Do you believe in the concept of the inner child?
It feels woo-woo to me, but I like woo-woo. Also, it's undeniable to me that I have connected with parts of me that are younger ages and been able to see that part as a child in my mind's eye.
I discuss how my therapist has introduced me to different ages of myself through my "parts" (Internal Family Systems Therapy). Giving these misbehaving parts a voice is what we need to do to reintegrate that part into our system. I give an example of how this is done.
At the end I suggest using nondominant handwriting as a way to give your inner child a voice when they are upset and leading you down unhealthy pathways.
