Nurture Your Inner Child

Individuals who have experienced trauma often carry the emotional remnants of their childhood, affecting their self-perception and interactions. It is essential to practice kindness and gentleness towards oneself, analogous to how one would treat a wounded child. Recognizing the need to soothe and heal oneself is crucial before being able to effectively care for others, especially one's own children. The emphasis is on moving from a survival mindset to one of nurturing, safety, and self-love to foster personal growth and positive parenting.
