In this tender and emotional session of My Imaginary Therapist, a single photo cracked me wide open — three-year-old me, barefoot in Nairobi, holding a black gate and staring at my mom.
For the first time, I didn’t just see a memory. I saw baby Ellen — someone I needed to hold, love, and finally acknowledge.
That moment became a deep reflection on:
🌱 Inner child healing and why it matters
💛 Practicing self-compassion in real time
🌍 Seeing old versions of ourselves with new eyes
✨ Remembering the parts of us we sometimes forget If you’ve ever been surprised by emotions you didn’t see coming, this one will resonate.
