Inner Child Work: The Missing Key to Healing You Didn’t Know You Needed

If you’ve been doing the mindset work… noticing your self-abandonment… becoming aware of your inner critic… and still feeling stuck, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we go deeper. Inner child work isn’t about blaming your parents or rewriting your childhood. It’s about understanding that your nervous system learned what safety, love, and danger felt like when you were young. And those patterns don’t disappear just because you grow up. I share my own story of anxiety, insomnia, medication shame, high-functioning survival mode, and the moment I realized my body was reacting to something much older than my current circumstances. This is the episode where we stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and start asking, “What happened to me?” What You’ll Learn in This Episode What inner child work actually is (and what it’s not) How early nervous system learning shapes adult anxiety and triggers The difference between big “T” trauma and little “t” trauma Why minimizing your childhood experiences keeps you stuck How shame keeps your nervous system braced A simple, practical way to begin inner child check-ins Why triggers are signals, not character flaws About Beth Beth is a somatic coach, breathwork facilitator, and speaker who helps women and leaders move from survival mode into safety, self-trust, and authentic expression.
