EP 60: How to Do Inner Child Work to Open to your Healing Power

With Nicole barton

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is diving into one of the core elements of the path that helps women heal themselves and move from mundane lives to a life of magic: inner child work. She explores what ‘healing’ even is, as well as some common misconceptions about working with our inner child, and the popular ‘do we need fixing?’ debate.

In this episode we explore why inner child work is so important and how we can open to begin our healing journey, from a place of loving alchemy, tending, softness and expansion - and how important it actually is when we desire to manifest more magical lives.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

Inner child work is not about ‘fixing’ - we need to remove the ‘blame’ and the sense that something is ‘wrong’ with our wounded little girl if we are to get anywhere with healing ourselves
The reason why inner child work is so important is because largely, it is our unconscious inner child who is manifesting for us - without us even knowing.
The path of healing requires deep love for the tender young parts of ourselves that are trying to create for us (which we are largely unconscious of).
It’s helpful to see our inner child as a real, live human who is trying to let us know she is scared - and to treat her as you would an innocently scared loved one.
If we are missing inner child work in our healing, then we are missing the true art of healing - and yet, we must also work with her in a way that is generative and holding her hand to move towards magic.
