Inner child work addresses the child-self who developed type a and type b personality theory-related patterns in response to early experiences — and who still needs healing.
What Inner Child Work Means for Type A and Type B Personality Theory
The 'inner child' isn't metaphysical — it refers to the internalized representations of childhood experiences that drive adult type a and type b personality theory patterns.
When type a and type b personality theory arises in adult situations that echo childhood experiences, the inner child's unmet needs or fears are often activated.
