Take the Inner Child Quiz!
Take the Inner Child Quiz that will answer the question: Do I Have Inner Child Wounds?
Inner child wounds can affect us in adulthood, because the wound stays in the subconscious mind where it is neatly tucked away until a trigger calls it out to the forefront. When a trigger hits one out of left field it can be devastating. Inner child wounds ranch from trauma, to abuse, to not getting your needs met and so much more.
A trigger is something that erupts during a stressful situation. When my dog died, I was hit with a trigger from childhood of a terror filled moment in a funeral mass when my grandmother was laid out in an open coffin. The death of my dog Luke triggered that emotion out of left field. Fortunately, I knew what was happening and got help to deal with the overwhelming fear. These triggers bring on very desperate moments in life. This was one of the reasons I wrote my new book, Discover the Power of the Secret Within - Healing your Inner Child to Manifest your Dreams.

“Rachel Devine as always strikes at the genuine innermost spirit of our lives. When the reading turned to her deep loss of her pet I felt the same helplessness and powerlessness she felt. This book is extremely motivating and gratifying knowing we can heal ourselves. If we are willing to follow some simple directions. Love you Ms Devine”
