The Wounded Inner Child

Your shadow lives in the child who never felt safe.

Your shadow carries the unmet needs of a younger version of you — the one who needed to be seen, held, and told they were enough. That child is still running patterns in your adult life. Meeting them changes everything.

What this means

The inner child shows up in adult relationships as needs that feel embarrassing, fears that seem outsized, and hungers that can't be named.

Your child wound is not weakness. It's the part of you that survived without what it needed.

The work is not to silence that child but to reparent them — to give now what was missing then.
