Healing the Inner Child Central Coast
The Hero’s Journey through Hypnotherapy
• Have you experienced childhood trauma?
• Were you abandoned as a child?
• Have you experienced trauma?
• Are you dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?
Do you feel you haven’t properly developed in childhood?
Healing the Inner Child Hypnotherapy Central Coast offers Analytical Hypnotherapy and Regression therapy to create a landscape for healing childhood trauma and abandonment. As we begin Hypnotherapy for Inner child healing, you will assess the feeling states you experienced in your younger years. By changing negative patterns and clearing emotional blockages, we can release deep anger, rage, guilt, and painful wounds that exist deep in our unconscious mind.
Inner Child Hypnotherapy is the magical key to the door of the unconscious mind. What’s behind the door is the inner authenticity of the true self. Behind that door are opportunities to experience playfulness, inquisitiveness, joyfulness, compassion, and divine bliss. Through the relaxation process, your consciousness will experience the deep ‘Theta Brain wave’ state.
our parental programming
Healing the Inner Child and Conditionality
As a child, we may have experienced trauma, abandonment, abuse, or neglect from our parents and carers. Social conditioning may have hindered your ability to ask for what you wanted within your family unit. Through trauma, sometimes a child may create multiple ego personalities to cope with uncomfortable or unsafe situations. Because of this programming, we abandon ourselves, our wants, desires, and needs. We begin to lose our sense of authenticity and true nature.
We may become more prone to being taken advantage with no healthy boundaries. Once we begin healing the inner child, we eventually create healthy boundaries, developing a stronger sense of self.
Maturing and Healing the Inner Child
Healing the Inner Child Hypnotherapy Central Coast can help create that space for yourself as you integrate that true sense of self into the present. When dealing with trauma and abandonment, a child hasn’t matured property.
When the child becomes an adult, a mature level of brain activity and awareness is required to process unresolved issues trapped within the mind of the child. When healing in therapy, we are transmuting and transforming the way we see the experience with our developed adult awareness

Moving back into our True Inner Self
In Childhood Trauma, sometimes we suppress these experiences deep within the unconscious mind. The strange thing about it is that these hidden experiences still dictate our behaviours in our everyday interactions with friends, family, and relationships.
The process of Healing the Inner Child Hypnotherapy is about extending the hand of the ‘Higher Self’, reaching out to the child self, and allowing the child to feel safe and secure. Giving the child a place to heal is what needs to happen. Reassuring the child that he or she is loved, respected, and cared for.
Through Healing the Inner Child Hypnotherapy, the adult self takes on the role of the carer, even when the child has built walls of defence, protecting itself from abandonment. Ongoing attention and inner dialogue helps the child mature and grow. You becomes the carer for the child.
Nurturing and Healing the Inner Child within
We must touch the hand of the child with a sense of understanding. Using deep mindfulness and relaxation is the process of becoming more aware of what the child is experiencing, offering the child a hand of understanding through the wisdom of the adult self. Once the adult wisdom expresses kindness and compassion towards the child, it provides the child a sense of security. The child can then let go of unresolved emotions held deep within the shadow of the mind.
Healing the Inner Child and Defence Mechanisms
As a defence mechanisms, the child’s will always go with what is familiar rather than do something outside of its comfort zone. The unconscious mind needs a new perspective, as a loving nurturer, the protection of the shadow is softened. Once this happens, the child’s ego and the adult person can communicate with each other, allowing the process of resolution and integration. The adult ego self offers its wisdom to the child, and eventually, the child will offer its playfulness to the adult self as the child blossoms.
As we begin the release of painful feelings of abandonment in childhood, we will re-learn to honour the child. And nurture the child in the ‘Garden of the Heart’. Before this happens, we need to release the emotional energies of pain we carry.
it's a slow process
The Process of Inner Child Healing
The strength of the Adult Nurturer
The first step is to strengthen the adult self with the spirit of the higher self. Guidance and creative inspiration of spirit will need to be developed through being honest and truthful within the self. Building non-judgemental support structures through friends, family, or any positive influences will help strengthen the adult for the child’s healing. The child within needs the adult to feel a state of strength, capable for nurturing.
Talking to the Child
The second stage is to explore the origins of the feeling states and behaviour through exploring beliefs, thoughts, and patterns. Dialogue with the child needs to happen, building trust and showing the child love, and support, creating a space for the child to be heard. The child may not understand what has happened to them. Explaining and reframing beliefs helps the child understand from an adults perspective. The adult parent (your present self) will be reframing the misconceptions the child has developed as a child. The child’s feeling states always develop before the child can cognitively understand, so clearing things up helps the child let go.
Reframing and Maturing
The third stage is to continue to support and correct using the right language. Is this true… Now? The process is about maturing the child through communication and dialogue. The adult must always find the nurturer for the child. The child may be very petulant, spoilt, angry, and unable to reason. The adult self and the higher self are responsible for correcting misconceptions and maturing the child as an adult.
The child wants to be heard
The child always needs someone to hear their story and always needs to be asked first when seeking the champion. It is recommended to break any rules embedded in childhood, usually from parents. “It’s ok to make a mistake”. As the child is communicated with, the child needs to grieve the past losses. Sometimes the child needs to say goodbye to their parents so he/she can be re-joined with their higher self. Strangely, the child can feel safe within the familiar trauma. The child is removed from the toxic environment where the trauma was created. The child can return to the original parents after the healing is completed. In this process, the child sometimes needs to create boundaries with the parents. It is always a delicate balance when saying goodbye to the old parents.
The idea is to eliminate the constant yearning for external validation from others. The idea is to redirect the healing internally between the child and the adult self, ensuring that the person in therapy is developing a self-love approach. Love, validation, and approval cannot be found outside of the self. Before any human being can love another, the person needs to generate self-regulating love and respect from within themselves.
Adult and Child integration
The fourth stage is the process of integrating the child and the adult self internally. A place where the adult can love, mature, and nurture the child. Spending time talking to the child ten minutes a day is advisable for change. Some people prefer to write to the child. Questions to ask the child would be, “What is it that you deeply needed?”
Normalising the shame can help the child let go of those red-light negative emotions. The adult self can be a witness to the healing process. This higher self can be the mediator between the child and the adult self.
The adult self can use tactile touch, playfulness, experiencing nature, visualisation, and imagination to bring the joy of the child into the present. Mindfulness or spending time alone doing nothing can be a great way to bring the joy of the child into the present. You need to invest time to attend to the child, this is the critical point.
Once we move forward, we can project that inner child into the future as it begins its metamorphosis into the present. Essentially, you’re bringing childhood joy into the now and your future intentions into the present now and creating them now. There is no time like the ‘NOW’. Once we say to ourselves, ‘I want to feel this now’, we are no longer stalling what we want into the future. In essence, bliss is experienced in the now and not tomorrow. This is the key to unlocking what we want now.
Healing the Inner Child and Corrective Therapy
It’s always good to remove the child from the space where they developed their trauma or negative beliefs. The aim of Healing the Inner Child Hypnotherapy is to introduce the child to a new healing space where they can be creative.
Once the child is taken to a space of safety, playfulness, and creativity, the child is introduced to the present adult self and other people the child may have trusted and felt safe around. In this place of safety, the children can explore themselves through creativity, authenticity, and maturity.
Some people may find it difficult to pinpoint where the origin of their trauma or abandonment comes from. The body will always remember the trauma so going to the environment of your childhood is sufficient for healing. You don’t have to remember the memory specifically.
