I believe that talking to the child like that can be very helpful, because the inner child may be deeply wounded, and the child has been waiting for us to come back to her. All her childhood wounds are still there, and we have been so busy that we have had no time to go back and help the child heal. That is why it’s very important to take the time to go back, to recognize the presence of the wounded child in us, to talk to him and try to help him heal.
