Why Your Inner Child Still Cries…
And What It’s Secretly Asking You To Do
There’s one question that finds its way into many of my therapy sessions…sometimes whispered behind a smile, sometimes buried in tears behind perfection that
“Why do I feel so broken… even when everything looks fine on the outside?”
- Maybe you’ve asked yourself the same…
- Maybe you’ve shut down in the middle of an argument and didn’t know why?..
- Maybe you fear success as if happiness will slip away the moment you reach it.
- Maybe you chase love, only to pull away the moment someone gets too close.
Let me tell you this gently that you’re not overreacting…may be you’re remembering something?..
You’re not broken…may be you’re carrying an unmet need?
Remember there is a younger version of ourself that still holds the raw memories of being unheard, shamed, ignored, scolded, or abandoned.
This part of us is our inner child.
And no matter how grown-up, successful, or composed we appear on the outside, this part lives in our nervous system, our relationships and our deepest emotional reactions…
Until we pause… and listen…
Let me share a true story:
“I Panic When Someone Doesn’t Reply”
A young woman came to me in tears after a breakup. But what truly crushed her wasn’t the breakup itself. It was the anxiety she felt whenever her partner went silent for a few hours.
“It’s like I can’t breathe,” she said. “My heart races, my mind spins, I imagine the worst. Then I feel ashamed. I tell myself I’m too much. Too sensitive.”
In our inner child regression session, something both painful and beautiful emerged…
She saw herself as a 4-year-old girl, sitting by the door with her school bag… Waiting…n waiting… for her father to come home.
But he never did. That was the day he left forever.
And in that moment, a part of her froze.
Every silence since had been a replay of that first abandonment.
“That little girl was still waiting,” she whispered after the session, tears and clarity flooding her face. “And I’ve been trying to protect her ever since.”
For the first time in years, she was able to comfort her inner child… Instead of expecting others to do it for her.
Another client said
“I Couldn’t Speak in Meetings”
Rohit, a 38yr old manager. On the outside, he was confident, sharp, dependable.
But in meetings, whenever he was asked to speak, his voice would freeze.
“My throat just closes,” he admitted. “It’s like fear takes over.”
In a deep age regression session, he saw himself as a 7yr old, trying to recite a poem in class. He stammered. The class laughed. The teacher scolded him for wasting time.
And silently, he made a vow that day
“I’ll never speak in public again.”
That vow lived on… in his adult self.
That wounded 7yr old was still inside him—shutting down his voice every time he tried to rise.
So, what is Inner Child Healing?..
Let me be clear that Inner child work isn’t about reliving trauma.
It’s about finally giving yourself the love, safety, and validation you didn’t receive back then.
At DecodingBrainz, our sessions are:
- Gentle
- Guided
- Deeply healing
You are never pushed into reliving pain. You are lovingly led to…
- Meet your younger self with compassion
- Release emotions trapped in your body
- Reparent yourself with presence, forgiveness, and truth
- Rebuild your self-worth not as a thought, but as a felt experience
What Our Clients Say…
“I always thought I had to keep achieving to feel worthy. After just three sessions, I cried like I hadn’t in years. But this time, it was healing. I finally held the little girl inside me who never felt enough.” — Simran, 31, Entrepreneur
“I came for anxiety, but what I found was… myself. The little boy I had abandoned decades ago. Thank you, Dr. Supriti, for showing me how to be there for him.”
— Nakul, 45, Banker
“I’ve done talk therapy before, but this was different. I felt like I time-travelled into my own soul. And what I found? A lost child… and a new beginning.”
— Ritika, 28, Teacher
A Personal Note From Me:
When someone asks me,
“Will I ever feel whole again?”
I gently remind them that…
Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering who you were before the pain.
When we meet our inner child with love instead of judgment, something within us changes and…
We stop performing for love.
We stop fearing abandonment.
We stop replaying old wounds in new relationships.
And we begin to live not from fear… but from freedom.
If part of you still feels unseen, unheard, or unloved, Please know that your healing is not just possible… it is sacred and it is your birthright.
And I am always here, holding that space for you at DecodingBrainz.
Whenever you’re ready, Your inner child will be too.
Let’s begin, together…
