Helping the Inner Child Grieve
Dawn-Elise Snipes
Clinical Psychotherapist
Here, we’ll explore the concept of the inner child, its role in shaping our emotions and behaviors, and the unmet needs it may carry. From a developmental perspective, we’ll discuss the inner child’s need for safety, love, and validation. Finally, we’ll identify tools like journaling, meditation, and creative outlets to help the inner child grieve and heal, fostering emotional balance and self-awareness.
