Each of us has the desire to be cared for, loved and nurtured. That little child inside of you, (even when you are an adult), is called your “inner child.”
It is a free spirit that is emotional, sensitive, fun-loving, joyful, imaginative, and creative. Your childhood spirit may have been tamed, lost, or forgotten, but it is still somewhere inside you. It can influence our decisions, even when we are unaware because our inner child is part of our beliefs about ourselves. That inner child may need healing and support if it was hurt, neglected, frustrated, or abused during childhood.
Even if you have masked, or hidden the inner child, it may be causing you to be worried and fearful of being treated badly. People often ignore their inner child if they have felt guilty or “not good enough.”
Our inner child may be hidden if we had to pretend our family was happy and healthy, even when it wasn’t. Sometimes when we dream or daydream, we can picture what the little child is like.
We know our inner child is active when we:
- Lose ourselves in fun
- Enjoy playing with games, toys, or pets
- Get emotional looking at old photo albums, scrapbooks or home movies about our childhood
- Still think as a child does, seeking to please parents or extended families
The workshops are centred around healing your inner child so that you are able to find peace and hopefully move forward, and therefore you can let go of those feelings of being stuck in the past.
We run group workshops which are normally taught over a two day weekend. However, we also rune week day workshops over 6 – 8 weeks, in 2 hour sessions however this course can also be taught 1-2-1.
