A set of 30 compassion focused reminders to facilitate healing and making peace with our inner child, completed with baby buddha (ojizo) illustration. Printer friendly white background.

• The inner child holds our untouched needs and unresolved emotions. The needs and emotions could be related to history of abuse, neglect, social isolation, bullying and any other forms of trauma. Instead of growing up together with us, our inner child stays still, waiting to be seen, longing to be heard, yearning to have their needs answered.
• Compassion focused trauma work emphasized the importance to re-establish the sense of safety by recruiting our soothing system. Acknowledging our threat-system driven reactions to childhood trauma, we can practice calming these responses by focusing on the presence, reminding ourselves that we are no longer the helpless child in the past and supporting ourselves in a kind and nurturing attitude.
• These cards are designed to facilitate recovery from childhood trauma and the hurting inner child by adopting a more balanced mindset and self-compassionate attitude. They are written based on the rationale that while there is no quick fix to trauma, self-compassion could guide us through the healing journey.
• Use as reminders to cope with triggers or rumination in day to day life while healing from the traumatic impact of childhood trauma or as cue cards for compassionate letter writing to facilitate healing.
