Trauma and Treatment of the Inner Child
N Ditz
~ Friedrich Nietzsche"We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are. Whoever would partake of all good things must understand how to be small at times."

N Ditz
~ Robert Burney"We can learn to be responsible adults who can lovingly parent the wounded children inside us. It is a lot of work and it take time, but it is worth it. It can create the freedom to be able to let go, to be happy and joyous in the moment, no matter what is happening in our lives. It leads to empowerment, serenity, and the ability to have a more loving relationship with Self. Nothing you do in your life will be more rewarding or have more far reaching consequences than healing your wounded soul- which is what your wounded inner children represent."
