“As adults, many of us treat our inner child the way we were treated or wish we were treated, which, for me, meant that I was over-protecting my inner child in fear of it being harmed. When I realized that my inner child did not need protection, but the freedom to express itself, I set it free. Now we live in an active relationship, tapping into the joy that is our birthright. We can access authentic joy at any moment, but it requires courage and acceptance to create it.”
