THINGS YOUR INNER CHILD NEEDS TO HEAR:
* You deserved to be loved and nurtured.
* I believe you.
* You are priceless.
* You are enough.
* You didn't deserve what happened to you.
* Your feelings matter. Your thoughts are important.
* I'm proud of you.
* You shouldn't have had to grow up seeing the things you saw.
Healing is a personal journey. It's not always an easy road. It requires talking about feelings and emotions that are not always comfortable to discuss.
When people experience childhood trauma or chronic family problems growing up, the problems don't automatically disappear when they become adults. Sometimes, the depression or anxiety stays, or maybe the chaos never went away. Some individuals can inadvertently pick up toxic behavior patterns or never gain a sense of peace.
If this is you, find a therapist to help you navigate through these challenges and find your peace, heal your inner child.
