Developing a Healthy Relationship with the Inner Child

March 19, 2023 

Teacher Fred Eppsteiner offers a path for the mind's healing when we are willing to make contact with those inner parts still frozen in the Storehouse of the past that are "The Wounded Child."  The competent Adult Self knows how to be with someone who is suffering, including the Inner Child, using mindfulness to hold afflictive emotional states in loving awareness and most importantly, building a healthy relationship with the Inner Child based on the willingness to make contact and offer the reassurance, "I am here for you.  I see you."  To deal with the "low-level hum" of anxiety, worry, shame and loneliness arising from the Storehouse, safety, comfort and understanding are needed.  Eppsteiner offers support for the practice by encouraging us to remember, "I know how to do it."
