Becoming a Mom Forced Me to Confront My Inner Child

I think one of the biggest challenges of becoming a mother is how your child’s existence forces you to confront your own child self, or inner child if you want to call it.

Perhaps you already did that before or had it perfectly put away somewhere with ‘do not open until…' If you experienced any kind of trauma or complex circumstances during your childhood, this whole experience is messy to say the least.

I knew I needed to do inner child work for many years before I actually did it. I avoided it because it was scary and hard. I didn’t want to confront my child self and the pain she was still holding on to. However, after I became a Mom, I couldn’t avoid it any longer.

In doing my own inner child work, I’ve needed to dig deeper, and it is not easy to do that alone. I had the support of my own coach and I couldn’t have done it without her. In doing so, I’ve been able to transform my relationship with my child self as well as my own child. It’s been a deeply healing experience, as cheesy as it sounds.

In being present with my daughter, in joining her in her world, without having an agenda, timeline, or outcome in mind, I find I need to access my inner child too. Those moments are carefree, where I feel the most connected to her, and pure joy. ❤️
