Inner Child
A lot of mental blocks that constrain a satisfied grown-up life have their roots in more or less traumatic experiences during childhood.
These experiences are the reason why people in situations that touch injuries from the past feel injured again, they react over sensitively because the open wound is touched again and hurts. They feel thrown back into the traumatic experience, back to their childhood, they are a child again. At this moment they are the hurt child in the body of a grown-up, the 8-year-old in the body of a 36-year-old. Very often this reaction is unconscious or only partly conscious.
In the work with the inner child we discover every stage of childhood can have its problems if maturing does not take place. So together we have a look at all the stages that still cause problems today. When you can see where you got hurt you can embrace yourself and therefore heal. You can learn to be the mother and father that your inner child needs. A healed past is the foundation of free, aware and self-determined action in the present.
Inner-Child-work is possible in individual counseling or as a workshop.
