the emotional trauma and pain that comes from not having your needs met as a child . It assures your inner child that while you may have been in situations that weren ’ t safe then , you are a loving parent who will keep your inner child safe . In other words , you got her !

Here are a few ways to do this : Write a letter to your inner child and allow her to respond by writing back to you . Say nurturing things to your inner child such as I love you , I appreciate you , I value you , I ’ m proud of you , I see you , and I hear you . Look at photos of yourself as a child and tell her everything she needed to hear then ; allow her to receive it now . Reflect on what you loved doing when you were a child and make time to do those things now . Engage in meditation and creative visualization with your inner child .

Practice a Forgiveness Visualization :

Visualize yourself , your mother , your father , or any other figures from your childhood you need to forgive as beautiful souls of light .
