Inner Child Work

Things I wish I could go back and tell little miss Wonder Woman Danielle:

🌟You really are Wonder Woman ‼️ You just don’t know it yet.

🌟You have no idea what’s comin’ but you’re strong and you were made for all of it.

🌟 Trust your gut. It’s never wrong.

🌟 I know you struggle with shyness, but if you only knew how many people want to be your friend.

🌟Keep challenging those teachers at school when they’re treating The Hulk there unkindly. He relies on you and looks up to you. Your feisty ness is your friend.

🌟 Don’t ever quit the piano. It will be a saving grace for you often, and you don’t know it now, but you’re going to grow up and be a piano teacher yourself someday. Surprise! So don’t quit!

🌟 Savor every minute with your grandma. Every minute.

🌟 Savor every minute with little Mini Mouse and The Hulk. You were meant to be siblings.

🌟 Start now with writing your poetry and writing in your journal. You need to write, write, write.

🌟 Keep dancing. Pay attention to Michael Jackson, especially. He’s one to watch...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Have you ever done inner child work? I had a really gifted therapist in Seattle who had me do this kind of work. It was amazing.

She taught me that inner child work is about being warm and loving to yourself if that was missing sometimes as a child.

Every time I did the work, I felt a powerful cathartic shift of self compassion. 

Do you believe as an adult that you’re in need of this kind of work? I can help you. It’s beautiful stuff.  

In my coaching practice, I’ve designed a three week session series that focuses on this kind of work. DM here or on the website under Free Consultation. ⬇️

As we work together,  doing the work of meeting your needs as an adult, you’ll be simultaneously doing that for you inner child. So meeting your needs, consistent self-care, keeping promises to yourself, committing to care for yourself all builds the trust needed to heal old wounds.

One of my favorite therapists who goes super deep with this kind of work is Tiffany Roe of Mindful Counseling in Provo, Utah. If you think you need a therapist versus a coach, reach out to her.

Otherwise, let me be your guide as your coach if your work is not so much about trauma as it is about gentle healing and self-compassion.

So here’s an Inner Child Work Challenge.
Find a picture of little you.
Tape her to a piece of paper and write down ten affirmations that she needs.
Connect to her and give her love. And you’re already on your way to some powerful healing!

I promise you it will be worth it. 🤗

The key is to take it on with some grace, curiosity and non-judgement. If you feel like that’s too overwhelming, then that’s your work. To build some trust and heal.

Have some fun with it.

I love you my friends.

I’ve got you.

After all, my alter ego IS Wonder Woman 😂
