โจ When Old Wounds Rise โ Speak to the Child Within
When an old wound rises and we feel upset, itโs easy to forget that itโs often our younger self calling for care. In those moments, many of us make the same mistake โ we focus on the person who triggered us, blaming or analyzing them, instead of realizing theyโre simply mirroring our unhealed pain. The real healing begins when we pause and go inward, meeting the part of us that still hurts. Our nervous system often reacts as if weโre back in those early moments of neglect, fear, or abandonment. When that happens, I gently speak to my inner child: โYouโre not alone now. Youโre safe. Iโm here with you. Iโm sorry the people who were meant to protect you couldnโt. You deserve love, safety, and care โ and Iโm here for you now.โ Sometimes I speak out loud, sometimes silently โ but most times, tears come and healing follows. ๐ Instead of blaming outward, turn inward. The one who truly needs your attention is waiting within. If this resonates, Iโd love to hear how you comfort your inner child โ or what helps you soften when you feel triggered. โ Owen Fox From Struggles to Thriving Love ๐ฟ If youโd love to go a little deeper with this kind of healing and reflection, my new Thriving Love Circle is now open โ a warm, heart-centered space to grow together through conscious healing and love. ๐ https://shorturl.at/2M7Mi
