Into the Depths: Healing the Silenced Child Within.

When we think about childhood wounds, we often picture raised voices, harsh discipline, or neglect. But some of the most enduring wounds are inflicted not through what is said or done—but through silence. When a parent freezes a child out emotionally or silences their voice, the damage can echo for decades, shaping how that child sees themselves, others, and the world.

These wounds don't simply vanish with age—they resurface in adulthood, often in our struggles with intimacy, trust, creativity, or self-worth. Working with a depth psychotherapist can be a powerful way to explore these inner child wounds.
