A therapy model based on inner child work. It helps individuals connect their adult self with their inner child, which holds past emotions and trauma. This approach promotes healing by integrating both parts for emotional balance.
The model is based upon inner child work where the client is helped to connect between two parts of who they are. The first part is the adult and the second the inner child. The adult is the expert on the present and the inner child is an expert on the past.
The adult part of ourselves is the part that seeks therapy and functions as best as we can in our present lives. The child part of ourselves holds our emotions and reactions to people places and things.
When people grow up in dysfunction and trauma, the child part of us becomes exiled and repressed in us. When we grow into adult hood that child part still very much exists and often runs us in ways we don’t like or are not aware of.
