Healing the Inner Child: How Childhood Trauma Affects Adult Life
Counselling at Kolkata | Therapy at Kolkata | Online Therapy Kolkata | Online Therapy in Bengali
We often think trauma has to be something big — a visible scar, a loud crisis. But many of us carry childhood wounds that were quiet, invisible, and long dismissed. You may have had food, clothes, school — and yet something vital was missing: emotional safety.
Welcome to the world of inner child wounds — the unmet needs and unresolved pain from childhood that shape the way we feel, relate, and live today.
Your inner child is the part of you that still holds on to early experiences — the memories, feelings, and beliefs formed when you were too young to make sense of them. If you were ignored, shamed, pressured, or left alone with big emotions, that child within you never fully healed. And it shows up in adult life.
Fear of abandonment in relationships
People-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries
Chronic self-doubt or low self-worth
Explosive anger or emotional numbness
Overworking to earn validation
Feeling emotionally stuck or "not enough"
If any of these feel familiar, you're not broken. You're carrying unprocessed childhood pain — and you can heal.
Studies show that early emotional neglect can lead to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and even physical health concerns. When a child doesn’t feel heard, loved, or emotionally safe, the nervous system adapts — often in ways that later harm us.
You might struggle to trust others. Or expect rejection even when you're loved. Or constantly overachieve because love felt conditional growing up.
This isn’t drama. It’s trauma — just in a softer, often overlooked form.
Healing the inner child isn’t about blaming parents. It’s about finally giving yourself the love, protection, and validation you always deserved.
Through therapy, we help you:
Identify early wounds and their adult impact
Reconnect with your inner child through guided exercises
Learn how to reparent yourself with compassion
Release shame, fear, and emotional rigidity
Create healthier relationships and self-image
