Transmuting Shame Through Reparenting The Inner Child

In this episode, I’m talking about inner child healing, reparenting, and what it really means to meet the parts of yourself that still feel scared, unseen, or stuck in old survival patterns.

This work is deeply personal to me as it has been the gateway to truly understanding my own patterns and behaviors. The awareness of our relationship with the little being inside of us illuminates how childhood wounds continue to shape our adult reactions, and why healing starts by getting curious about what is actually beneath the trigger.

I break down the difference between the inner child, the outer child, and the adult self, and why so much of what we call “self-sabotage” may not actually be what it sounds like.

Highlights:

(02:04) - Why inner child work is the gateway to understanding self

(07:05) - Childhood conditioning - how and why it still runs the show

(12:28) - The reason this work is vital for healing trauma

(19:43) - That “self-sabotage” is mislabeled (in my humble opinion)

(24:42) - The difference between the inner child, outer child, and adult self as explained by Susan Anderson

(32:56) - Some gentle guidance on ways to reparent your inner child for deeper healing
