Meet and Parent your Inner Child

What can this approach change for you?

Imagine meeting the little protective parts of you created in childhood, often formed to help you feel accepted, loved, or safe. They served a purpose back then, helping you navigate people and situations when you didn’t yet have the adult tools you have today. They protected little you when she needed them most but they never learned it was OK to step back when they no longer serve the adult you became.

Your inner child still holds the younger parts of you that experienced life before you had the understanding, confidence and emotional resources you have today.

As children, we learn how to show up through what happens around us especially with avoiding discomfort. We learn what we think love looks like, how to play roles of what is expected of us, what behaviours earned approval and made us feel safe. Little you was clever. She adapted.

Those adaptations may have protected you beautifully then, as an adult they can impact our choices, self-worth and inability to understand boundaries. I call these younger protective parts your ‘Little Security Team’. You might meet ‘Little Mum’, who learned to care for everyone around her, ‘Little Harmony’, who worked hard to keep everything calm or Little Mouse, who discovered that sometimes the safest thing was to stay small and keep a low profile.

Your Security Team can be unique to you. Through this work, we'll discover who they are, meet them, understand why they arrived and whether they still need to do the same job today. This isn't about blaming the past or the people in it. It's about understanding what little you learned to do to navigate her world, so adult you has the freedom to choose differently.

Ash makes the vulnerable parts of little me feel seen, safe and heard. She gently encourages me to consider things differently, it’s been wonderfully eye opening. I always leave feeling more in charge of my own choices and myself.

They need to know someone finally came back for them. That someone is you.
