The inner child work in psychotherapy

Childhood is not just a phase of life.
It is a living terrain of the soul, a symbolic landscape where every footprint remains.

No matter how many years pass, we continue to walk upon this invisible ground.
We repeat patterns.
We revisit old fears.
We try to rebuild new experiences from what was lived, or left unlived.

As Freud observed, “Childhood doesn’t disappear within us. It hides.”
The unconscious carries its memories quietly, and they resurface in dreams, desires, decisions and how we are impacted by others.

How often do we meet adult life with reactions shaped by the child we once were
the sudden anger,
the fear of mistakes,
the longing for approval?
All echoes.

The child within still walks beside us, waiting to be seen and healed.
It reveals itself in how we love, protect, or withdraw.
It speaks through the inner voice that drives us or condemns us.

We return to the land of childhood every day.
It is the ground beneath our psychic and spiritual home.
And like any home, it longs for care, repair, and reconciliation.

Psychotherapy invites us to return to this inner landscape,
not to remain trapped in it,
but to understand it
to reframe what hurt,
to reclaim what is good,
and to move forward in freedom.

Because when we meet the child within with compassion,
We glimpse something divine
the original innocence that still connects us to God,
and the grace that makes healing possible
