Those festively painted stacking dolls always fascinate. They start with a reasonable size doll that twists in half and reveals a smaller version, which then twists in half and continues for another three or four twists until you find a very tiny version of the larger dolls… a journey to uncover one’s inner child.

We have heard about the inner child and its impact on us as adults. The same is true with every phase of our lives. Perhaps none calls out to us the way the baby does – the one that still needs our care at a visceral level, that has yet to learn that they can now fend for themself.

Each successive doll reflects the next level of growth impacting our larger self, the protective layer around all our growing up and reasoning.

The beauty of hypnotherapy is the gentle twisting and revealing of our layers. It allows us to revisit things we have padded around our most basic needs, beliefs, times of love, our fears. What happened there? Does it still serve a purpose? What does that smaller, inner self need to know to continue forward into this world?

Sometimes, hypnotherapy goes beyond the smallest version of ourselves. Sometimes it reminds us of beliefs we have brought into this lifetime that may or may not serve us well. Or unlock dormant strengths we can now call upon.

I like thinking about our spiritual journeys like unnesting, revealing ourselves down to the very core of our existence where unconditional love for self is always present.

Do you wish to have a conversation with your earlier self? Do you sometimes feel the need to wrap yourself in a warm blanket to feel safe? Let’s have a discovery call and see how you can feel your strongest, most powerful self, inviting all the lessons and strengths to consciously join you.

I hope to speak with you soon.
