The Reclaiming and Healing Your Inner Child Programme is an online therapeutic programme to help identify, heal and move on from childhood wounds and pain points by connecting to your inner child and reparenting them to enhance recovery.

‘Inner Child’ is a concept used in popular psychology and spiritual healing to denote the childlike aspect of a person’s psyche.

Inner child work is a vital component of recovery because it reconnects us with a wounded element of ourselves: the child within. When we reconnect with this part of ourselves, we can begin to discover the root of many of our fears, phobias, addictions, insecurities and sabotaging life patterns as well as identify limiting belief systems which are no longer serving you and causing you difficulties.

“Inner child work is the fastest way to heal from addictions, anger, anxiety and stress-related problems” (John Bradshaw).

There are 7 main developmental stages to explore:

● Prenatal (before conception)

● Infancy (0-9 months)

● Toddler (9 months to 3 years)

● Pre-schooler (3-6 years)

● School-age ( 6- 11 years)

● Adolescence (12-18 years)

● Young adult (19-27 years old)

This Inner Child programme is uniquely designed for people either in therapy or recovery from addictions, codependency, anger issues, anxiety and stress, and those who are embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

This programme is designed to ‘connect and heal your inner child’. This is done via 1-2-1 sessions that include exploration, therapeutic intervention, therapeutic exercises, homework tasks and meditations. It’s an opportunity to connect, feel, see and hear the child within that may be hurt, scared, lonely, stuck, in need of love and attention or just wants to come out to play.

Each developmental stage is explored thoroughly throughout this process. At the end of the course, a meditation will connect all 7 stages and align the child with the adult you are now. This is where the true healing happens!

We were all once children, and still have that child dwelling within us. But most adults are unaware of this. And this lack of conscious 4 relatedness to our inner child is precisely where so many behavioural, emotional and relationship difficulties stem from.

Key Objectives of the Inner Child Programme are:

● To provide participants with a therapeutic safe setting to explore, reconnect, reclaim and re-parent their inner child

● Enhance knowledge and understanding of developmental stages and identify gaps in own development

● To begin to discover the root of many of our fears, phobias, addictions, insecurities, low self-esteem and sabotaging life patterns

● To identify limiting belief systems introjected during childhood, which are no longer serving you and causing you difficulties as an adult

● To see, hear, identify and acknowledge the pain points and wounds that have accumulated and give the child the opportunity to verbalise and release them

● emotionally contain and soothe our Inner Child, and allow the Competent Adult inside us to ‘attend to business’ out in the world

There are homework assignments and time needed between each session to connect with the child within and process the content of the sessions. Therefore sessions are held weekly and last for 1 hour each.

There is no time limit for Inner child work as it is personal to each individual. This will be discussed with you and scheduled once the booking is confirmed.
