Healing Your Inner Child: How Unmet Needs Show Up in Adult Relationships (and What to Do)
Did you know that the way you show up in relationships today is directly connected to the needs that weren't met when you were a child? In this episode of Elisha's Space, licensed counselor and author Elisha explores the psychology of inner child healing — and how unmet childhood needs quietly shape our adult attachment patterns, people-pleasing behaviors, fear of abandonment, and relational wounds.
Whether you struggle with anxious attachment, over-giving, boundary-setting, or feeling invisible in your relationships — this episode will help you understand why, and give you practical, faith-grounded tools to begin the healing process.
