Secrets to Unlocking Your Inner Child’s Power
Dylan Moore, Founder Balanced Analysis LLC and Breaking Barriers University
Somewhere inside you, there’s a version of yourself that still believes in magic. The child who once danced without fear, dreamed without limits, and loved without hesitation. That version of you didn’t worry about being “too much” or “not enough.” They just were.
But life happened. We learned to suppress that fearless, joyful, curious part of ourselves. We were told to grow up, toughen up, and be responsible. Over time, the inner child—the source of our most authentic self—got buried under expectations, pain, and survival.
But here’s the truth: your inner child is still there, waiting for you to return home. And when you reconnect with them, you unlock a power you didn’t even know you had.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled with self-worth, or lost touch with joy, this is your invitation to remember. To listen. To reclaim. Let’s find the way back together.
The Moment I Realized I Had Left Myself Behind
There was a time I thought healing was about fixing what was broken. I thought if I could just be more disciplined, more logical, more adult, I’d feel whole. But no matter how much “work” I did, something always felt… off. Then one day, I found an old childhood photo of myself. I was grinning—full of life, mischief, and a kind of pure confidence that I barely recognized. And I had this gut-wrenching thought: What would that kid think of me now?
I sat with that question, and for the first time, I realized that healing wasn’t about changing who I was—it was about returning to who I had always been before the world told me otherwise. That’s when I started listening to my inner child, and that’s when everything changed. If you’ve ever felt like you lost a piece of yourself along the way, I see you. I feel you. And I promise—you can find your way back.
The Hidden Power of Your Inner Child
Most of us have spent years suppressing our inner child without realizing it. When we ignore them, we cut ourselves off from key parts of who we are—our creativity, our emotions, our ability to trust and play.
The truth is, your inner child still influences you, even if you don’t realize it. Have you ever:
- Felt unworthy of love or success?
- Struggled with setting boundaries, afraid of disappointing people?
- Found yourself stuck in the same painful relationship patterns?
- Felt disconnected from joy, like you’re just going through the motions?
These struggles often stem from childhood wounds—times we felt unseen, unheard, or unworthy. But instead of ignoring those wounds, what if we listened to the child who still carries them?
When we reconnect with our inner child, we reclaim lost parts of ourselves. We heal, not by forcing change, but by giving ourselves what we always needed: love, validation, safety.

How to Reconnect with Your Inner Child
1. Acknowledge That They’re Still There
Your inner child never left you. They’ve just been waiting for you to notice them. Start by recognizing their presence. Imagine them standing in front of you. What do they look like? How do they feel? What do they need from you?
2. Listen to Their Needs and Fears
Your inner child holds your earliest beliefs about yourself. If they were made to feel unworthy, they might still carry that pain. Journal as if you’re speaking to them—ask, What do you wish you could have heard when you were younger? Then give yourself those words now.
3. Find Joy Like a Child Again
Children don’t overthink joy. They don’t ask if they’re good enough to paint, dance, or play—they just do it. What did you love as a child? Try it again, even in small ways. Let yourself be playful, messy, and free.
4. Reparent Yourself with Compassion
Healing your inner child means stepping in as the loving, supportive figure you might not have had. Speak to yourself with kindness. When you feel afraid or triggered, instead of shutting down, ask, What would I say to a child in this situation? Then say it to yourself.
5. Create a Safe Space for Them
Your inner child thrives in safety. That means building an environment—physically and emotionally—where you don’t have to shrink, suppress, or pretend. Set boundaries. Choose relationships that honor your softness. Give yourself permission to rest.
Rise Fierce and Free
Your inner child isn’t something to outgrow. They are your deepest source of joy, creativity, and resilience. They hold the blueprint of who you were before the world told you to be someone else.
Reconnecting with them isn’t just healing—it’s liberation. It’s a return to your wild, unfiltered self. And that? That is where your power has been all along.
So today, I want to ask you: What’s one thing you can do to honor your inner child? Maybe it’s singing at the top of your lungs. Maybe it’s taking a break without guilt. Maybe it’s simply whispering, I see you. I love you. You are safe with me.
Whatever it is, take that step. Because you, my friend, are not just healing—you are coming home to yourself. And that is the most powerful thing you will ever do.
