As we begin to parent these inner parts, we begin to
create more safety, love, and connection within. We

begin to become the mother or father to our inner child
that it may have needed but never received.

The essence of the healing journey is the journey of the
inner child. We are born in a state of wholeness, but we

naturally acquire childhood wounds (the core wound).
As a result of these wounds, we recruit the rest of our

archetypes to protect these wounds (the contract).
These contracts are our inner defense mechanisms and
self-preservation tactics.

The healing begins when we examine these contracts,

see how they relate to the core wounds, and how
we can rewrite them to create more freedom and
empowerment within ourselves. This is the medicine.

Most of our physical and mental pain or illness is

related to these contracts. Pain arises in our body
and mind when the old contracts that kept us safe are
now holding us back from being free. The journey

from the ego to the soul is the journey from safety
into freedom. Exploring the nature of the child

archetype allows us to begin this journey towards
greater freedom.
