Learning To Love The Child Within - Healing Your Younger Self
With Katrina de ToneyThis 7-day course offers a gentle, trauma-informed introduction to inner child work — the process of reconnecting with the younger parts of yourself that may have felt unseen, unsupported, or misunderstood. Through daily guided practices and reflections, you’ll begin to meet your inner child with kindness, build trust, and offer them the care they may have needed long ago. Each session includes a short educational introduction followed by a guided meditation or visualisation. Across the week, you’ll learn how to offer your younger self comfort, protection, daily connection, and boundaries — and begin cultivating a more compassionate relationship with yourself. You don’t need to have done any inner child work before. This course is suitable for beginners, especially those who’ve experienced trauma or disconnection and are seeking a soft, nurturing path to healing. By the end of the course, you’ll have: Met and connected with your inner child Identified unmet needs and survival strategies Practised becoming the safe, steady adult they can rely on Learned how to include them in your everyday life Taken meaningful steps toward reparenting with compassion and care This is not a quick fix. It’s a beginning — and you don’t have to get it perfect. Just show up gently, and let the relationship unfold.
Learn how to meet, soothe, and protect your inner child with warmth and compassion.
