Healing Childhood Trauma With Holistic Coaching & Hypnosis
Childhood trauma can come in many forms. It can be something as major as abuse or neglect, or it could be something as minor as being teased by other children. Whatever the form is, by tapping into the energy from those experiences through alternative healing modalities such as positive reframing, breath work, sound, and hypnosis, you will discover profound change can be had in your inner and outer world.
In every real man, a child is hidden that wants to play.
What Is An Inner Child?
We all were once children, and that child still lives inside each one of us. This child often needs our attention and brings with it old beliefs and patterns that we have carried throughout our lives. This child is your inner child, and we must nurture and take care of it just like you would a real child to feel safe, secure, and peaceful in the world.
The inner child is the part of you that still craves love, attention, and validation. It needs bonding, compassion, and understanding so that it can trust the universe and feel confident, supported, and successful.
Your inner child is the part of you that remains childlike and innocent, no matter how old you become. This vulnerable side of you may have been hurt or neglected in childhood, causing you to develop negative patterns of thinking and behaving that have followed you into adulthood.
When your inner child is healthy and happy, you feel joyful, creative, and alive. The child is a source of enjoyment, fun, happiness, spontaneity, and laughter. But when your inner child is wounded, you may feel scared, alone, and unworthy of love.
Healing your inner child can help you break free from harmful patterns or painful experiences so that you can step into living your best life. Connecting to this child can also create a new sense of security and freedom.
The concept of the inner child was first proposed by psychologist Carl Jung after he examined his own childlike inner-feelings and emotions. Jung postulated that it was this inside part of all of us that influenced all we do and the decisions that we make. Inner children were us when we were kids that never grew up. They are who holds all the memories and emotions, good or bad, that we experienced.
What Are The Benefits Of Accessing My Inner Child?
The goal of accessing your inner child is to bring peace and resolution to the unresolved issues from your childhood so that you can relive those memories in a new way that meets the needs of that child inside of you. It is also for you to access a new sense of wonder like you once did as a child and offer a loving companion to this part of you that still calls for attention.
Presenting issues that your inner child may be holding onto can be anything from abandonment, abuse, neglect, psychological trauma, sexual abuse, or feeling unloved. By resolving these issues or by releasing the energy associated with them you can bring peace and calm back to your body and your mind. Your inner self can offer this child new memories of love, nurturing, and guidance bringing you back to that wholeness.
It is generally recognized that if you experienced any type of emotional trauma in childhood this can result in psychological problems later in life. This can also affect physical problems as well which in the body manifest itself in other areas.
As children, our feelings were how we expressed our basic needs for love, freedom, play, food, attention, companionship, and affection. If any of our basic needs were not met in any fundamental part of our development stages as a child, these were carried over still unmet to the next part of our lives.
These unmet needs and usually the feelings associated with them then become repressed and are stored in our physical and emotional bodies. This creates complexes, unhealthy patterns, habits, addictions, negative core beliefs, stress responses, and behaviors that come alive in our everyday adult life.
Even if those needs are now being met on a conscious level, we will still experience those repressed feelings that can easily be activated by a past event that is no longer happening. Our feelings then are no longer accurate representations to our actual environment, but triggers from old responses that we had as children as they become re-stimulated from the external circumstances of our lives.
With the help of a skilled consulting hypnotist and the power of suggestion, you can use the right tools to turn those negative experiences into positive, healthy ones. Coupling this with NLP and coaching help support this change and make it easily integrated into your daily life.
Through advanced techniques you can re-parent yourself, giving yourself the love, attention, and care that you have been searching for outside of yourself.
What Are The Steps To Accessing My Inner Child?
The first step to accessing your inner child is to become aware of them. This may take some time and introspection but it the most important part is the realization that this person exists within you. You may want to journal about your childhood experiences or talk to a therapist about them. You can look at photos of you as a child and start to see the different versions of this child as they learned to navigate the world.
Once you have a basic understanding of who your inner child is, you can begin to connect with them. This can be done through various methods such as visualization, meditation, or even just spending time alone in nature. It is important to find a method that works for you and that you feel comfortable with.
Hypnotherapy is an effective tool that can be used to connect with your inner child in a safe space. This is because it allows you to access the unconscious mind, which is where your inner child resides. Using hypnosis, you can explore your childhood experiences in a safe and non-judgmental environment, cultivating a new connection within.

There was a client who had a severe eating disorder for decades and had tried every known method to control it. During a session she went back to the root of the feeling that she was experiencing every time the dis-order was active.
It was here that she found her child who had feelings of abandonment in the morning time around food as her parents would sleep in and not be available to give comfort and love to her when she arose.
When she was able to comfort and give this little girl what she needed at that time she found subsequently that the symptom of her binging after the session went away. She is still free from her disordered eating many years later and can walk down the aisles of previously triggering foods with peace.
