Relationships are at the core of our human experience. Whether it’s with a partner, family member, friend, or even ourselves, the quality of our relationships shapes our emotional and spiritual well-being. But what happens when our relationships are weighed down by unresolved trauma, past-life influences, unhealed inner wounds, or the shadows of our psyche?
Do you have troubled relationships? Do you self-sabotage or carry them far too long because you fear being alone? Do you get into abusive or noncommittal relationships? Do you feel victimised in your relationships, or are there always conflicts in your relationships? Or do people drift away or ghost you? Are you tired of heartbreaks or waiting for others to change in your relationships? Do you want to take charge of the state and quality of your relationships? Then, we are here to help!
Are you willing to become a better version of yourself? Reluctant right? But when you are in a relationship, it becomes easier. This does not mean bending backwards or being manipulated to change. It simply means being willing to relate to another human being’s story and perspective. A person who is different from us and has a different backstory and triggers. That is maturity.
We are as healthy as our relationships: We grow through our relationships. Through our ability to relate to another human being. Otherwise, we would all start to believe that we are perfect. Emotionally immature adults may either avoid relationships altogether, or indulge in superficial relationships or marry someone who is a replica of their own inner being. Otherwise, they might spend the rest of their lives trying to mould them into their own replica. Even if they would go to therapy and start with the sentence, “Please change my spouse!” Or “Please fix my mother.” I wish they would become a better person. But then, years later, we realise that that is our job. That is how growth happens, when we marry the proverbial wrong person!
At Inner Journeys, we believe that healthy, fulfilling relationships are the foundation of a balanced and joyful life. However, many of us carry unresolved emotional wounds, past-life karma, and limiting patterns that influence our ability to connect deeply with others. Our holistic approach combines several powerful healing modalities to help individuals heal from the inside out, fostering better relationships with themselves and others. The most important aspect is that the missing link in healing is you, so take charge of your healing and relationships today!
What does Surrender mean in Relationships?
Surrender is the art of accepting people and situations exactly as they are — without fighting, without wishing they were different just to suit our own comfort. The moment we release that inner resistance, peace begins to replace the struggle.
When we make peace with “what is,” we free ourselves from the cycle of frustration and disappointment, and open the door to clarity and solutions. We no longer waste our energy trying to change people — something that was never in our control to begin with. And in letting go of that hope, we find something even more valuable: our own inner freedom. When we begin to see divine perfection in each relationship, only then can we recognise the role in the dysfunctional dynamics. That is when we ask questions like: What do I have to learn from this? More importantly, what do I have to change in myself? to grow through our relationships.

Anima-Animus in Relationship Dysfunction
The concepts of Anima and Animus, introduced by psychologist Carl Jung, represent the feminine and masculine aspects within every individual. These archetypal energies influence our emotions, behaviour, and interactions with others, often operating unconsciously. When these energies are out of balance or unintegrated, they can contribute to relationship dysfunction, misunderstandings, and recurring emotional patterns. Read more

The Akashic Records hold the blueprint of your soul’s journey — all the thoughts, experiences, and emotions from your past lives, present life, and potential futures. When we access these records, we can uncover the root causes of relationship challenges that may have originated in previous lifetimes or unresolved karmic patterns. By healing these past influences, you gain insight and clarity, allowing you to create healthier, more conscious relationships in the present.

