Every one of us has an inner child, where our subconscious minds store emotional experiences from childhood. And those experiences and emotions shape the lens we bring into the present.

For members of the BIPOC community, inner child wounds often intersect with the ancestral and generational traumas of the community.

Healing is not easy work, especially when healing hasn’t always been accessible or normalized in the community. But it is possible.

Evelyn Huynh and Erica discuss inner child wounds, ancestral trauma, and possibilities for healing.

In this discussion:

• Why comparing, downplaying, and minimizing your inner child wounds impedes healing
• How inner child wounds intersect with ancestral trauma, especially in the BIPOC community
• Where inner child wounds and generational trauma most often show up in our lives
• How inner child wounds impact our Imperfect Ally® journeys
