Your therapist may have some techniques that will help you. Ask him this same question. I have heard one exercise is to try to write a question to your inner child with your dominant hand. Then allow your inner child to write back to you by using your non-dominant hand. Try to communicate with her and see what that hand writes out. (I've never tried this.)

See also this book:
Recovery of Your Inner Child: the highly acclaimed method for liberating your inner self

If you try the hand thing, I would love to hear how it goes.
