We often separate emotional pain from physical illness assuming the body breaks down only due to diet, genetics, or lifestyle. But what if your frequent headaches, unexplained fatigue, or even chronic stress weren’t just physical issues but emotional ones rooted deep in your childhood? This is where inner child healing comes in.
An inner child wound is the emotional residue of unmet needs, rejections, or traumas you experienced as a child. Whether it was constant criticism, feeling unsafe, not being heard, or having to “grow up too soon,” these early wounds shape how you cope, connect, and carry stress as an adult.
