    Our Inner Child

    What if some of the ways you think, feel and respond today have roots in the experiences of your younger self? In Episode 03, Our Inner Child, we explore how childhood experiences can leave lasting impressions on the way we perceive ourselves, other people and the world around us. Drawing from the work of psychologist Jeffrey Young and Schema Therapy, we consider how patterns and perceptions formed during our formative years can become deeply established and continue to influence our lives into adulthood. This conversation invites us to look beyond our present reactions and become curious about what may lie underneath them. Why do certain situations affect us so deeply? Why do we repeatedly respond in particular ways? And could some of our present-day patterns be connected to earlier experiences and unmet needs? Through psychological reflection and a faith-informed lens, this episode is an invitation to understand the younger parts of ourselves with greater compassion and awareness — because understanding where a pattern began can be an important part of learning how to respond differently.
