528: How Inner Child Work Can Transform Relationships | Tracy Brown

Episode Summary Have you ever wanted to change a relationship with someone you love, but had no idea where to begin?

In this episode, I'm joined by Tracy Brown, one of my Adult Chair coaches, for a vulnerable conversation about how inner child work, parts work, and speaking from the heart helped her transform her relationship with her father.

Tracy shares how she moved through old hurt, resentment, and the story that her dad did not really want to be with her. After working with the younger parts of herself that felt forgotten and not special, she was able to speak her truth without blame, open her heart, and create a completely different outcome than her ego could have imagined.

Key Takeaways The ego creates stories when we feel hurt, rejected, forgotten, or not prioritized Stories can make us believe there is only one way someone can prove they love us Parts work helps us identify the younger parts that are carrying old pain Tracy discovered a three-year-old part of herself that felt lonely, sad, forgotten, and not special Emotional release can create more space, softness, and compassion in the body Speaking from the heart is different than speaking from the head or ego Vulnerability invites a different kind of response from the other person When we speak our truth without blame, we create space for deeper connection The ego bases the future on what has happened in the past Staying present allows the outcome to be better than we could have imagined Journaling after inner work helps with integration and deeper understanding Inner child work is ongoing, and younger parts may still need love and attention after a breakthrough Resources from this Episode:
