What do you know about the inner child? Healing unresolved childhood traumas

What do you know about the inner child? Healing unresolved childhood traumas. We live with the feeling that we always need to be strong, collected, and handle all responsibilities with ease - both at home and at work. Even in moments when we feel tired, anxious, or hurt inside, we often continue moving forward without questioning why a certain event triggers a wave of intense experiences in us.

The author of the book, an experienced psychologist Nicole Johnson, believes that bursts of strong emotions can be echoes of past childhood traumas. She thinks that they do not disappear without a trace but remain in the body, emotions, and ways of reacting to the world. The author explains how traumatic experiences shape our inner reactions, and why self-criticism and shame become habitual.

This book invites you to stop and listen to yourself carefully. It is about the inner child - that part of us that once did not receive enough care, safety, acceptance, and love. When you meet and communicate with this part of yourself, you will discover an incredible resource for living in harmony with yourself without excessive criticism, perfectionism, and anxiety.

As Nicole Johnson herself says: “If you want to be a better parent, start by being a parent to yourself. Yes, it’s not easy, but it’s something you will never regret. If you are young or don’t have children - now is the best time to start. The sooner you prioritize your healing, the faster you will regain your strength. Trauma, violence, and pain from the past have already stolen enough of your time. Don’t let them steal another second.”

This book is dedicated to how childhood traumatic experiences shape our self-perception, influence emotions, reactions, and choices in adult life. It thoroughly examines what trauma and violence are, how they are experienced by the psyche and the body, and why the symptoms we face years later are not a weakness but natural reactions to once unsafe conditions.
