You know those conflicts where you go from 0 to 100 in no time?
Or you say something benign and your partner reacts with rage?
It’s likely your inner child is making an appearance. I’ll be honest - when I’ve heard about the “inner child” in the past, I’ve rolled my eyes. But, after recording this episode, I have an entirely new understanding of this concept. And let me tell you, it’s playing out in all of our relationships.
This week we’re speaking with Saadia Z. Yunus, LMFT, about how our inner child shows up in our relationships. We talked about what the inner child really is, how to know when it’s showing up, and how to manage these sensitivities effectively.
