You can heal your inner child and heal the childhood trauma.

You can get your life back because you are NOT your trauma!

Trauma is something that happened to you,

but it is NOT who you are!

Your wounded Inner Child will show up in your everyday life in behaviours and beliefs like:

• You feel that there is something wrong with you.
• You feel anxious and overwhelmed when a change is on the horizon, or when doing something new.
• You are a chronic people-pleaser.
• You have a deep fear of being abandoned or rejected.
• You are driven to be a super achiever, and perfectionist and have unrealistic expectations.
• You constantly criticize yourself, you don’t feel good enough or lovable.
• You have trouble with starting or finishing things.
• You are ashamed of experiencing strong emotions like sadness or anger or you suppress your emotions constantly.
• You struggle to say ‘no’, you feel very uncomfortable making decisions, and you are afraid to make a mistake.
• You feel responsible for everybody’s happiness, and at the same time forgetting about your own needs.

If you don’t heal your wounded part of yourself, it will always impact your present. As a result, you will feel like you are continuously living in the past. Living in the past, being in survival mode, is stealing your joy and harmony away.

The inner child healing process is a way to address your needs that haven’t been met as a child and heal the attachment wounds you have developed. We all have a younger part of ourselves that was never quite loved the right way or the way they needed as a child. Inner child work, like any type of inner work, involves creating a space where your subconscious is allowed to take the lead. Inner work is the act of going inside ourselves, to explore our true feelings and parts of us that may have been rejected and labeled as ‘inappropriate’ or ‘too much’ by others.

By allowing ourselves time to go within, we begin peeling back our everyday coping mechanisms (being avoidant, numbing our feelings, etc.) and can fully accept and integrate our subconscious into consciousness. And in this program, I help you, guide you and support you throughout this healing process.

If you are reading this, you probably feel it’s time for a change…

Change doesn’t have to be difficult. Change can be simple, convenient, fun, and fast if you have the therapeutic tools and someone to guide you on your journey.

Experiencing childhood trauma is one of the most damaging mental suffering we can experience. Neglect, witnessing domestic violence, national disasters, loss of a parent, and all types of abuse — psychological, emotional, sexual, and physical — are examples of childhood trauma. The after-effects of trauma that you experience later in life may depend on your age and when the trauma occurred.
Unlike simple stress, trauma changes your view of your life and yourself. It shatters your most basic assumptions about yourself and your world — “Life is good,” “I’m safe,” “People are kind,” “I can trust others,” “The future is likely to be good” — and replaces them with feelings like “The world is dangerous,” “I can’t win,” “I can’t trust other people,” or “There’s no hope.”

“The essence of trauma is disconnection from ourselves. Trauma is not terrible things that happen from the other side—those are traumatic. But the trauma is that very separation from the body and emotions.” – Gabor Maté

“Healing from trauma can also mean strength and joy. The goal of healing is not a papering-over of changes in an effort to preserve or present things as normal. It is to acknowledge and wear your new life – warts, wisdom, and all – with courage.” – Catherine Woodiwiss
