The Counselor's Couch, hosted by Calvin Williams, is a place where complex emotions and past traumas are unpacked with warmth and humour. In this episode, 'The Inner "Demon" Is Not the Problem; It's How You Fight It That Matters', Calvin takes listeners on a journey through emotional reactions that feel too big for the situation. He explains these intense feelings as echoes from childhood experiences, moments when support was absent, leaving us with coping mechanisms that persist into adulthood.
Calvin introduces the concept of reparenting the inner child—an approach to healing that involves offering kindness and compassion to our younger selves. He shares his personal experience with 'Little Calvi', his inner child, and how ignoring him led to louder disruptions in his adult life. The episode touches on Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, both advocating for understanding rather than battling our inner struggles.
Calvin invites listeners to consider their inner child not as a demon but as a scared child needing support. Through engaging anecdotes and a sprinkle of humour, he challenges you to approach your inner battles with compassion, suggesting that true healing lies in understanding rather than fighting these echoes from the past. So grab a cushion and a cup of coffee, and explore how changing your fight strategy can lead to profound personal growth.
