Life as a humxn can be rough, and if our inner child doesn’t feel safe, they retreat. The child within has clarity, openness, and honesty, and isn’t harsh or judgmental of the self. Write down what you would tell both your mother or your father one-on-one. While you’re laying on your deathbed, one parent enters the room and holds your hand as you tell them some last words in private. The better we understand our triggers and do the healing work, the less we will react out of proportion to situations, people, or events that have been tripping us up. The inner child is the most innocent, bare parts of ourselves ruled by intuitive instinct and pleasure and not wounds. Deep Shadow Work Prompts for Your Inner Child 1 - Imagine today you were dying.


This emotional health workbook/guided journal offers you the chance to mindfully begin to face, feel, deal, and heal challenging or intense emotions or shadows that have been tripping you up. Shadow work is the practice of gently acknowledging and bringing these hidden parts of yourself back to the surface. Shadow work can be powerful, but it’s not always easy to work through intense emotions that arise as you illuminate shadows. Whether it’s intense anger, fear, sadness, shutting down, etc., the strong emotional response could mean that you’re dealing with shadows, a wounded inner child, painful memories, etc., that are eager for you to witness, process, and heal. Getting emotionally triggered and reacting strongly (flipping out, blowing your cool, etc.) in a way that you regret later can cause undue guilt, shame, and pain.
