Healing the inner child is developing a strategy or strategies to heal an unmet need from childhood that has negatively affected you as an adult. You can choose to heal the inner child alone or with a professional such as a therapist. If you want to try alone before speaking with a professional, some of the strategies include but are not limited to reparenting, visualization, self-reflection, and journaling.
Children are born happy. If you observe babies of any nation, any culture, any race, or ethnicity, they are happy. Babies only cry when they need something like food, a fresh diaper, or to sleep. Most babies lay on their backs, wave their arms and feet in the air, and are at peace being new in a new world. It is the difficulties of life that slowly change the happiness we are born with as children. The difficulty can be a dysfunctional family, distressed community, or chaotic environment such as a shortage of food. Eventually, as an adult, we must address the large and small traumas from our childhoods. This is what is means to revisit and heal the inner child.
