Your ‘inner child’ can have a huge impact on your life. Find out how to connect with this younger part of yourself and heal any past pains or traumas...

Although we can’t see them, each of us has a second self that follows us every place that we go. This second self is usually a few feet shorter than us and a good many years younger. They can drive our decisions, create irrational fears and even sabotage our dreams. They could also be the reason why we resent our boss, keep dating the wrong people or why when we visit our family, we might suddenly feel stroppy or out of sorts.

But who is this second self and what do they want? They are in fact what’s known as the ‘inner child’, that younger part of you that is still five years old (or seven, or nine). And whether you realize it or not your relationship with them can have a huge impact on your life. In fact, everything from your mental health, physical wellbeing, achievements, relationships with others and even ability to feel joy can all be affected by this younger you.

But what do we mean by ‘inner child’ exactly? And how can we learn to listen to what this younger version of ourselves is trying to tell us?
