Who is the inner child and how does it relate to your current Anxiety?
We’ve all heard the term “inner child” at one point or another. But many do not know the real meaning of this term. Most of us refer to and attribute the term to desires and feelings that we never allow to surface in the practical world. Is this an accurate assessment? Let’s find out.
Who is the inner child really??
Psychologically, the inner child is a complex part of all of us. It takes its first breath and begins to store memories from the moment of conception. It continues to grow after birth, through infancy and the developing years, and continues until we take our last breath in this world. So, in essence, the inner child is ours the subconscious mind which holds countless stimuli and responses that are not immediately apparent to consciousness.
It is the inner child or subconscious mind that remembers our childhood fears and all our joyful experiences. It also acts as a repository for repressed traumas, significant losses, and/or neglect. It can be difficult to pinpoint the events that are held in the subconscious mind and act as a barrier to you entering untested waters, but a deeper examination of our inner child can allow us to understand a few inner patterns collected in the sub. -consciousness over time.
Every person has an inner child with permanent resident status. I have an inner child and so do you. This inner child calmed down storage of memories from the beginning, each of us has had the ability to perceive or process various events in our lives, emotionally or mentally. It is a repository for messages, beliefs and emotional experiences in the lived life, as well as dreams, wishes and hopes for the life to come.
The inner child and anxiety
Memories of fear, joy, and hope stored in the subconscious mind (but not readily accessible) act as triggers for any new messages or events you may encounter in life. The inner child can trigger a whole gamut of emotions about the possible consequences of some new situation, which can later lead to anxiety. So, there is a definite connection between anxiety and the subconscious mind.
Is it possible to effectively control the subconscious mind and thereby control or eliminate anxiety? Yes, it is.
When the inner child has a sense of stability and security, we tend to thrive and flourish.
When we calm the subconscious mind in various ways, the inner child allows us to move forward and try new things. A peaceful inner child increases our tolerance for disorder or frustration. This allows us to better address minor embarrassments without involving them new fears or anxieties. It allows us to be confident and prevents us from acting hastily. We don’t tend to seek the approval of others and are therefore less likely to be stuck in our pursuits.
This inner self is like the “roots” of a tree. If the roots are shaky, we are more likely to experience disorientation, insecurity, and disorganization in our adult lives. When the inner child is skillfully engaged, it tends to remain stable, and so we feel increasingly confident, positive, content, and clear. This kind of confidence and cheerful mood is also reflected in our behavior.
When each of us learns the functioning of each of our inner children and creates a space for it to heal, we are more likely to see a positive change in the healing of our subconscious mind, as well as self-esteem and overall appreciation. self-clarity. We will also see a marked change in the resolution of associated anxiety and the progress of the healing process.

How can we communicate with our inner self and reduce anxiety?
The inner child is always in constant communication with the adults themselves. All we have to do to bridge the gap is learn to understand and listen to the subconscious mind.
The inner child can be a decisive factor in ensuring that you become a good and respected member of society or find happiness and peace in life.
The inner child can be peaceful and content, or it can go crazy and make the adult’s life completely chaotic. The latter can result in anxiety and interfere with aspects of the adult’s life self controlcommunication and organizational skills.
When an adult experiences frustration or feels trapped in some area of life, the most likely reason is that the inner child is trying to get your attention. You may feel frustrated or stuck in aspects of adult life, such as parenting, work, setting boundaries, taking your relationship to the next level, and/or discovering or keeping love.
To overcome anxiety and other problems related to the subconscious mind, you need to find a middle ground that can get you out of a sticky situation, remove relative obstacles and help you move forward.
The two most important steps to begin communicating with your inner child are:
