Inner child healing work

[@AnnaAkana]

It cut out, but the full video is up on tik tok!

[@rickkaine2580]

Thanks BTW

[@a24396]

You are both amazing and wonderful for being willing to share your emotions and vulnerabilities with everyone. You're doing it to try and help people, and I'm sure that it does, but apart from that you also revealed how terrific you are. You're obviously not fishing for validation but if you were I'd tell you how impressive you are as a person and I wish you all the success in the world.

[@moupimukhopadhyay7318]

I don't have tik tok, was there a lot cut out? If not, please write the ending in the comments 😁 thanks!

[@stephanimahl]

@@moupimukhopadhyay7318 I also don’t have tiktok, and would like to know about the conclusion about the parents...

[@quirky7735]

Hey little Anna, Big sister Elsa says to let it go.

[@jaumlee]

From one person that needed to hear it to another, you are enough and everything is going to be okay

[@Octobris]

STOOOP. When your "younger self" started talking I legitimately got choked up. Also, that's a nice breakthrough. I'm proud of you.

[@jupiteryakult]

Also learned that your "inner child" isn't just you from ages 0-10. Your inner child is also your teenage self! Remember that we often have to relearn a lot of the negative self talk etc. that followed us into adolescence. Be kind to teenage you ❤

[@TaniDeepavaliNawaz]

I just realised that every time I’m trying to be patient and explaining things to myself, I see it as a chore, and because I know that, it exhausts me. So I’m sending myself the message that I exhaust me. I need to do better. Thank you Anna for videos like this that remind me to be kinder and more patient with myself, and find joy in the process ❤️

[@AHunDread]

think the part about having to be compassionate with the "inner child" was to be more lenient with relaxation; it's okay to rest when it feels necessary, even if it feels like cheating or whatever is felt. a lot of us have to practice that part ever so often :(

[@racheljarvis3623]

My immediate response to this was, "well you did two years of inner child work, but you were a child for 18 years, then spent X amount of years in your adulthood ignoring her and retraumatizing her". That's also the approach I'm taking with my own therapy.

[@Night-Shade.]

Wow! I've never seen it this way! Incredible!

[@kaylasheppard7746]

That's so insightful, thank you❤

[@Roxie3378]

Ohh wow! Ok yeah that makes sense 😮😢

[@user-xh2kp6dx4z]

I did this when I was getting over my eating disorder. It really does help

[@kr3642]

Becoming a mother was really healing too, because I do have a physical mini me to nurture.

[@Manvir.]

your child is their own person. not your mini version. you seem like a narcissist. hopefully your kid doesn't end up hating you.

[@TheMonsterBlanket]

I WASN’T TRYING TO CRY TODAY BUT HERE I AM.

[@salaltschul3604]

Ugh inner child stuff gets me so hard every time. I picture my healthy adult self standing behind my inner child, my hands on their shoulders, and I tell them, "you don't need to worry about this. You were put in charge of things that you shouldn't have been. I'm big enough and strong enough to protect us both, you just need to go and be a kid. We're both safe, you can relax." Reparenting is where it's at, but my god can it be emotional.

[@rockymegaman8496]

Talk about being triggered...omg 😢 The way you just personified your inner child made me cry because that's how I talk to myself. Funny enough, my inner child is also my parent because I honestly had to raise myself, not to mention being a big sister 😅. I had to do some inception type stuff to get to her core. Was she ever able to be a kid? Maybe that's why I've been taking these breaks from school to do just that. Letting myself be a kid for once, not having to worry about everything and then some. She was so tired of always having to be an adult when she didn't have to. She just wants me to sit, breathe, and think/act on my dreams that had to be pushed aside in order to survive.

[@Mariue8553]

i feel called out here, just realised id been ignoring my inner child like my parents too. And not even in a direct way too, thanks for this!

[@Dantprime]

that's really trippy, but it sounds like you reached a breakthrough! I'll have to try some of that for my own stuff.

[@winterso8589]

Lord knows ineed therapy.. hearing u talk about a childhood photo of the self brought up so much deep wretched sadness, just wana ball up & cry

[@salaltschul3604]

It's time to get help.

[@dandeliondunmer3637]

This is extremely real. There is a lot of trauma most people carry from childhood that they don't even know they are carrying and when you start to heal it. . definitely an unexplainable feeling and a huge emotional weight lifting

[@mystic7851]

When I think of this it reminds me of reliving the things I didn't do when younger like rock climbing and skydiving you know the things that can be overlooked

[@Ana-ty8sl]

Did you finally do one or two of these things?

[@mystic7851]

@@Ana-ty8sl no but the older I became the wiser I got and realized I did not need it ( seems to dangerous of activities)

[@7thking361]

My child self was self destructive, He was cruel and a real piece of work. Thankfully my mother was a Saint and tolerated me. Don't know where I'd be without her tbh, didn't see myself living past 16.

[@justm720]

Ive never done this practice but.. damn.... thinking of that prespective is making me choke on my tears.....

[@CocoLoco-bv1mr]

Brilliant! Thank You! I needed to see this today and todat I saw it! 💕❤️

[@saintvivi]

Dude that hit deep.

