342. Protect Your Inner Child (Shadow Work Series Part 13 of 22)

Your inner child isn’t just a concept—it’s the tender, vulnerable part of you that still carries unmet needs, fears, and wounds from the past. In this episode, we’ll explore how shadow work helps you reconnect with and protect your inner child, heal old emotional wounds, and give yourself the safety and nurturing you didn’t receive before. Learn to recognize when your inner child is triggered, how to soothe it, and how reclaiming that part of yourself leads to deeper self-compassion, joy, and wholeness. It’s time to step up as the protector your younger self always needed. In this shadow work series, we’re diving deep into the parts of ourselves we often avoid—the hidden fears, patterns, and wounds shaping our lives from the shadows. Together, we’ll explore the four core wounds—trust, guilt, abandonment, and neglect—and uncover how they affect our relationships, self-worth, and inner peace. This isn’t about fixing or erasing these parts; it’s about understanding, embracing, and integrating them to step into your wholeness. So, grab a journal, an open mind, and maybe a cup of tea—because we’re about to get real, raw, and radically self-aware. Let’s play in the shadows. Join Shadow Work: https://alwaysplay.org/shadow-work
