Frank discusses the transformative exercise of connecting with and embracing one's wounded inner child.
The podcast episodes discuss the concept of inner child work and its role in addressing trauma, attachment patterns, and self-worth issues.
The episodes highlight the importance of reconnecting with one's inner child, grieving past experiences, and practicing self-parenting or 're-parenting' to resolve lingering wounds and negative patterns.
For example, in episode 463: Navigating Relationship Anxiety, an anxious attachment coach recommends inner child work through visualization to improve self-compassion. Similarly, in episode #790 - Vienna Pharaon - How To Overcome A Difficult Childhood, a therapist discusses practices like witnessing and grieving past childhood experiences to resolve lingering wounds and patterns.
