I often feel as though my growth happens in spirals, continually going round in circles. At first glance it can seem like I’m back in the same place I started at, until I realize that each journey around brings with it a change in perspective, new resources and something gained that I didn’t have the last time I was there. The more I travel the path, the easier it becomes as some of the self-protective barriers that were created to keep me safe as a child get cleared away. With less in the way, I begin to see and feel the child I used to be — born with a felt sense of who I am and what I need to feel safe, nourished and loved — before self-protective beliefs and defensive behaviors were built to hide that. When I am able to identify the difference between self-protective beliefs/behaviors and my child selfs’ innermost wisdom, I have the answers to what I need in intimacy.
We began this 8 month Body Awakening © journey reflecting on how our experiences in infancy and childhood influence our adult intimacy. We learned that our ability to feel safe enough to be present and curious in intimacy is directly connected to the experiences we had growing up and, specifically, the meaning we made from them. We formed beliefs about ourselves based on our childhood perception of these experiences — without necessarily understanding the whole story. These beliefs are often carried forward into adulthood, informing and influencing how we relate to ourselves and others intimately.
I invite you to join me over the next 4 months, to return to the place we began 8 months ago with the intention of reconnecting to the wisdom of the infant/child parts of us that still feel too unsafe to come out from behind their hurt, shame and fear. In the same way that you learned to attune to yourself and others, on this journey, you will be attuning to the child within you. You will use your skills of attunement and imagery to connect to your child self, help them feel seen and create the safety they need to trust you. With this trusting connection, we will develop timelines of our past, and identify specific events that led to the formation of beliefs that create barriers to the intimacy we desire. We will listen to these hurt children with our whole selves, asking to understand what their beliefs are while simultaneously being curious about how they impact our adult intimacy. Underlying each of these beliefs lies our inner child’s unmet needs, which often correlates to what we are ashamed to need in intimacy as adults. By validating these needs for our child selves, we will update our past beliefs to reflect our adult perspective and expanded capacity. Finally we will carry forward what we learned from our inner child’s innermost wisdom, to support our current intimate experiences.
Things to note:
- Prerequisite for this course is the full Body Awakening Course.
- All of these processes will be done within the safety of the group and 1 on 1 partnership providing you with the experiential practice of seeing, feeling and connecting to your inner child. Your partner will be the same throughout the entire course.
- I believe that the language we use is important and needs to resonate with us for it to be helpful. For anyone with resistance to “inner child” language, you can approach this from a neuroplasticity perspective by framing it as a rewiring of your brain to update old information into new.
