Childhood is a crucial period in our lives when we learn to form relationships, build trust, and communicate with others. However, for many women, self-included, girlhood experiences have left deep emotional wounds that impact our adult relationships. If unhealed, these wounds can keep grown women from experiencing the love and intimacy we desire.

If love and intimacy are what you desire, healing girlhood wounds is a must.

Healing girlhood wounds can be difficult, especially if women aren’t aware they exist. Burying girlhood wounds is how the little girl in us survived our childhood traumas and taking a shovel to excavate these wounds can be too painful a task.

But again, if love and intimacy are what you desire, healing the little girl in you is a must.

Why?

Because little girls don’t make healthy relationship partners. The wounded little girl acts out, she often feels unsafe and insecure, and she is extremely needy. This makes having a healthy relationship where love and intimacy thrive nearly impossible.
