How to understand CONDITIONING and to manifest healthy relationships as partners and parents
WHAT IS THE “INNER CHILD”?
The “Inner Child” is a part of our psyche that keeps locked old painful memories, traumas,and pent-up emotions; but the inner child is also the part in us that carries our full potential, the innate aspects of our essence, all of our potential.
The connection we have with our inner child is the foundation of all other relationships in our lives … Our inner system for interacting with the others and with the world is built on the ways we have felt LOVE in our family as children, what we have learned about ourselves and the world from the environment, and those early experiences have shaped us with a personality that once was a coping strategy, but now is only a restriction to our freedom and creativity. If there were many unprocessed traumas and berried emotions, we remain at the emotional age of the child we’ve been, and we’re unable in the present to act as a mature adult. Most of the time we live in our past, react from the traumas and we are stuck in unproductive behaviors or toxic relationships.
In this world-famous process - primal therapy – healing of the inner child - we’ll go back in time from the age of 12 to conception, become aware of the conditioning formed in these first years and the layers of false personalities we had to acquire in order to adapt to the family environment. Old emotions that affect our lives as adults will be released, creating a bridge back to our true self, so that it can find expression in new forms of creativity and connection. As we work through the issues of every stage of childhood, we regain some essential qualities - our natural intelligence, innocence, inspiration, courage, our ability to set healthy boundaries, our joy and laughter, the sense of inspiration in life, self-love, and etc. We will get in touch with and our inner child, and that sets the foundation for better intimate relationships and for our opening to love.
Some of the approaches used include regression, guided meditations, breath therapy, gestalt, counseling, visualization, art therapy, journalling.
The process is offered as a residential intensive group or in individual sessions.
