Inner Child Healing & Healthy Relationships

EPISODE 49   

When we lack integration in our own identity, we do not have the power to love ourselves or others well. The work of interior integration helps us to love not only much but also love others well.

In this episode I share how inner child healing helped grow my capacity to love others well:
- Made me more self-aware of when I was using connection with others to avoid connecting with myself
- Helped me to stop shape-shifting in relationships
- Helped me learn to recognise where healthy boundaries are and act on them
