I keep finding references to inner child work - journaling, parenting your inner child, dialogue with inner child, etc.
Honestly it strikes me as woo-woo and weird and embarrassing. I'm uncomfortable with the idea.

BUT - if it actually works, I'm willing to put that aside and give it a try. I'd learn to stand on my hands if I thought it'd help me get past these issues.

So I'm wondering if anyone here has tried this sort of thing, and how it went for them.
Thank you!!!!