[@Princessofthelake]

I had my ten year old photo as my lock screen. Gonna put it back after this. 😊

[@ayliiful]

that is so true, going through the same!!!

[@melnaiker1320]

Oh my word This hits home hard And makes so much sense. Thank you so much for this Anna I'm grateful for you🙏💫❤️

[@Dangeresque_2]

Spend some time with a kid and reflect on how young and vulnerable they are. Then remember you were just like that too and it helps grow the self compassion so you don’t have to constantly remind yourself. It gets easier and it dose stop hurting so much. It took me about 7-8 years of good therapy and lots of other stuff. It’s possible but you were a child for many more years than you’ve been healing so it takes time.

[@nathalieschulz1238]

Thank you so much for your authenticity ❤️

[@labullo79]

I sobbed watching this 😢

[@patriciacavalcantedc]

this made me cry. thanks. ❤

[@choco_moo]

omg yea i had the same breakthrough with my therapist when she made me realize i had an inner child that needed healing and i just couldnt stop crying and the childhood photo thing is a good idea i mma do that too

[@Skulliosis_Art]

I needed this today thank you

[@benjaminpack2922]

Inner Ben, laugh more, it's good to have Joy it was appreciated whether they expressed it or refused to. Remember Patch Adams.

[@docthegaffer]

This broke me

[@Bored0720]

Everytime this pops up its when I need to hear it 🥲. But probably now more than ever. Love your videos 😊

[@rickkaine2580]

Glad to hear you didn’t quit KZbin, as I’m thinking about seeking help for my brain issues And P.S. Hope you have a good day today

[@samsula123]

Thank you, this is helpful. I’m actually working on this with my therapist right now.

[@dharshanbr1838]

I teared up when she did the little child voice

[@cthornton523]

I struggled with this too. I used the imagery of my nephew instead. It helped. He's 22 now but omg, THE sweetest 3 year old.

[@baconsalad1891]

Omg, 😢. You’re a trooper.

[@x18kwb]

That inner work is never really 'done', but the more you do it, the easier things get!

[@zasanz]

Dude im doing that work too, little Anna got me BAWLING

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

She's too pretty I swear to god

[@Butthead_DeffinatelyScores]

Everyone needs to do this and that’s why you have parents that don’t know how to love a child and project them self out or live vicariously through them…

[@168mooncakes]

Love your frames...really accents your beautiful 👁️y👁️s Anna!! 🥰

[@LisaSmith-yb2uz]

❤love this advice!!! (it is precisely a big part of what has helped me over the years)

[@TheKrispyfort]

When I look at my childhood photos all I see is a smile for the camera little face that is being abused every day, given up by one parent, sold off by the other parent, and no-one was bothering to help her and all I can tell her is "hang in there kiddo"

[@taliw7736]

Awww praying and sending my love to all of you healing from your past.

[@GaryDunion]

Both Little Anna and Big Anna must be protected AT ALL COSTS

[@SouthFloridaWoman]

U better stop making me cry damnit! ❤

[@FerreroRashaie]

Oh sh*t.. that resonated harder than a car crash 😳

[@Starburst514]

Tore me to shreds when I first started that. My mom got sick when i was little and died in my late teens. I was haivng stuff come up from stuff bacl around that time. I looked at a picture of myself when I the age when she first got sick and started sobbing, thinking about all the times i told my self to move on, get over it, no one cares except me because it doesn't matter any more. The thought of saying that to an already sensitive seven year old wrecked me 😢😂😅 i still need to work on it, bug that was eye opening.

[@mdeg3]

Me trying to see your eye liner... now i want to cry... poor lil me had to be strong n grow way too quickly...

[@bear3406]

I am not familiar with *inner child work*, but I often look inward. I didn't start until a few years ago, but I feel way better. I started reading about all of human history. I read about Zoroastrians, First Nations, Inuit, and their concepts of infinity, their social constructs and so on. I can't explain it, but it helps control the chaos in my head. Anyway, sorry fot rambling, thanks for the insight and advice.

[@latte209]

My inner child wouldn't wanna talk to me either so were good :D

Thank you for sharing this. It's so helpful and interesting to me🤗

[@Laviesestbelle]

Wow this is it

[@CammieVee08]

Hm...that makes sense. I'm still doing some more "inner child work." It not always easy but, it's worth it. It brings a new perspective of how you view other people and yourself.

[@BAN_MARIEXX]

This hit hard❤

[@brittniebelcher3341]

Lmao thanks for making me cry Anna

[@hukeaz]

Lol why you gotta make me cry? Love you so much girl

[@Dude-dx5ns]

Lmao I already did the putting the picture up, but for different reasons, to make me remember that even though I'm not where I want to be, I'm still far away from where I was

[@erikadizonproductions]

I truly felt that when she said “how much more inner child work do I need to do?!?” 😅🥲

[@joshhoobler5769]

wow, just wow thanks for sharing this

I tried this and not proud of it but, I can picture my young self and saying all the negative things I hear from other people to my child self

I don't have any children so maybe I'm saying this in ignorance but a child is always trying their best.
