I’m Not Your Shrink

Is That Really You… or Your Inner Child? How to Recognize and Heal Emotional Triggers

40 min • 3 april 2025

Have you ever reacted in a way that felt… bigger than the moment? Maybe your partner forgets to check in, and suddenly you feel unimportant or abandoned. Or you receive a small piece of feedback and spiral into shame.


You might wonder, “Why am I like this?”


In this episode, Dr. Tracy guides you through how to identify when your inner child is showing up—and how to begin healing those younger parts of you that still carry unmet needs and emotional wounds.


This episode explores:


What the inner child really is (and what it isn’t)


The subtle signs your inner child is driving your reactions


A personal story of when Dr. Tracy's own inner child took the wheel—and how she did the work


The exact steps Dr. Tracy uses with clients to heal emotional triggers and reparent themselves with compassion


Why understanding your inner child can transform not just your relationship with yourself, but with your partner and your loved ones


If you’ve ever said, “I know better, but I still react this way,” this episode will help you move from self-blame to self-understanding—and offer you a clear path to healing.


Press play now to begin the powerful process of reconnecting with your inner child in a way that’s healing, grounded, and life-giving.
