Inner Child Therapy

Inner Child Therapies is based on the concept that it is important to clear negative emotions and beliefs that surround events from the past, in order to change behavioral patterns in the present. When a traumatic event in childhood is not resolved, a certain part of your psyche remains at that age. When a current situation reminds you of the past, it is possible to find yourself behaving like you did when you were a child and feeling disempowered and un-resourceful.

When we store emotions in our unconscious mind they form a gestalt, or memory file, based on a common theme or emotion. When the gestalt is triggered, all the associated emotions from the events that created it, become present in the moment, whether the current event warrants it or not. Gestalts are the structure of what is commonly called 'emotional baggage'.

Inner Child Therapies also focuses on the complex programming that we adopted from our parents, which may limit our potential in regards to attitudes around career, money, health and relationships. Often people consciously want to do the opposite of their parents, only to find that they sabotage themselves or procrastinate and don't know why. It is surprising just how many of our parents' habits and beliefs are embedded in our unconscious mind, and effect seemingly unrelated behaviours.

Stress, fear, anger, sadness, guilt and anxiety all effect well-being and the capacity to think clearly and be effective. Negative beliefs around worthiness, success and being lovable also affect the way others perceive us and therefore the quality of our relationships. When we can find the root cause of these emotions, reconnect to our abandoned aspects to hear, validate and meet unmet needs, we can begin to reintegrate and mature the parts of self that may have been left behind due to the impact of upbringing and socialisation. This allows life to be more in flow as a more authentic expression of self can emerge.
