If you are a survivor of childhood trauma, it often feels as if you must be the only one in the world carrying such pain, shame, and grief. But you must know you are not alone. You MUST know Healing is always possible and accessible. I know I am healing my inner child when I feel flow, joy, laughter, and creativity. In this episode, I share how I combine inner child work with a daily gratitude practice. I provide gentle guidance on how you can start your gratitude practice through journaling. In gratitude to my younger self for carrying me through my present life, here and now. I have a gratitude practice in which an app reminds me to write three things I am grateful for 3x a day. Everyday For this episode, I invited mental health therapist Cynthia A. Perez, LCSW from @rooted_in_reflection to talk about inner child healing, life transitions, and creativity. Cynthia shares about her journey of recovery from a toxic work environment. She shares how she re-connected with her inner child by embracing change, joy, creativity, & flow. Cynthia is a 1st Gen Therapist working towards decolonization through creative arts. Cynthia has created unique spaces to honor the inner child and let our adult selves play again. Till this day I wouldn’t say I like the sound of my voice. But I sit through that discomfort. It gets easier. I have realized it was my INNER niña, showing up screaming that staying quiet is safer than speaking up. So I decided to use each podcast to show up for that little niña, to gently practice that WE are safe, even when we are speaking up, using our voice, & taking space. Healing my inner child still involves connecting through meditation and contemplation. However, as a working mom, I don’t always get a chance to set time aside to connect in such a way. About 2 years ago I decided to have a daily intention to connect and heal my inner child throughout my day. From my food to how I move my body, playing with my child, leisure, and plain ole fun! It is OKAY to take cues from our day-to-day routine to nourish/connect/heal our INNER child. This is what I call healing in action! How can your daily routine be more healing for your inner child? How are you reparenting your inner child simply by trying to live your best life? How is your inner child thriving through new daily choices you prioritize? This is a tool to return to a different timeline and give healing to your younger self. Your lived experiences can be seen from the analogy of a hologram. Within the hologram, we can take a comprehensive bird’s-eye view of the simultaneous timelines within our current existence. In the holographic picture of your past timelines, you can experience and nourish your inner child. This is a powerful tool for self-healing. You can provide for the needs of your inner child and to do so regularly as you heal the past and provide for the needs of your younger self. As we take care of the needs of our inner child, we also nourish our adult needs. This is a beautiful healing process for its practical uses and reveals how we can all heal our past timelines. Our body is the landing place of all trauma. Mindful connection and tending to the body is the key to healing. The endless reservoir of healing energy is within you. Your body is your ally in the healing journey. We can heal our trauma by giving our body all the tenderness, softness, love, and attention it is asking for today. When we pay attention, we heal. How does your body communicate? What signals is your body sending you? How can you tend to your body today?