Next step: We can use Karmic Healing to bring clarity and healing to a specific relationship or any strained connections in your life. However, while karmic healing can resolve about 50% of the issue, relationships are also deeply influenced by behavioral patterns.
True healing happens when both individuals are willing to recognize and shift their behaviors. That’s why we always recommend Hypnotherapy alongside Karmic Healing for deeper transformation. It helps address subconscious beliefs, emotional triggers, and patterns that keep repeating, allowing you to build healthier, more harmonious relationships. 💙
2. Hypnotherapy: Rewiring Subconscious Patterns for Healthier Bonds
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for transforming the subconscious patterns that influence how you interact with others. Our minds hold beliefs, emotions, and behaviors that often stem from past experiences. Through hypnotherapy, we can access these deeper layers of the mind, allowing you to release negative beliefs about love, intimacy, or worthiness and replace them with new, empowering patterns that foster better connections with yourself and others. Read more
How Hypnotherapy Improves Relationships:
• Resolve past traumas or heartbreaks that keep you guarded or disconnected.
• Reprogram limiting beliefs about love, trust, and vulnerability.
• Enhance emotional intelligence and empathy.
• Create stronger, more open lines of communication in relationships.
3. Inner Child Healing: Healing Wounds from the Past for Emotional Freedom
Your inner child holds the emotional memories of your earliest relationships — particularly those with parents or caregivers. If these early bonds were marked by neglect, rejection, or trauma, they may still be influencing your current relationships, manifesting as insecurity, fear of abandonment, or co-dependency.
Often, the challenges we face in relationships stem from unresolved childhood wounds. Inner Child Healing addresses the part of you that carries these emotional scars, helping you heal unmet needs, abandonment, and the fear of intimacy. By reconnecting with your inner child, you develop greater compassion for yourself, which in turn allows you to show up more authentically in your relationships. Inner Child Healing allows you to reconnect with and nurture your wounded inner child, providing the love, safety, and validation they missed. Read more

• Creates healthier, more secure relationship patterns by addressing unmet emotional needs.
• Develop a deeper sense of self-love, leading to more fulfilling relationships.
• Break free from patterns of co-dependency and emotional withdrawal.
4. Shadow Work: Embracing and Integrating the Shadow Self
Your “shadow” represents the parts of yourself that you’ve repressed or denied — often out of fear, shame, or societal conditioning. These shadow aspects can unconsciously influence your relationships, leading to projection, conflict, or emotional distance. Through Shadow Work, you learn to embrace and integrate these hidden aspects of yourself, allowing for deeper authenticity, self-acceptance, and harmony in your relationships.
Shadow Work is the practice of integrating the aspects of yourself that you have repressed or denied. These hidden parts, often formed in response to trauma or societal conditioning, can negatively impact your relationships. Through shadow work, you learn to embrace all parts of yourself—both light and dark—leading to greater self-awareness and healthier interactions with others. Read more

• Break patterns of projection and emotional reactivity.

