Coaching the Inner Child Through NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP):

A Journey Back to Wholeness
By Lara – Healing Naturally with Lara

There is a quiet voice within all of us—a part of ourselves that longs to be seen, heard, and nurtured. This voice belongs to our inner child—the emotional, sensitive, and deeply intuitive version of who we once were (and many of us still are, deep down).

I have first-hand over-and-over witnessed how reconnection with this inner child can bring profound healing. One of the most powerful tools I use to guide this process is Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP).

But what exactly is NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP), and how does it help in healing the inner child? Watch my YouTube video on Inner Child Healing and NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP) https://youtu.be/C-NPFG2IGQE?si=K4gZSzIDQwrlBYTa

Understanding the Inner Child

Before we deep dive into NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP), let us take a moment to understand the inner child.

Your inner child holds the memories, emotions, and experiences from your early years—both the joyful ones and the painful ones. When these childhood wounds go unacknowledged, they often show up in adulthood as:

  • Self-sabotage
  • People-pleasing
  • Fear of abandonment
  • Difficulty setting boundaries
  • Chronic anxiety or depression

By reconnecting with and re-parenting this inner part of ourselves, we will begin to heal patterns that may have kept us stuck for years. Watch my YouTube video on Inner Child Healing #1 https://youtu.be/w_G1kKnmqkw?si=NFAXeCI09rBbVe6C. Remember to subscribe and watch the whole series from #1-6.

What is NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP)?

NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP) is a powerful method of communication and personal development that explores how our thoughts (neuro), language (linguistic), and patterns of behaviour (programming) shape our reality.

Through NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP) techniques, we can rewire limiting beliefs, shift emotional responses, and create healthier thought patterns—all at a subconscious level. Watch my YouTube video on Reframing Negative thoughts https://youtu.be/eJ0GHXX79Fw?si=DmsaBxvzrV7A7WSZ

Now imagine combining that with inner child work. The results? Transformational.

Coaching the Inner Child Through NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP)

Here is how I guide my clients through this process:

1. Creating a Safe Space

Before any healing can happen, we need to create safety. Using gentle NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP) anchoring techniques, I help you access calm, grounded states. This allows your inner child to feel protected and ready to be heard. Watch the NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP) Experience on my YouTube channel https://youtu.be/6jHlNLj7XAA?si=Jky1APJ4i0B3eR6G

2. Identifying the Inner Voice

NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP) helps you identify the internal dialogue that may be rooted in childhood wounds. You may hear things like:

  • “I’m not good enough.”
  • “Love must be earned.”
  • “If I speak up, I’ll be rejected.”

Once we bring these beliefs into awareness, we begin the process of reframing.

3. Rewriting Limiting Beliefs

Through techniques like sub modalities, timeline therapy, and parts integration, we gently rewire those core beliefs. You begin to release the voice of the inner critic and reconnect with the voice of the nurturer—your adult self.

4. Reparenting with Compassion

This is where the real magic happens. With NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP), we can speak directly to the inner child, offering comfort, reassurance, and love. Many clients describe this as a “homecoming”—a moment where they finally feel whole, perhaps for the first time in years.

5. Integrating the New You Healing is not just about looking back; it is about moving forward. As your inner child feels more supported, your outer world begins to reflect that change—through stronger relationships, clearer boundaries, and deeper self-love.

Why freeing your Inner Child Naturally Matters

In a world that often encourages us to “fix” ourselves with quick solutions, I believe in honouring the slow, sacred process of natural healing.

Coaching the inner child through NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP) does not just change how you think—it transforms how you feel, how you love, and how you live.

You already have the wisdom and the power within you. Sometimes, all it takes is someone to walk with you back to that place where you can remember who you truly are.

Ready to Begin?

If this speaks to your soul, I would be honoured to guide you. Whether you are new to inner child work or have been on this path for a while, NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP) offers a deeply supportive, intuitive, and empowering way to heal.

Let us journey together—back to the child within, and forward into the life you were always meant to live. Watch my YouTube video on what to expect from your complimentary preparation call with me https://youtu.be/86uLIVF0X_k?si=KQtrKE7nVaz9JT0P
