Inner Child Journey ( Study Practice )
As part of my training i am giving introductory sessions free of charge.
Many of the emotional patterns we experience in adult life are rooted in early relational experiences and unconscious adaptations developed during childhood. Difficulties with boundaries, fear of rejection or abandonment, self-criticism, emotional withdrawal, people pleasing, intimacy struggles or recurring emotional reactions often emerge from protective mechanisms that were created very early in life.
Inner Child Work is a meditative and awareness-based process that supports the exploration of these patterns through body awareness, emotional observation and conscious presence.
Rather than focusing only on intellectual understanding, this work invites a deeper connection with the emotional and somatic memory held within the body.
At the centre of this approach is the recognition that different inner dynamics coexist within us:
-
the emotional part of ourself ( inner child ),
-
the internalised parental voices (sometimes experienced as the inner critic or superego),
-
and the mature observing adult capable of awareness, grounding and compassion.
Very often, the inner critic develops through messages absorbed during childhood and continues to shape our behaviours unconsciously through judgment, shame, control or self-suppression.
Methodology and Techniques
Inner child work is a multidimensional approach that combines active and passive meditations, body exercises, guided regressions, journaling, somatic work and breathwork techniques.
Sessions includes:
-
Gestalt dialogue work,
-
Somatic exploration
- Self-observation practices.
-
Breathwork and body awareness
-
Timeline and subconscious pattern work,
-
Meditation practices
The work is complemented by daily practices such as journaling, mindfulness meditations and self-observation.
Practitioners emphasise that participants learn to recognise the phases of childhood development and understand how events from the first seven years influence adult life. The aim is to retrieve wounded natural qualities and integrate them in a healthy way, creating a more complete vision of oneself
