Fear / Phobias and Role of Inner child therapy.... So often we come into this world carrying the fear of our parents as it is passed down to us & lived through us. When we really examine our fears about something, we sometimes notice that the fear we have is not based on our own experience. Often, if we trace our fear back to its source, we find that one of our parents may have handed it down to us. For example, your mother or father may have had an intense fear of lack of money, stemming from their own life experiences. If that fear was not resolved by the time you came into the picture, chances are you inherited it. Meanwhile, you may have no actual experience of lacking money, so being fearful doesn’t make sense & it may even block you from doing certain things you want to do. Inner child therapy helps to release it.
