RECLAIMING
YOUR WHOLE SELF
Children are sensitive beings with tender feelings.
In adulthood, it can be easy for us to forget how sensitive we were as children, and to deny how sensitive we still are. Children are like sponges, soaking in the emotional climate of their family system. As children, we were vulnerable to being hurt, and we instinctively acted to protect our tender hearts, pushing away parts of ourselves that didn’t get the approval or support of our caregivers.
Where did you get stuck? At what age did you experience the trauma that stopped you from thriving? Would you like to find the child within you who is still waiting for the loving care they needed? Or rediscover the young adult bravely starting out in the world, hoping to create a life of fun, comfort, and joy…
However you have been disappointed, the work that gets done now, to heal these abandoned parts of Self, changes your life and lasts forever.
THE DILEMMA OF A CHILD
Children must answer the impossible question, “How do I live in the world without being me?”
In early childhood, we are completely dependent on our caregivers for survival. When our family system falls short of respecting and honoring us as we are, we must answer the impossible question, “How do I live in the world without being me?” This is the dilemma of a child.
The therapeutic process is about understanding the compromises you made out of necessity, when you had only a child’s perspective and a child’s options. What would it be like to let go of those compromises and embrace your whole self? Come home to the person you’ve always strived to protect, and not yet fully known. Come home to yourself.
THE RESCUE MISSION
The rescue mission is movement into a new way of being.
Once you acknowledge how you were wounded by what occurred in childhood, there exists a choice. You now have the option to recognize the suffering and needs of the parts of you that have never been supported. You can have direct access to these neglected parts, bringing them to the emotional safety of a life that you now create for them—a life of compassion, self-love and care. Imagine having that choice today—to do for ourselves what was never done for us. If you have questions about how this process can happen for you, please contact me.
