Mother Wound and Inner Child

The Mother Wound and the Inner Child are deeply interconnected and healing one often supports the healing of the other.

Mother Wound

The mother wound refers to the emotional pain and beliefs we carry from our early experiences with our mother or primary caregiver. It can show up as:

• Feelings of not being enough
• Difficulty receiving or giving love
• Seeking approval or validation
• Self-sabotage or low self-worth
• Over-giving or people-pleasing

These wounds are often unconscious and shape how we show up in relationships, work and life.

Inner Child

The inner child is the part of us that still holds all the earlier memories, emotions, fears, and joys from childhood. It carries our:

• Innocence
• Curiosity
• Emotional pain
• Unmet needs
• Joy and creativity

When the mother wound is present, the inner child often feels unsafe, unheard or unloved and this creates emotional blocks or repetitive patterns in adulthood.

How They Connect

• The inner child stores the pain caused by unmet emotional needs from the mother.
• The mother wound becomes the root of inner child distress influencing our sense of safety, trust, and identity.
• Healing the mother wound helps restore emotional balance to the inner child, allowing them to feel loved, supported and worthy again.
• When the inner child feels seen and healed, we start experiencing healthier relationships, greater self-love, and emotional freedom.

Acknowledging and softening the Mother Wound, leads you to be more emotionally available and prepared to meet your Inner Child with compassion and clarity. It is the first step towards healing your Inner Child.
