“Reconnecting With My Inner Child”

While undergoing MFR (Myofascial Release) for my shoulder, my therapist worked on the muscles in my neck, saying that they had rolled into themselves. I lost my inner child beginning at the age of 4 and she completely disappeared when I was six. I knew she was in hiding, and my psychotherapist and I worked a little in trying to find her, but it was really Emily (my MFR therapist) who triggered her release. She had hidden herself in the muscles in my neck. The day Emily released her, she played your CD “Songs for the Inner Child” while I cried and held my inner child for the first time in over 45 years. “You Can Relax Now” is my favorite on the album and it is my mantra for my little one when I feel she might be afraid and need to go back into hiding.
