About This Bundle
Most adults carry within them the children they once were. Not as a metaphor, but as a felt internal reality: the eight-year-old who learned to be invisible, the twelve-year-old who learned to be the responsible one, the four-year-old who learned the world was not safe. These younger parts of you are still alive inside, and they still carry what they carried then: needs, fears, hopes, longings. When they are not attended to, they
drive adult behaviour from the shadows. When they are met with kindness, they begin to heal. Inner child work is the practice of turning toward these younger parts of yourself with the love and attention they did not receive at the time. It draws from psychodynamic therapy, IFS, schema therapy, and the broader trauma field. It is one of the most accessible forms of deep work; it does not require a clinical background, only a willingness to slow down and listen. It complements but does not replace formal
therapy. Christianity has carried the wisdom that becoming whole means receiving the kingdom "like a child." Jesus took children seriously, lifted them up, refused to send them away. The inner child work in this bundle is part of how an adult takes their own younger self seriously: refusing to send them away, lifting them up to be seen and held. The work is not regression; it is integration. The adult you grows more whole by
including, rather than disowning, the child you were.
What's Included:
Bundle description: Twelve worksheets for meeting, healing, and re-parenting the younger you. Drawing from psychodynamic therapy, IFS, schema therapy, and the broader trauma field, this bundle walks you through the practice of turning toward the younger parts of yourself with the love and attention they did not always receive at the time. Integrated with Christian theology of becoming whole, the work is not regression but integration: bringing the child you were into the adult you are becoming.
01 Introduction to Inner Child Work — Understanding what inner child work is and is not, why it works, and addressing common misconceptions. The foundational reframe: putting away childish things does not mean abandoning the child.
02 Meeting Your Inner Child — A structured visualisation for first contact with younger parts of yourself, with detailed prompts for capturing what came up and guidance for when nothing seems to come at all.
03 The Wounded Child — Recognising the seven core childhood wounds: abandonment, shame, neglect, fear, betrayal, suppression, and criticism. Includes how each shows up now and a checklist for identifying your own.
04 Childhood Needs Inventory — Honestly rating how well eight foundational needs were met in your childhood: safety, attunement, comfort, validation, boundaries, encouragement, play and joy, and identity.
05 The Critical Inner Parent — Recognising the inherited critical voice and tracing it back to its actual source. Names what the inner critic claims to do versus what it actually does.
06 The Nurturing Adult — Building the loving inner parent with seven specific qualities: warmth, patience, validation, steadiness, wisdom, boundaries, and delight. Includes models from real life, fiction, and scripture.
07 Inner Child Letter Writing — Three structured letters: from your adult Self to your inner child, from the child back to you (using your non-dominant hand), and a final letter of specific promises you can keep.
08 Re-parenting Practices — Daily, weekly, and monthly rhythms for caring for your inner child as an ongoing relationship. Specific practices for each layer plus a personalised rhythm planner.
09 Play, Joy, and Curiosity — Reclaiming the playful, joyful, curious capacities that often get shut down in childhood. Includes a permission practice and a concrete plan for re-introducing each.
10 Inner Teenager Work — The often-overlooked adolescent years. Six common adolescent themes (belonging, identity, body, voice, faith, authority) and a respectful tone for speaking to your teen self.
11 Healing Old Beliefs — Identifying the conclusions your child self drew about themselves and the world ("I am too much," "I have to earn love"). A structured walk-through for examining and updating one belief.
12 Integration — The capstone. Markers of integration with a self-rating exercise, where the work shows up across relationships, work, faith, body, and time, plus a vision for the year ahead and a closing blessing.
