Inner Family

Therapists often refer to the “inner child” that is integral to our bad behaviors and undesired emotions. Many believe that it is not just a single “child” but rather multiple children. Each one representing a major traumatic experience from our youth, generally from infancy to our teenage years. One child may make you shy, one may make you fearful, while another may make you aggressive. This collection of your many inner children is sometimes described by some professionals as your inner family. Each member of your internal family has a different boogey man, and each need healing.
