Everybody has an inner child. Getting to know your inner child can help you better understand some of your behaviours.
Imagine your inner child as a playful companion tucked away in your subconscious, sometimes peeking out when you least expect it. In this episode of the Counselor Toolbox Podcast, Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes takes listeners on a journey to understand the concept of the inner child and its role in emotional intelligence. You'll find yourself nodding along as she explains how childhood experiences shape our emotional responses as adults.
From flying kites to skipping down hallways, the inner child is all about those innocent joys we often forget. Dr. Snipes discusses three ways the inner child can manifest in adults: the unidentified wounded child, the identified but ignored child, and the healthy integrated child. If you've ever found yourself acting impulsively or feeling disconnected, it might be time to check in with your inner child. Dr.
Snipes shares how nurturing this aspect can lead to emotional growth and stress reduction, offering tools to help you reconnect with that carefree part of yourself. The episode also touches on how tapping into your inner child can enhance creativity and improve relationships. You might even find yourself inspired to blow bubbles or ride a shopping cart across a car park after listening!
The key is balance – knowing when to let your inner child play and when to keep it in check. Whether you're a counsellor seeking professional insights or someone looking to better understand your own emotional landscape, this episode offers valuable perspectives on healing and integrating the inner child. So, why not take a moment to explore the benefits of embracing your inner child? You might discover a happier, more emotionally intelligent version of yourself.
