Inner Child:
Examining your relationship with yourself

"Our lives are shaped, in almost equal measure, by those who  have loved us and by those who couldn't love us." - Joel Brass

This weekend seminar shows us:

• The buried life long pain that we are still carrying around with us.
• How to become unstuck from blaming others for our pain.
• How to begin healing our pain on our own.
• How to be the primary care-giver to your inner child.

The emotional pain of the past is not necessarily in the past at all.  It is in the present and the future.  It spills out of us in troubling, hurtful and destructive patterns that defeat our marriages and most important relationships.  It spills out in our substance and activity addictions.  It spills out onto our children in the form of reactions that are way out of proportion to the events that triggered them.  It spills out in the chronic levels of low self-esteem we feel in spite of our efforts, achievements and aging.

The Inner Child Seminar will help us to discover the unhealed wounds and emotional damage that we still carry by returning to the most formative people events and moments of our lives.  These injuries, if discounted and ignored, will keep us trapped.  At the same time, blaming others for our pain will keep us stuck.  Freedom and release can only occur by our willingness to now be responsible for what we need to do to heal.  This seminar will show you what is involved in taking on the role of inner parenting, by learning, as the adults we now are, how to be the primary care- giver to that inner child; how to begin to be a grown-up like the grown-up who as a child, we wanted and longed for; like the grown-up who never came.

We are legitimate victims of our world, of our upbringing, of our ignorance.  The victim we are must be attended to and healed.  It is the only way to keep us from turning into being the perpetrators of the same pain we experienced as children.
