Welcome to a new segment of our show called Ask Marce (AM), where Marce will be answering a question from our Empowering Women For Success Facebook group. Every Wednesday we ask our FB community to comment on any questions they have about emotions, relationships, healing or business.
Our commitment is that we’ll either answer your question, send you a resource, point you in the right direction or Marce will answer the question on this show.
Today’s question is from Krysta who asked:
When is the appropriate age to start inner child work with children and our take on inner child integration?
In this episode I talk about:
(01:42) Defining the inner child
(02:18) The purpose of inner child work
(02:42) Understanding trauma
(04:44) Why big emotions can feel scary for children
(06:19) The difference between inner child work and emotional intelligence
(07:20) Building emotional competence
(08:48) There’s a lot of really conscious people in this world right now, who can feel into and understand their emotions and can look at certain things that are happening in the world right now and be like, no I don't like that and I don’t agree with that and so they can make decisions for themselves. However what we want to do is build powerful human beings and powerful children who will speak their truth and because you’ve already created that foundation of love and safety they will speak from love
(10:35) Inner child work integration and how it works
(04:27) We witness our children, we bring presence to our children, we help them feel heard, we help them make sense of this chaotic world. We help them make sense of the chaotic emotions that happen in their bodies
(10:49) We up level every version of ourselves
(11:36) To be fully embodied empowered powerful women I feel like we need to integrate every aspect of ourselves including our shadow aspects
