042 - What Inner Child Work Actually Is

from The Worthiness Lab · host Kyra White

Inner child work isn’t about being dramatic, blaming your parents, or living in the past. It’s about understanding the parts of you that were shaped before you had language, agency, or choice — and how they still show up in your relationships today.In this episode, we explore what “inner child” actually means through the lens of attachment theory, nervous system regulation, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). We unpack the unmothered parts of the psyche — the parts that struggle with emotional safety and soothing — and the unfathered parts — the parts that struggle with boundaries, protection, and self-trust.Join Loving Without Losing Yourself
