In this reflective monologue, the speaker recounts a breathwork session where she visualized her younger self cowering in a dark room, symbolizing suppressed inner child trauma. She explains that her work with clients focuses on reclaiming this inner child, linking the trauma to the sacral chakra—the seat of sensuality, creativity, and the metaphorical "sacred womb." Acknowledging that many have shut down this space for safety, she describes reaching out to her younger self, holding and allowing her to cry, which marks the beginning of a soul retrieval process. The narrative intertwines personal experience, therapeutic concepts, and spiritual language to illustrate a pathway toward healing sexual trauma and reconnecting with creative, sensual energy.

now that we're taking a trip back here. One day during breathwork, I saw my younger self cowering in a dark room. And I do a lot of inner child work. I have done on myself, but with my clients, because that is the piece that needs to be reclaimed. That is the piece where there has been a lot of trauma, and I want to say a lot of sexual trauma has evolved there from the sacral chakra because that is our inner child, that is our sacred womb, that is our sensual creative space, and a lot of us had to shut it down in order to be safe. I, I do get it. Ah, so my younger self, she wasn't scary, she was scared, she was hiding. I reached out, I held her, I let her cry. That moment began my soul retrieval.
