This is such a good read. Inner Child Healing is so important but so often overlooked. Have a good Monday! 💚💚💚
Some people do not begin grieving their childhood until adulthood because childhood survival often looks like “I’m fine.”
You may have spent years telling yourself:
“It wasn’t that bad.”
“At least they provided for me.”
“Other people had it worse.”
“I should be over this by now.”
But emotional wounds do not disappear just because time has passed.
Sometimes healing begins when you finally have enough safety to admit what hurt you.
To name what was missing.
To grieve what you needed but never received.
To understand that your people-pleasing, hyper-independence, anxiety, overthinking, fear of rejection, or difficulty trusting love may not be random.
They may be adaptations from a childhood where you had to survive instead of simply being a child.
There is no shame in realizing the truth later.
There is no deadline for grieving.
And there is no age limit on healing.
If this resonates, I Didn’t Choose to Be Born explores childhood trauma, emotional neglect, dysfunctional family dynamics, parentification, the mother wound, the father wound, and healing the parts of you that had to grow up too soon.
And Chasing Love That Hurts explores how those childhood wounds can later show up as limerence, anxious attachment, emotional fixation, and chasing emotionally unavailable people.
