Inner Child & Attachment Wounds

It Didn’t Start With You. But You Can End the Pattern

Even high-functioning adults can carry emotional wounds from childhood:

  • Feeling unseen or not enough

  • Always having to be the “good one”

  • Having to earn love through performance or perfection

  • Being the caretaker, while your own needs went unmet

These early attachment patterns don't disappear as we grow up, they show up in our relationships, work, and how we speak to ourselves.

Signs of Unhealed Inner Child & Attachment Wounds

  • Difficulty trusting or depending on others

  • Anxiety in close relationships

  • Fear of abandonment or rejection

  • Harsh inner critic or shame spiral

  • People-pleasing, perfectionism, or emotional shutdown

How EMDR Supports Inner Child Healing

EMDR helps you access and heal the parts of yourself that still carry those old burdens, the younger parts who learned to stay small, stay silent, or stay “together.”

Using Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR), we gently repair emotional wounds by:

  • Creating safety in the nervous system

  • Reprocessing memories of emotional neglect or inconsistency

  • Rewiring how you relate to yourself and others

Clients often leave sessions feeling:

  • More self-compassionate

  • Less reactive in relationships

  • More connected to their voice, needs, and boundaries
