Inner child healing isn’t about blaming your parents. It’s about understanding the parts of you that were shaped before you had a choice. Every adult carries a younger version of themselves inside. The child who learned how to survive. The child who adapted. The child who made sense of the world based on what was available at the time. If love felt inconsistent, you may now fear abandonment. If you had to be “good” to receive approval, you may now people-please. If your emotions weren’t welcomed, you may now struggle to express your needs. These patterns aren’t personality flaws. They are protective strategies. Inner child healing is the process of gently meeting those younger parts with compassion instead of criticism. It’s learning to sit with the emotions that were once too overwhelming. It’s teaching your nervous system that it is safe now. Because trauma isn’t just what happened to you — it’s what happened inside you as a result. When you begin this work, you start to notice powerful shifts: ✨ You respond instead of react. ✨ You stop chasing emotionally unavailable partners. ✨ You set boundaries without guilt. ✨ You trust yourself more deeply. ✨ You feel worthy without having to prove it. You begin to re-parent yourself. To offer reassurance where there was once fear. Validation where there was once silence. Safety where there was once chaos. And something beautiful happens… The heavy survival energy softens. The constant overthinking quiets. Your relationships become healthier. Your body feels more regulated. You stop living from the wound — and start living from wholeness. We will open with heart-led ceremonial cacao, followed by a guided inner child healing journey in the calming energy of the salt cave. WhatsApp 087 494 7228 to book 🤍 pre booking is essential, as spaces are limited. 📆 20th March ⏰6:30pm -8:30pm 📍Salt Cave Paradise (Halotherapy Room) 💰Exchange €45 What to bring: 🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga Mat 🛌 Pillow / Blanket 😴 Eye mask 💧 Water 📝 Journal

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
