Inner Child Healing Techniques For Trauma Patients

By Andrew Johnson


Trauma which begins in childhood can be dangerous when one doesn't deal with it in the early stages. It is not only sexual or physical abuse. It can be trauma of all levels. This can relate to parents who are emotionally abusive to youngsters. It can relate to bullying or neglect. Inner child healing techniques take place in therapy and can be more than helpful.

Many people think that they have received the odd punishment by aunts or uncles. They may have been exposed to pornography or voyeurism. Punishment can include violence, such as the pulling of hair, shaking and punching. Kids whose parents have divorced will struggle in years to come.

People are left with fears and phobias which they need to deal with. They are not comfortable within their own skin. They also have problems with other people who they are close to. It can include loved ones as well as those in the workplace. However, by discovering more about the underlying reasons for the fear, patients will be able to move on with their lives.

This is why the inner child technique can be so helpful. The client feels as if they are talking to themselves, while simply having the therapist observe. Over time, they will begin to connect with the psychologist and this is a natural process, which is often the best way forward. It can feel strange at first, but clients become more comfortable with the process as time goes by.

The individual will learn more about when the trauma has taken place. They realize that once upon a time they were happy, filled with joy, just like any other child. However, when they were exposed to the abuse, neglect or abandonment, for example, things began to change for them. This is where the healing process begins as the adult as one attends to the baggage that one is carrying around.

This is a journey that you will begin to go on which will improve your mental state of mind and help you on a positive note. The connection helps you to discover more about what you were feeling at that particular time. You may learn to be more mindful because this can be helpful in terms of eliminating much of the anxiety that can be part of the trauma.

This will lead to fewer problems, such as with fear, for example. People sometimes think that this is a childish technique. However, there is a difference between being childish and childlike, and this is what you will find out when you take part in this type of therapy. People begin to notice the positive changes within themselves over time.

You also need to interact with the child, getting to know more about him or her. This will include finding out about what he or she likes to do. The inner child may enjoy reading, for example. Go back in time and pick out their favourite book. This will help you to connect with him or her once again.
