Do you ever catch yourself reacting to situations with the same intensity you felt as a teenager? Perhaps you shrink in important meetings, feeling that same insecurity you experienced in high school. Or maybe you still hear that critical inner voice telling you you're not good enough – the one that first emerged during those turbulent teenage years.

Do unresolved emotions or traumas from your past continue to influence your present-day reactions and choices? In the journey of self-discovery and personal growth, one important aspect to consider is the inner child—the part of ourselves that retains childhood memories, emotions, and beliefs. Our inner child influences our behaviours, relationships and emotional responses, profoundly shaping our adult lives. 

In the reparenting journey, nurturing your inner child is a powerful way to heal past wounds and provide the love and support you may not have received in your formative years. This activity will guide you in imagining your inner child and writing a compassionate letter acknowledging their feelings and needs.
