What No One Tells You About Inner Child Work...
Here are 3 truth bombs you need to hear
So you’ve done inner child work — but have you really?
You’ve journaled. Maybe visualized. Maybe even bought your inner child a stuffed animal.
But here’s the thing: If the healing never reached your body, then it probably didn’t land at all.
That was my reality too — until an 18-month dark night of the soul made it impossible to keep pretending I was further along than I really was.
Here are 3 TRUTH BOMBS about inner child work you may not have heard — but absolutely need to!
1️⃣ You can’t reparent yourself from the neck up.
You can’t think your way into safety. You can’t journal your way out of survival mode. If your body still feels tense, reactive, or numb — that’s your inner child telling you the work hasn’t reached them yet.
2️⃣ Talking to your inner child isn’t enough — you have to feel what they felt.
That sadness you can’t explain? That freeze you can’t shake? That’s your body still holding your childhood story. You can’t logic your way out of it. You have to feel it.
3️⃣ Reparenting Has to Be Somatic to Work.
Your inner child didn’t just need kind words — they needed to feel safe in their body.
Safety isn’t something you say. It’s something you practice. That’s what breathwork does: it gives your inner child the felt sense of safety they never had.
If this hit something in you — good. That’s your body asking for more.
This is exactly why I created Breathe to Heal: A Somatic Journey to Reclaim Your Inner Child.
It’s the second time we’re running this course — but this round goes even deeper. This time focusing fully on the somatic side of inner child work — the part most people never get to.
Here’s what you need to know:
✅ 6 live sessions on zoom starting Wednesday, August 13th at 8:30 pm EST with replays available if you can’t make it live.
✅ Led by Teresa Napierala, a certified somatic and breathwork facilitator who specializes in trauma-informed healing and nervous system regulation.
✅ Each week includes: Nervous system education, guided breathwork session, somatic integration (movement, journaling, etc.), & community reflection/Q&A
✅ You’ll learn to: Understand what’s happening in your body, safely access and release stored trauma, reconnect with the parts of yourself you had to leave behind finally feel what safety and self-trust actually feel like
