Healing Childhood Trauma & Emotional Wounds
Inner Child Work & Reparenting Therapy
Your Childhood Story Matters. Your Healing Matters Even More.
What Childhood Emotional Wounds Look Like
Childhood trauma happens when the emotional needs of a child are not met consistently—whether through neglect, chaos, criticism, parentification, emotional distance, or instability. Even the most well-intentioned parents can leave wounds when they themselves are unhealed. These early experiences often become the blueprint for how you relate, cope, protect yourself, and navigate the world. This page is where we gently explore those younger parts of you who had to grow up too fast, stay small, stay quiet, or stay strong.
Understanding Your Younger Self
CHILDHOOD TRAUMA MAY SHOW UP TODAY AS:
Chronic self-doubt or low self-worth
People-pleasing, perfectionism, fear of conflict
Emotional numbing, overthinking, anxiety
Difficulty trusting others or forming deep relationships
Attracting emotionally unavailable partners
Feeling “not enough” in relationships or work
These wounds didn’t start in adulthood- they began with a younger version of you who needed mores support, safety, and connection.
Inner Child Healing & Reparenting
Inner child healing gives those parts of you—your younger self—a voice, a place, and the compassion they always deserved.
We’ll gently explore the beliefs and coping strategies you developed as a child:
How you learned to see safety, love, and worthiness
The emotional needs you learned to suppress
The ways you learned to protect yourself
Inner child work allows you to:
Reconnect with younger parts of you
Validate their feelings, fears, and unmet needs
Provide the care and safety they lacked
REPARENTING ALLOWS YOU TO:
Build internal emotional safety
Cultivate self-trust and self-worth
Regulate your nervous system
Develop healthier coping and emotional habits
This work is the foundation of deep emotional healing.
Attachment and Early Emotional Environment
Childhood trauma also affects how you attach to others. Together, we understand how your early environment shaped your:
How you attach to others
Your capacity for emotional expression
Boundaries and trust in relationships
Nervous system regulation
When you heal these roots, you open the door to:
Greater emotional resilience
Deeper, more secure relationships
A healthier sense of self
Healing these wounds creates space for healthier relationships—with yourself and others.
