The Ground She Grew From An Inner Child Healing Journal for the Earliest Years

The Ground She Grew From: The Earliest Years

An Inner Child Healing Journal - Volume One

There is a girl inside of you who came into this world before she had any words for what she felt. She was shaped long before she could remember; by arms that held her or didn't, by a world that answered her cries or left her waiting. She has been waiting her whole life to finally be met. This is a place to do that gently, at your own pace, with no one watching.

About the Series

The Inner Child Healing Series is a collection of trauma-informed journals designed to help women reconnect with the girl they once were, at every stage of her becoming. Each journal stands completely on its own and can be used in any order. The Ground She Grew From is the first in the series, reaching back to the earliest years; before memory, before words, to the very foundation everything else was built upon.

How to Use It

There is no right way to move through this journal. You can go in order, or turn to whatever section is calling you. You can skip a prompt and come back to it later, or never. Many of these years live below memory, So you'll often be working with what you sense, what you were told, or what you can imagine, rather than what you clearly recall; a journal you can return to for years, at your own pace, in your own way.
