Welcome to Reparenting & Healing Your Inner Child!
Using Compassionate Awareness, you will be gently (and playfully) led through mindfulness practices, mindsets, and meditations to help facilitate connection with inner child and invite the rejected parts of yourself back into your heart, mind, and body.
If you are feeling lost, helpless, depressed, victimized, out of control, and emotionally at your wits end, this is often a sign that a very young part of you has been rejected and desperately needs you attention. This course will guide you through how to reforge lost connection with yourself, show you how to stop looking outside yourself for answers, and teach you to become your own greatest friend and ally.

1. Why Heal Your Inner Child
Many of us at a young age were conditioned and taught to abandon and reject ourselves as a way to earn a sense of love and belonging.
This caused us to fragment and split off from ourselves causing us to feel sad, depressed, lonely, hurt, emotionally taxed, codependent, and overextended in our adult life and relationships.
By doing Inner Child Healing work, you are consciously choosing to heal and put an end to a lifetime of suffering and self-abandonment.
Listen to Day 1…
Day 1 Homework
Make a list of how you’ve treated your young/child-self up until now. What do you suspect they need from you and why are you drawn to this course?
2. Forging Connection
How deeply you’ve been cut off from your inner child will determine how much time, attention, care, and compassion is required to become reacquainted with the lost and lonely parts of yourself.
During this process, you will likely come in contact with very young parts of yourself (possibly even pre-memory) as well as older (teenage and young adult) parts of yourself.
It’s important to go slowly and approach yourself with love because the aspects of yourselves that have been most rejected or gone into hiding, can often be skittish and require lots of trust-building, which you will learn to do in this session.
Listen to Day 2…
Day 2 Homework
1) Collect photos of your young-self and/or a mementos/toys/blanky, etc. Where can you keep this photo/memento so that you can look at it daily?
2) You can also create a talisman to carry with you as a reminder that your inner child is always with you, looking to you for love and affirmation. This can be a shirt, bracelet or necklace, photo in your wallet, etc. What’s a talisman you can carry with you to help connect you with your inner child on a daily basis?
3. Listen to Your Inner Child
Once you have reforged connection with an aspect of your inner child, you will then need to listen to what they have to say.
It will be your job to sit with your inner child and acknowledge any pain, anger, hurt, sadness, and loss they are feeling.
This is a chance to practice being a Loving Presence for yourself and finally giving the rejected parts of yourself the attention they have needed for so long. This is enormously trust-building and essential before moving deeper into this work.
Listen to Day 3…
Day 3 Homework
Write a letter to your young/child-self below. Tell them you are committed to them from now on. Be specific in your commitment, be loving, kind, affirming.
4. Facing the Past
Now that you know how to honor and listen to your inner child, you are now ready to travel back to the times, places, and circumstances in which they were abandoned, rejected, or split off from you.
This session involves a very powerful visualization that will help you go to these places without becoming overwhelmed. This process can sometimes be emotionally triggering, so it’s important to go slow, and honor any fears or resistance that comes up.
Take your time with this one. Trust the process and your own sense of what will be most helpful to your inner child.
Listen to Day 4…
Day 4 Homework
Do the recommended visualization practice, then journal about what came up and/or write another letter to your inner child reaffirming your commitment to keep show up for them, even when it’s hard or painful affirming.
5. Healing the Past
You’ve done a lot of deep emotional work by this point and have learned some great structures for approaching your inner child with love, safety, and compassion.
A big part of the healing work has already occurred because of your willingness to go inward and reclaim your inner child as your Self. What your inner child most needs now is to be invited back into your heart (and your life) with a strong sense of belonging and lots of affirmation from you.
Reassure you inner child that you will never abandon them again and that you are devoted to loving, honoring, and engaging with them forevermore. Forgive your inner child for the past and reassure them of their innocence, value, and worthiness of love.
Listen to Day 5…
Day 5 Homework
How does it feel to show up for yourself as the loving parent/adult who is protective and has the authority to care for your inner child?
6. Creating Safety & Learning to Play
There’s nothing children love more than to play! However, to play requires children to feel free and safe to express themselves and take up space, physically and emotionally.
Part of why you have been cut off from yourself for so long is because it hasn’t felt safe for you to take up space and be bigger than life in this world. Your inner child is hungry to play and delight in life.
Now that you are reconnected with the lost parts of yourself, and have built a loving and safe inner environment for yourself, it’s time for you to invite your inner child out to play. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this wonderful reunion than with a bit of fun and lighthearted enjoyment of this beautiful connection you now have.
Listen to Day 6…
Day 6 Homework
1) Ask you inner child how they want to play and interact with you.
2) Write their response.
3) Set a weekly (or daily) playdate with your inner child. What does your inner child want to do with you during this time? Write your ideas and time commitments to your inner child.
7. Finding Wholeness
You came into this world whole, complete and perfect. This has never stopped being true. You just forgot for a while.
Now that you have returned to your Self and reintegrated the lost and fragmented aspects of your BEing, you can rest in the homecoming that is your Self.
Let this be a new beginning that changes your life, your path, and your commitment to living a deeply soulful and nourishing existence from now on.
Well done on showing up for yourself and going deep within to take yourself back, living from your wholeness once again.
Listen to Day 7…
Day 7 Homework
How does your inner child want to be seen and celebrated? How can you give this to your inner child on a daily basis in simple ways?
Thank you for being here with me! May you stay with yourself today, and always.
Love, Jessica ❤️
