Inner child work addresses the child-self who developed how do we age?-related patterns in response to early experiences — and who still needs healing.
What Inner Child Work Means for How Do We Age?
The 'inner child' isn't metaphysical — it refers to the internalized representations of childhood experiences that drive adult how do we age? patterns.
When how do we age? arises in adult situations that echo childhood experiences, the inner child's unmet needs or fears are often activated.
