If you were raised in a home of abuse, neglect, dysfunction, control, manipulation, or critique, you may want to grab some chamomile or lavender tea or oils for this. This week, I'm reading more excerpts from my book, The 5 Commandments of Self Love, and we're discussing how your "wounded inner child" can impact your self love journey. We all have an inner child, that unconscious child-like state that exists within us, however some of us have a wounded inner child that carries shame, sadness, guilt, anger, and sorrow. We discuss what shapes the wounded inner child, how to treat and re-parent yourself when its activated, and what to keep in mind in order to embrace, honor, and accept yourself.
