The Inner child within us is the most vulnerable part of our souls, yet it protects the fundamental characteristics that made us who we are - our emotions, our source of happiness, and our traumas. Even when surrounded by the people and things we love, it is still possible to tell lonely and out of place. This sense of dissociation can trap us in a void of guilt and self-blame, which leaves our inner child too scared to ask for help and falls deeper into this inescapable void.
