Episode 123: Getting to Know Your Inner Child - a podcast by Jennifer Brookman, MFT and Audriannah Levine-Ward, Psy.D.

Building on last week's episode about positive self-talk, this week opens the topic up more broadly with a deeper dive about getting to know and learning how to speak to your "inner child."  In this episode, Audriannah and Jenn discuss their experience working with clients as well as their personal experiences of doing inner child work, and how this is tied in to working through trauma.   The ladies explore the importance of connecting with the "little you" and how it can be both healing and transformative in helping you resolve long-standing internal conflicts, behavioral patterns, and negative beliefs.   Much giggling and nostalgia ensues as Jenn and Audriannah talk about how inner child work can ignite our creative, curious energies.
