Overview

Reparenting the Inner Child is a foundational course for anyone healing from childhood trauma and navigating the emotional patterns that still show up in adult life — especially in relationships, self-worth, and emotional regulation. In this deeply personal and educational session, Patrick draws from his own recovery, the neuroscience of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, and the clinical wisdom of his mentor Amanda Curtin to walk you through what the inner child and inner adult really are, how they interact, and why most of us are living with these two parts in conflict rather than harmony.

Using vivid analogies — the foster care parent welcoming a wounded child, tectonic plates grinding against each other, a smoke alarm that won’t stop going off — Patrick makes this work feel accessible and real. He then teaches the dominant/non-dominant hand dialoguing technique with two full sample dialogues, a step-by-step formula, and honest guidance on the common bumps in the road. The session closes with a 25-question self-assessment and a live Q&A where Patrick addresses real participant questions with warmth and candor.

Why This Matters

When a child grows up without consistent emotional safety, they often carry that deprivation into adulthood — continuing to neglect, criticize, or overwork themselves without realizing why. Reparenting is about interrupting that pattern. It's the process of learning how to offer yourself the protection, validation, and care that were missing, so your nervous system no longer has to stay in survival mode. This work isn't about blaming parents or "fixing" yourself — it's about restoring emotional safety, self-trust, and agency where they were never allowed to form.

Who It’s For

You suspect that unresolved childhood experiences are still shaping how you relate to yourself and others
You sense that something from the past is "running the show," even if you can't always name it clearly
You're beginning — or re-beginning — the work of relationship recovery and want to start with a solid emotional foundation
You want a structured, compassionate way to begin caring for your inner child — or you intellectually understand your trauma but still feel stuck emotionally or reactive in your relationships
