@the.psychguide: As a fellow Canadian, I had to chime in on this one.   When we talk about inner child work, it’s basically the acknowledgement that there are old parts of us that can get stuck emotionally when we have difficult things happen to us that are never given the space to be understood or processed in healthy ways.   This comes up very frequently in therapy, where people have emotions here and now, and when asked, “is this feeling familiar to you? Is there a time you’ve felt like this before?” it often goes back to these earlier experiences.   The goal is to go back, and try to give ourselves the things we didn’t get (e.g., comfort, safety, soothing) to meet our own needs in ways that people around us couldn’t at that time.   This leads to a “corrective emotional experience” where we have a new experience (the one we probably needed back then) to help understand, make peace with, or move on from old wounds.   Justin Bieber had a childhood full of things most of us can’t even imagine, and he struggled over the years to cope with this. I saw other video’s talking about how he looked and felt so calm and grounded during his performance, and I think/hope that’s a reflection of his healing over the years.   #justinbieber #coachella #innerchild #psychologist #therapytiktok
