Particular beliefs, such as basic sinfulness and threat of hell, and approaches to life like black-and-white thinking and avoidance of personal responsibility can be devastating to the healthy development of your core self. If you have experienced these things, your inner child is hurt. You need to acknowledge this hurt to your inner child.

This may seem like a small thing but the effect can be powerful. A simple analogy is that of a small child coming to show you a cut on her finger. When you say, “Yes, I see that cut. It looks like it must really hurt,” she feels accepted. Her pain is honored, and she is strengthened. She can run off to play again. You can begin the process of healing by giving your inner child the gift of understanding, by saying, “Yes, I see what happened to you. You were really hurt.”
