Common causes of inner child wounds:

Abandonment & neglect in any form. Whether it be physical, emotional, or mental abandonment. Anytime you’ve felt left without or come up short when it comes to love, understanding, and support.

Abuse: Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse can place permanent scars on your psyche. Leaving one to feel embarrassed or disgusted with others and themselves.

Traumatic and dysfunctional family patterns or cycles: when there is a constant conflict whatever the reason can be a rather unsafe environment for an adolescent.
