She stated that there are many ways to reconnect with your inner child or do inner child work, such as "play, music, old movies and games, which can be deeply healing."

The relationship expert and Founder of Engaged Humans said the following:

"It can help to reduce stress as play shifts our brain from survival mode into creativity and joy. Revisiting our childhood self can help us to develop self-compassion by understanding our younger needs and childhood wounds without judgment."

She expressed that when one reconnects with what made them feel alive before they "subscribed to society's norms and what we 'should' be,' they can be their true, authentic selves."

"Connecting with our inner child also helps to support our emotional regulation and help us become less reactive during adult chaos. This reconnection is also great for relationships because people who are at peace with themselves tend to show up more openly and warmly with others," Paula shared.
