episode summary

Discover why your inner child panics and overreacts to unfamiliar and challenging life situations, and how to reparent your inner child by practising ‘the pause’.

Have you noticed how emotionally uncomfortable it can be when you encounter a challenging, unfamiliar or uncertain situation?

Your fearful inner child hates these types of issues and problems – it wants them to disappear as quickly as possible so it can return to its familiar emotional comfort zone!
