Question 1

Why I Created this Course (click here to read)

Accepted Answer

I remember when I was first drawn to emotional healing. I thought I had had a great childhood. The problems were that I kept being drawn to men who weren’t available and ignoring the available ones. And I had an inner critic ready to crush me for the smallest mistake. And I often felt odd, out of place, and lonely. But I didn’t connect any of that with my early family life. I absolutely believed our “family story” – that we were a happy, close family and Dad’s drinking was never a problem.

Then something interesting happened. As I did Focusing with my current life issues, I kept getting taken back to my childhood. When I explored why I had so much ambivalent longing for male company, I kept seeing memories of my father turning away from me when I was small. When I spent time with my feelings of being odd and left out in social situations, I kept seeing memories of my mother holding my baby brother and ignoring me.

Patterns in my current life made so much more sense when I connected them with painful emotional events in my early life. And more importantly, the present got lighter and freer when I acknowledged the feelings of that younger me.

Most of you are probably not as clueless as I was. You probably know that a lot of the limitations in your current life are connected to early life traumas. (I am defining “trauma” as any event or set of circumstances that was persistently painful and led to limiting beliefs about the self.)

But you may have thought you had to “accept” the ways that your current life is impacted by the past. You may not have known that it’s possible to heal those old hurts enough to really see the difference in the present. To help people like you experience greater possibilities in your life I decided to create Healing Trauma: Moving Beyond the Hurt of the Past.

For this course, I’ve created safe and empowering exercises to help you cultivate your strength and self-compassion, so you can invite your hurting younger self into a healing relationship with you. I think you’ll be amazed at how quickly this kind of inner relationship can bring relief and greater spaciousness and lightness.

Question 2

A Healing Moment for Your Traumatized Inner Child - If You Have One (click here to access free exercise)

Accepted Answer

For a moment, pause and bring awareness to your body.

Allow yourself to feel the support of your contact with what you are sitting on… and also to feel your breathing.

Now become aware of the inner area of your body… that includes your throat, your chest, your stomach.

Somewhere in you, there might be a traumatized inner child. She or he might be frozen or numb, or hiding.

Allow a gentle hand to move to your heart, and say to the little one inside, “I am here.”
Just that much. “I am here.”

And wait a little while. Nothing else needs to happen. That’s a healing moment
