Psychologist Dr. Nicole LePera explains that the inner child isn't a therapeutic abstraction but a body-based memory system, one that formed before you had language, logic, and long before you had any say in the matter.
Those implicit emotional memories don't retire when you hit adulthood -- they keep making decisions for you.
