What is the Inner Child?

The inner child represents the younger parts of you that learned how to receive love, safety and connection.

For The Pleaser, this part often learned that love came from being good, helpful or easy to be around.

Why is it important?

When this part is activated, you're not just responding to the present moment — you're responding from a younger place that learned love had to be earned.

Recognising this brings compassion. It also helps you reconnect with the strengths within this part of you — your care, empathy and ability to connect — without needing to lose yourself in others.
