Introduction: Mapping the Journey of Healing the Inner Child

Healing the inner child is a transformative process with multiple phases, from recognizing wounds to nurturing self-compassion. To focus my project on the phase of reconnecting with the inner child, I will begin by creating a visual map on Miro. This map will outline the entire healing journey using grey colors to represent the overall process, while yellow colors will highlight the specific phase of reconnection. Through this exploration, I aim to delve into how embracing and nurturing the inner child fosters creativity, vulnerability, and emotional healing, forming the foundation for my project.

Concept Thinking: the Journey of Inner Child Healing

When you reconnect with your pure inner child, free from traumas, you begin the journey to heal your wounded inner child. This project presents the adult as the one who seeks healing after recognizing their wounds, and the process of reconnection is symbolized through the pure inner child, represented in the child costume.

The adult costume will embody the struggle and recognition of the wounds, while the child costume will reflect innocence, creativity, and the purity of the inner child. Together, they illustrate the profound connection between mental health, emotional healing, and the transformative journey toward self-compassion and growth.

This concept emphasizes that by reconnecting with our pure inner child, we create a bridge to address the wounds of the past self, allowing for deeper emotional resilience and fostering a sense of wholeness. The costumes will visually represent this dynamic relationship, showing the interplay between trauma, healing, and reconnection.
