S2E38: Befriending Your Inner Child Part 1 with Brya Hanan

Friends,

Have you ever noticed an adult regress emotionally when faced with challenges—crying easily, throwing tantrums, or shutting down? These are signs that the wounded inner child is running the show.

In this two-part series, I’m joined by Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Brya Hanan, who shares her personal story of healing childhood trauma through inner child integration and her Catholic faith. Now, as a therapist, she helps others befriend their inner child, release old wounds, and move toward wholeness.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What it means when the inner child “takes over” in adult life
•  Brya’s journey of trauma, healing, and integration
• How Catholic faith and psychology can work together in therapy
• Practical ways to begin befriending your inner child
• Why wholeness—not perfection—is the true goal of healing

Whether you’re new to inner child work or seeking a faith-centered approach to trauma recovery, this conversation offers both hope and practical insight.
