Send us a textWhat happens when we heal the wounded child within us? For Chelsea Miller, inner child coach and trauma healer, this question isn't theoretical—it's the foundation of profound personal and generational transformation.Chelsea's story begins with a childhood marked by emotional neglect, teenage parents struggling with poverty, and the heavy responsibility of becoming a parental figure to her siblings at a young age. "I was more of a parent to them than a sibling," she shares. This early experience taught her to suppress her needs and make herself "small and least burdensome" to receive love, patterns that would follow her into adulthood.The perfectionism she developed led to a 4.0 GPA in high school but eventually manifested as debilitating anxiety and panic attacks. When the pressure became too much, she crashed in college, an experience that carried deep shame but ultimately became the catalyst for her healing journey. Through her work as a professional nanny, Chelsea discovered something remarkable: giving children the nurturing presence and care she never received was profoundly healing for her own inner child.This discovery evolved into her current work helping adults heal from childhood trauma by reconnecting with and "reparenting" their inner children. The process involves identifying emotions in the body, pinpointing memories where limiting beliefs formed, and imaginatively providing that child-self with the comfort and reassurance they needed but didn't receive. "We're going to rewrite those messages and help, encourage, and heal that so they can take that and bring it back into themselves," Chelsea explains.For parents struggling with consistency or effectiveness, Chelsea offers a powerful perspective: before focusing on parenting techniques, it's essential to heal your own inner wounds. "If you're lost and confused and a mess in here, how can you expect them to feel strong and secure in who they are?" This work creates ripples that extend beyond individual healing to transform how we raise the next generation.Ready to explore your healing journey?
