Through my personal and professional experience, I have found some of the most profound and lasting therapeutic work has come from healing one's inner child. I developed a ten-week intensive that targets each stage of development and to identify where ruptures occurred and to repair them creating emotional freedom.

Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development believes that each stage of life is associated with a specific psychological struggle. As a result, the struggle contributes to a major aspect of one’s personality. Erikson proposed a series of stages that individuals go through from infancy to adulthood, each characterized by a specific psychosocial conflict or challenge. Resolving these conflicts successfully contributes to healthy development and the formation of a positive identity.

In each stage of development for a person to become a confident and fully functioning adult the two conflicting ideas must be resolved. Trauma during any of these stages can lead to feelings of inadequacy later in life.

For example, if a person does not successfully resolve the trauma of trust versus mistrust during infancy, perhaps due to inconsistent caregiving or neglect one may develop a fundamental sense of mistrust in relationships later in life. As a result, this unresolved conflict can influence their ability to form trusting and intimate relationships as an adult.

Healing one's inner child is the gateway for self-understanding and personal growth so that you can live your most authentic and fulfilled life.
