This sculpture beautifully captures our inner child wanting to connect but how sometimes our adult selves get in the way, or just don't know how to connect. This illustrates how it can be a challenge to connect with others when there has been past hurts, wounds, trauma and unmet needs. The good news is we can learn how to recognize this deeper part of ourselves. We can heal and care for our inner child. Then, we can develop deeper connections and intimacy in our relationships when we do!

When we experience trauma, our beliefs and assumptions can get rattled. Our bodies are affected in addition to our minds. The good news is that the effects of trauma on our nervous system can be reversed!
