Inner Child Therapy: What Is It & How Can It Help You Find Body Peace?

Guest contributor and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor Maria Scrimenti explains how, “When we feel triggered as adults, it’s often not our adult self that is activated. It is our child self showing up, unable to regulate their emotions and less able to access rational perspective. It’s like your adult self is being hijacked by your child self. Often, your child self feels unsafe and needs to know they are okay.” Maria shares an exercise to help us communicate with our inner child and forge a caring relationship with them, so that we can begin to heal the triggers we confront as adults.
