Anxiety Relief Practice: Your Inner Child Needs You
by Deb Blum
You know that hand-to-heart thing everyone talks about? This takes it to the next level. This isn't just a self-soothing technique—it's actual inner child reparenting that heals anxiety at its root. You'll learn why your anxiety keeps coming back (hint: it's not about the present situation), and how to give yourself what you needed as a child but didn't receive. I'll walk you through the exact practice I use with clients—and in my own life—to transform overwhelming feelings into moments of healing. You'll use this in your biggest meltdowns AND at stoplights (yes, really). Whether you're spinning in worry, can't stop the mental loops, or feel like your feelings are too much to bear, your inner child has been waiting for you. Not for the situation to change. For YOU. This practice builds trust with yourself, increases your capacity to handle hard feelings, and might just change everything about how you relate to anxiety.
