Heal the Wounds Within: Inner Child Work, Shame Release, and Self Forgiveness with Anjalia McGoldrick

Some wounds are not from one moment, but years of surviving what you never should have faced. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with trauma-informed psychotherapist Anjalia McGoldrick to explore how real healing begins when you finally slow down and look within.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in old patterns, gets easily triggered in relationships, or quietly believes it is too late to change. You will learn how to spot inner-child signals, stop projecting pain onto others, and rebuild self-worth through compassion, forgiveness, and daily practice.

About the Guest:

Anjalia McGoldrick is a trauma-informed psychotherapist, metaphysician, and motivational speaker. She founded Life in Balance Counseling and Wellness Center and is the author of The Child I Left Behind.

Key Takeaways:

• Treat triggers as signals: name the emotion, then ask “where do I feel this in my body?”

• Replace blame with curiosity: “What old story is this activating in me?”

• Practice inner-child reparenting: respond with reassurance, not criticism.

• Watch for avoidance habits (overworking, numbing behaviors) and choose one honest step instead.

• Use forgiveness as self-release: write what happened, what you learned, and what you needed then.
