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.
Healing the Inner Child and Conditionality
As children, 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 our wants, desires, and needs. We begin to lose our sense of authenticity and true nature.
Without boundaries, we may become more prone to being taken advantage of. 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 appropriately matured.
When a child becomes an adult, mature brain activity and awareness are required to process unresolved issues in the child’s mind. When healing in therapy, we transform how 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.
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 and reassuring them that they are loved, respected, and cared for is what needs to happen.
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 help the child mature and grow. You become the carer for the child.
Nurturing and Healing the Inner Child within
We must touch the child’s hand with a sense of understanding. Deep mindfulness and relaxation are the process of becoming more aware of what the child is experiencing, offering the child a hand of knowledge through the wisdom of the adult self. Once the adult wisdom expresses kindness and compassion towards the child, it gives 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 mechanism, the child will always go with what is familiar rather than do something outside their 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 wisdom to the child, and eventually, the child will provide its playfulness to the adult self as the child blossoms.
As we begin to release painful feelings of abandonment in childhood, we will relearn 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.
How does Healing the Inner Child work?
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 the spirit will need to be developed through honesty and truthfulness within oneself. Building nonjudgmental 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 and be capable of 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, showing the child love and support, and 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 adult’s perspective. The adult parent (your present self) will be reframing the misconceptions the child has developed as a child. The child’s feelings 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 supporting and using the correct language. Is this true… Now? The process is about maturing the child through communication and dialogue. The adult must always find a nurturer for the child. The child may be very petulant, spoiled, angry, and unable to reason. The adult and the higher self are responsible for correcting misconceptions and maturing the child within into adulthood.
The child wants to be heard.
Children always need someone to hear their story and be asked first when seeking a champion. Breaking any rules embedded in childhood, usually from parents, is recommended. “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 they can be reconnected 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 internal healing between the child and the adult self, ensuring that the person in therapy develops a self-love approach. Love, validation, and approval cannot be found outside 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 integrating the child and the adult self internally. It is a place where the adult can love, mature, and nurture the child. Talking to the child for 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 need?”
Normalising the shame can help the child overcome those red-light negative emotions. The adult self can be a witness to the healing process. This higher self can mediate between the child and the adult self.
The adult self can use tactile touch, playfulness, experiencing nature, visualisation, and imagination to bring the child’s joy into the present. Mindfulness, or spending time alone doing nothing, can be a great way to do this. You must invest time in attending to the child; this is critical.
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 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 wish to know.
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. Healing the Inner Child Hypnotherapy aims 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 never forget the trauma, so going to the environment of your childhood is sufficient for healing. You don’t have to remember the memory specifically.
