Have you been to therapy in the past, but feel like you’re still not ‘done’? Do you get the feeling that your childhood is still showing-up in today, and effecting your life in ways you can’t control?
If you’re ready to do really intensive inner-child work so you can finally move-on from your difficult childhood, schedule a consultation with me to get started.
What do Inner Child Healing & Reparenting sessions look like?
A guided exploration of your internal world, where you will get to know the 'parts' of you.
To start, I’ll guide you to focus inward and connect with your internal parts. These parts may represent different aspects of your personality, emotions, past experiences, or past versions of yourself (the inner child). Then, I’ll help you explore and identify these parts, understanding their roles and how they interact.
Together, we'll work to identify the 'trailheads & triggers' from your everyday parenting experiences.
We’ll identify “trailheads” from your daily parenting life; these would be troubling emotions or reactions you have around your kids’ behaviors or the relationships with them overall.
Follow the trailheads to your core attachment injuries and assess the needs.
Through the IFS process, we’ll follow these trailheads to the ‘core wound’, which is the root of why you are reacting so intensely or problematically with your kid.
In a gentle and compassionate dialogue, you will have the opportunity to communicate directly with these parts. I’ll ask questions to help you understand the concerns, needs, and underlying emotions of these parts.
Provide the parts of you with what they always needed and never got.
You'll have opportunities to respond to the needs of these parts, for example, offering security and protection to an inner child part that felt terrified and alone.
The goal is for you to establish a trusting relationship with these parts and develop a deeper understanding of their purposes and how they may have been impacted by past experiences.
Create a sense of cohesion and intentional leadership within you, reducing the levels of chaos, overwhelm & reactivity.
As each session progresses, I’ll support you in developing self-leadership and a compassionate stance towards your parts.
You will learn to access your authentic, core Self, which acts as a calm and compassionate center within you. This Self helps in guiding the healing and transformation of your parts.
Your Revolution.
While we spend our sessions focused on your attachment system and trauma recovery, you’ll also spend time outside of sessions on The Foundations Course and listening to the Safe and Sound Protocol.
The simultaneous combination of these three interventions gives you everything you need to revolutionize the way you show up for your kids and your everyday life.
You’ll start to feel a sense of calm, confidence and connection like never before.
Meet with me from the comfort of your home for specialized, Attachment Trauma-Focused Therapy.
I focus exclusively on inner-child healing. I use a model of therapy called “Internal Family Systems” or “IFS”, for short. Please click here to learn more about IFS.
If you are to work with me, you must be comfortable using this model.