Suggestive Case Study: From Relationship Dysfunction to Harmony through Holistic Healing
Case Study 1: Rajesh (name changed for privacy), Age: 43
A globetrotting life coach. His marriage was heading for divorce, while his son was being pushed again to become an overachiever like him – a replica.
Luckily, Inner Child Healing and Shadow Work saved him and his marriage. When he realised his childhood wounds, dysfunctional patterns and emotional numbness coming from an abusive and absent father.
Thereafter came a big revelation – A Generational pattern of overachiever men, who were overachievers at careers but underachievers in relationships as they were workaholics and foul-mouthed and critical both as husbands and fathers.
Case Study 2: Sarah (name changed for privacy), Age: 36
Struggling with recurring unhealthy relationship patterns, feelings of unworthiness, and difficulty trusting partners. Sarah had been through multiple relationships where she experienced betrayal, emotional unavailability, and a fear of intimacy.
Step 1: Akashic Records Healing – Uncovering Karmic Patterns
During the initial Akashic Records Healing session, we accessed Sarah’s soul records to uncover patterns from her past lives and karmic relationships. It was revealed that she had a repeating karmic contract with emotionally unavailable partners, dating back several lifetimes. These past experiences created deep emotional imprints of abandonment and mistrust.
Through the Akashic Records, we discovered that Sarah had made a soul agreement with one of her past-life partners to experience emotional challenges in this lifetime as part of her soul’s growth. Understanding this allowed Sarah to reframe her current relationship struggles as opportunities for healing rather than perpetual suffering.
Results:
• Gained deep clarity on why she kept attracting emotionally unavailable partners.
• Released some of the emotional burdens of betrayal by realizing the higher purpose of these challenges in her soul’s journey.
Step 2: Hypnotherapy – Reprogramming Subconscious Beliefs
With insights from the Akashic Records, we moved to hypnotherapy to address the subconscious beliefs driving Sarah’s behaviors in relationships. In a deep state of hypnosis, Sarah explored her fears of intimacy and rejection. We identified a subconscious belief formed in childhood that she was not worthy of love and that love always leads to pain.
During the hypnotherapy sessions, we reprogrammed these beliefs by introducing positive affirmations, visualization of healthy relationships, and anchoring feelings of love and safety within her subconscious mind.
Results:
• Rewrote limiting subconscious beliefs about love, trust, and self-worth.
• Felt an immediate shift in her confidence and emotional resilience, allowing her to approach relationships with less fear and more openness.
Step 3: Inner Child Healing – Healing Childhood Emotional Wounds
Next, we addressed unresolved emotional wounds through Inner Child Healing. Sarah’s fear of abandonment was rooted in her early childhood when she experienced emotional neglect from her parents, who were often unavailable. This neglect shaped her deep-seated fear that those she loved would leave her, and it affected her ability to form secure attachments in adult relationships.
We guided Sarah through a healing process where she reconnected with her inner child in a safe, loving environment. In this session, she nurtured her inner child, offering the love, protection, and validation that was missing during her formative years.
Results:
• Sarah was able to heal her inner child’s sense of abandonment, allowing her to stop seeking external validation from romantic partners.
• She gained the ability to self-soothe and fulfill her emotional needs from within, reducing the neediness that often led to codependency in relationships.
Step 4: Shadow Work – Integrating Repressed Aspects of Herself
As we continued working together, Sarah began exploring shadow work to confront parts of herself that she had repressed due to fear of judgment. Sarah had unknowingly suppressed her emotional needs and vulnerability, always appearing “strong” to avoid being hurt. However, this created distance in her relationships, as she avoided fully expressing her true emotions.
Through shadow work, we helped Sarah embrace her emotional vulnerability as a strength rather than a weakness. By acknowledging and integrating these repressed parts of herself, Sarah began to experience more emotional balance and honesty in her relationships.
Results:
• Sarah accepted and integrated her need for emotional closeness, which she had previously denied.
• She became more authentic in her relationships, expressing her true needs and desires without fear of judgment or rejection.
Step 5: Life Between Lives (LBL) Regression – Soul-Level Healing and Relationship Clarity
In the final stage of our work, we conducted a Life Between Lives (LBL) Regression session to connect with Sarah’s soul-level understanding of her relationships. During the session, Sarah entered a deep trance state and connected with her spirit guides and soul group. She reviewed her pre-birth plan, where it was revealed that her soul had chosen these challenging relationship dynamics as a path to learn self-love, emotional resilience, and forgiveness.
Sarah discovered that her current relationship patterns were not a punishment but a part of her soul’s growth and evolution. This higher understanding empowered her to release resentment toward past partners and view her relationships through the lens of love and forgiveness.
Results:
• Sarah gained profound soul-level insight into her relationship struggles, understanding them as part of her soul’s chosen lessons.
• She felt a deep sense of peace and closure, allowing her to forgive both herself and her past partners.
Outcome: A New Approach to Relationships
After completing her journey through these healing modalities, Sarah reported significant improvements in her relationships:
• She stopped attracting emotionally unavailable partners and began to form deeper, more secure connections with others.
• She felt more confident and emotionally balanced, no longer relying on external validation from her partners.
• Her communication improved, as she was able to express her true feelings and needs without fear.
• She found inner peace and emotional freedom by understanding the higher purpose behind her relationship challenges.
Summary
By integrating Akashic Records Healing, Hypnotherapy, Inner Child Healing, Shadow Work, and Life Between Lives (LBL) Regression, Sarah was able to heal her past emotional wounds, reprogram limiting beliefs, and gain clarity on her soul’s purpose in relationships. These transformative tools empowered her to break free from old patterns, fostering healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
