Inner child work

 

How to transform beliefs, patterns and blockages

to create a fulfilled and happy life.

 

Inner child work – Who am I?

Everyone has the right to be happy!
I read this sentence during a phase in my life when I was doing very badly. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud – because for me it was simply not credible.
I felt misunderstood, abandoned, and it seemed as if my problems would never end. I began to doubt myself and my path in life, and I kept having negative thoughts about myself. If someone had asked me at the time, ‘What do you want?’ I couldn’t have given a clear answer. All I wanted was to finally feel joy again in the beautiful moments of life.
During this difficult time, I came across the work with the inner child. Suddenly I realised: there are one or more inner children inside me waiting to be healed.

How can I recognise undivided aspects of my inner child?

Unhealed aspects of the inner child are parts of ourselves that have arisen from unhealed experiences or emotional wounds from the past. They can show up in a variety of ways, often in the form of recurring emotional patterns or distressing behaviours. Here are some signs that might indicate that such aspects of the inner child are active in you:

1. Emotional reactions

  • Excessive emotional intensity: You react disproportionately strongly to certain situations, e.g. with extreme anger, fear or sadness.
  • Sudden relapses into childlike behaviour: You suddenly feel helpless, angry or defiant like a child in conflicts or difficult moments.
  • Unresolved longings: A strong need for recognition, love or security that never seems to be fully satisfied.

2. Recurrent patterns in relationships

  • Fear of closeness or of being abandoned: Difficulties in maintaining stable and healthy relationships because you either cling too tightly or withdraw.
  • Conflicts from childhood in current relationships: You project old wounds or expectations, e.g. of parents, onto partners, friends or colleagues.

3. Self-doubt and self-esteem issues

  • Critical inner voice: You often speak disparagingly to yourself, don’t feel good enough or constantly compare yourself to others.
  • Perfectionism or fear of making mistakes: Constant pressure to do everything right for fear of not being accepted or of being rejected.

4. Avoidance and resistance

  • Avoiding certain situations or emotions: You have difficulties dealing with certain topics, such as conflict, loss or vulnerability.
  • Resistance to change: Although you want change, something is holding you back, often related to old protective mechanisms.

5. Physical symptoms and psychosomatic complaints

  • Unclear physical complaints: In particular, symptoms such as abdominal pain, tension or sleep problems can be associated with emotional stress.
  • Reaction to triggers: Certain places, words, smells or people trigger physical tension or emotional unrest.

6. Repeated self-sabotage

  • Obstacles in everyday life: You recognise that you sabotage yourself at important moments, e.g. by putting off tasks or not taking advantage of opportunities.
  • Inner conflict: One part of you wants to move forward, while another part keeps holding you back.

7. Feeling of emptiness or disorientation

  • Vague yearning: You feel a deep emptiness or are searching for something that seems out of reach.
  • Forlornness: A feeling of being stuck inside or not knowing what you actually want.

How can you respond to this?

These signs are not weaknesses, but valuable indications that certain parts of you need attention and healing. Inner child work offers you the opportunity to explore these aspects, to get in touch with them and to integrate them lovingly.

Inner child work or inner child

What is that anyway?

The inner child describes those parts of ourselves that have significantly shaped our feelings, behaviour and values from the earliest imprints to the present day.

These inner parts form the centre of our emotional world and are often the source of seemingly unsolvable challenges in our lives. No other part of our consciousness shapes our personality as profoundly as the inner child.

It is here that we decide whether we are rather carefree or cautious, loving or withdrawn in life.

Our inner children long for healing and liberation. They make our true needs visible. Often these unconscious parts first express themselves in the form of psychological stress and later also on a physical level.

In our seminars, you will learn to recognise these inner parts and to get in touch with them. This way, you can release and heal traumatic experiences and painful memories from the past. Behavioural patterns that block us today are often survival strategies from earlier phases of life. They remain unconsciously active in us if we do not consciously work on and transform them. The more intensively we deal with ourselves and our lives, the more clearly these inner voices demand our attention.

The subconscious, often equated with the inner child, makes up an impressive 90 to 99% of our conscious mind. By comparison, our conscious thinking, with its 1 to 10%, is only a dwarf. Conflicts arise when the subconscious and consciousness pursue different goals.

The subconscious mind functions like an automatism – it reacts impulsively, like a child. To change it, we have to approach it gently, speak to it as we would a small child and explain that we are no longer helpless babies. Only in this way can we convince it to break new ground.

Why inner child work is so important!

For me, working with the inner child is one of the most effective and at the same time simplest methods for recognising, clarifying and dissolving limiting programmes such as beliefs and emotional patterns. These programmes are deeply rooted in our subconscious and often influence us without us noticing.

Our experiences are stored in our subconscious like photographs. These images combine to create a film that represents our very personal ‘home cinema’. For the subconscious, this film is reality. The very first filter through which our subconscious perceives the world is the birth experience – an event that is often experienced as a shock. All later experiences are interpreted and subjectively evaluated through this filter.

What we perceive with our five senses is what we call ‘reality’. But what is the difference between a photograph and the real person? A photo is flat, motionless, past – an illusion. A person, on the other hand, is alive, three-dimensional and changing every moment.
For example, if you are bitten by a dog, your subconscious mind immediately stores that experience. Years later, the mere sight of a dog in a similar situation can activate your inner child. It remembers the emotions stored at that time, and you react emotionally to this memory. Emotions are often nothing more than an echo of past experiences. We see the dog – or rather, the ‘photo’ of that dog in our head – and feel panic, even though the actual moment is long gone.

 

 

We are always in our home cinema and that is also where we perceive real life.

 

 

We are in a kind of everyday trance, more asleep than awake.

What is reality?

The film of your life

Major events and incidents can wake us up, such as marriage, the birth of a child, separation, accidents, illness, the death of someone close to us, etc. Once we have overcome these, we sink back into our everyday trance.
If you are in the film, you first have to solve the problem so that you can step out of the film. The problem must first be understood by the BS. Then the UBS must gain insight and accept the solution. The UBS should be made aware that it is more important to be in the now than to keep your mind occupied with the dead past. To get out, we have to watch the film again, but not take it seriously and not get involved. We make it clear to the UBS that it is only an unimportant, old film.
We see the world through our inner images and filters. That is not reality. Everything related to the future is a projection of the past. Our UBS is our bodyguard, which ensures our survival, a bodyguard that wants to protect us from danger.

Self-awareness and healing

What is the aim of this work?

The aim of working with our inner child is to recognise, understand and heal hidden emotional wounds, old belief patterns and unconscious behaviours. It invites us to find a loving approach to the younger parts of ourselves, which have often been shaped by past experiences and influence our lives today.

The core aim is to establish contact with these inner parts in order to heal deep-rooted wounds that we may have carried since childhood. These wounds can manifest themselves in the form of self-doubt, fears or relationship patterns that repeatedly push us to the same emotional limits.
A central goal of inner child work is to build a sense of security and safety within ourselves. By learning to treat ourselves with compassion, understanding and forgiveness, we can let go of the burdensome experiences of the past and make room for new growth.

Another aspect is integration: the inner children not only want to be heard and healed, but also to be integrated into our adult selves. This integration allows us to fully develop our potential, as we are no longer limited by unconscious, old patterns.
At the end of this journey is self-empowerment: we become aware that we have authority over our lives and no longer have to be determined by the shadows of the past. By working with the inner child, we can experience deep peace, authentic joy of life and emotional freedom.
