042 - What Inner Child Work Actually Is

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).
