I would think that was only true if your "inner child" actually grew up. If there was still part of you that felt that way, but you didn't feel free to acknowledge it because that wasn't the proper grownup thing to do... Well, isn't that what brought us to therapy to begin with? Denying what was real and being who we were supposed to be?
Wouldn't really successful therapy allow you to continue to acknowledge those very real feelings, and comfort your own inner child?
