Here is a good definition of what is our inner child:

Many times, when we get in touch with our inner child, we start crying/sobbing very deeply. I believe we do this because for so long, we have either denied our inner child or have just not been in touch with the feelings of our inner child.

I remember my first time getting in touch with my inner child. My t was wonderful and extremely supportive through this journey. What I began to learn about my inner child is how often she felt unheard, uncared about or unloved. While those feelings began inside me when I was a child, they also continued through adulthood because I was not "in touch" with her for so long until I went to t. Many times inner children are very sad. But I can say that inner children are often able to be comforted and to help come out of the darkness and into the light of love and acceptance and healing.

I found that once I was able to help my inner child heal, it was easier for me, as the adult to begin healing as well. I think we are very connected to our inner children and many times don't even know it.

I hope you continue working with your inner child. I think you will find it very rewarding. I think you will also be able to feel as though a weight is lifted off you and you can find fun again in your life. Fun is so important in balancing out the daily struggles of adulthood.
