In therapy one of the most important things you can do is to learn to acknowledge and care for your inner child.
Jung's "eternal child", Freud's unconscious and the child within us, today's inner child is the force behind our actions, emotions, attractions, wants and needs.
Getting to know her means that you will start behaving more like you are parenting a real child. This includes an open communication, boundaries to yourself and to others, and providing structure while taking care of that inner child's needs in a way that will balance her creative energy, emotions, thirst for adventure and fun in life with healthy habits, responsibility, and maturity.
