Rebuilding From Within: Healing Your Inner Child to Master Your Destiny

#MasteringOurDestiny: Understanding and Healing the Inner Child

When I started off on this journey, I began with a focus on #richness—richness of life, growth, and meaning. Ironically, perhaps it was this richness that led to my Facebook account being hacked. It’s been almost eight months now, and I’m still in the process of trying to retrieve it. What a lesson this has been! In the early days, backup measures were nonexistent, and the recovery process now demands information that wasn’t even required during initial registration. Believe it or not, the hacking happened on a day of discovery—a day when a deep secret came to light.

But that’s life. Change happens, and we move forward.

I decided to shift my focus to this new chapter under #masteringourdestiny. I began to rebuild—not just my Facebook account but my life. I dug deeper into my #unconsciousmind, and one truth became very clear: the only constant in life is change.

Is change good or bad? Well, it depends on how we look at it. If you find clarity, it’s not about labeling change as good or bad. Like in #BaZi, it’s about what actions you take in response to it.


Let’s Begin with the Inner Child

As I rebuilt, I kept encountering my inner child, appearing layer by layer, revealing old wounds and unresolved trauma. Today, I want to share some insights about the inner child and how understanding it can bring clarity and growth to your life.

Let Me Ask You This:

  • Do you sometimes feel euphoric, only to crash into confusion or sadness moments later?
  • Do you feel a need to express your emotions, yet struggle to find the right words—as if those emotions are alien to you?

These moments could be your inner child calling out to you.


What Is the Inner Child?

For those unfamiliar with the concept, the inner child is the younger version of you that still lives within. It holds memories, emotions, and often unmet needs from your childhood. It carries both the innocence and the wounds of your past.

For those already familiar with this concept, you may have noticed that your relationship with your inner child evolves over time. New layers appear, and deeper insights emerge.

So, is the appearance of your inner child a good or bad thing? My answer is simple: Do you recognize when your inner child is showing up? And do you know why?

If you do, you are one of the blessed ones. If you don’t, know this: your inner child appears to guide you. It may bring pain, but it also holds the key to healing and growth.


Real-Life Signs Your Inner Child May Be Calling Out

The inner child often reveals itself through everyday challenges—patterns in your relationships, emotional reactions, or behaviors. These signs may seem unrelated at first, but they often stem from unresolved wounds.

Here are a few examples:

1. Feeling Unworthy Despite Success

  • How often do you hear stories of successful people who still feel empty or unappreciated?
  • Do you ever look at someone’s shining achievements and see a hidden sadness in their eyes?

This can stem from an inner child who was never truly seen, loved, or validated in their early years.

2. Reacting with Anger or Withdrawal During Conflict

  • Some people explode with anger at the smallest provocation.
  • Others withdraw, go silent, or avoid confrontation completely.
  • Ever seen aggressive drivers on the road? They’re reacting, but often they don’t know why.

These are responses of an inner child that may have felt unsafe, unheard, or misunderstood.

3. People-Pleasing to Seek Approval

  • Always saying “yes” even when you mean “no.”
  • Believing that others are always right.
  • Having no opinion of your own, or being afraid to express it.

The inner child may still be trying to win approval and love that was missing in the past.

4. Avoiding Risks Due to Fear of Failure

  • Playing it safe, even when you know you’re capable of more.
  • Avoiding opportunities that could lead to growth because you “believe” you’ll fail again.
  • Staying in your comfort zone to avoid rocking the boat.

This often comes from an inner child who experienced failure, rejection, or criticism that left deep scars.


What Can You Do?

The first step to healing your inner child is awareness. Recognize the patterns and reactions that show up in your life. When you notice them, take a moment to pause and reflect:

  • What emotion am I feeling right now?
  • Where is this coming from? Is it tied to an old memory or belief?
  • What does my inner child need from me at this moment?

Healing your inner child is not about blaming the past; it’s about creating a loving, supportive relationship with yourself now. Your inner child is not your enemy. It’s a guide, a mirror, and a source of healing if you choose to listen.


Final Thoughts

The appearance of your inner child may not always feel convenient, but it is always meaningful. By acknowledging and nurturing your inner child, you can stop the patterns that keep looping into your life. You can move forward with greater clarity, love, and freedom.

If any part of this resonates with you, take a moment to reflect. Your inner child may be waiting for you to see them, hear them, and love them. Because once you do, anything becomes possible.
