I tried to do some "inner child" therapy work and I don't know if it worked or not but it sure was emotionally powerful. I had to find a time and place where I could relax and focus uninterrupted, and then I was supposed to imagine myself as my now-adult self, going back in time and walking in on a situation where I was being abused, stand up to the abuser and defeat them, and then rescue and console my child-self and say very important things to her. I did the exercise as instructed and in earnest, and it honestly stunned me how much it made me cry.
