Hannah Leach Hypnotherapy

I went back to school last weekend – or should I say back to playgroup?  Steve Burgess, a well-known regression specialist from my old stomping ground of East Yorkshire, visited CECCH in Birmingham with a two-day masterclass on Inner Child Healing.

Group members drew pictures with crayons, using our non-dominant hands in order to connect more naturally with our unconscious minds – as well as to create authentically ‘childlike’ drawings! We wrote letters to our inner children, imagined them sitting on empty chairs in the room, used meditation and regression techniques to help the children feel good about themselves.

Raw nerves were hit; tears were shed. Many of the problems which adults stumble through life with can be traced back to childhood hurts, whether those hurts were intentionally or unintentionally caused. By creating ‘dialogues’ between our child selves and our selves now, we can start to heal.

What’s your inner child saying to you? It might be as simple as “I’m scared.” “I’m lonely / angry / bored.” What would be a great way to have fun together? Draw some colourful pictures using crayons, and remember to tell your child self how talented they are! Spend some time watching cartoons or a kids’ movie, read yourself a story, or just have a little daydream about happy events….
