It is very difficult to tell a logical, cognitive story about your inner child. The child within is so deeply feeling and illogical. She felt everything viscerally in the body first — visual impressions, colours, sounds, emotional fragments, and sensations — and then, only after the age of seven, did she start creating a narrative from her logical mind.

We are trained early to avoid emotional suffering. Emotional suffering comes from the dishonouring, denying, or alienating of our authentic self. Emotional pain is part of our human condition, and it feels like, "Something is really wrong. I feel like I am going to die with pain. There is no way out. Nothing works." 

Imagery rescripting helps you change the nightmare so that it turns out in a way that doesn’t lead to emotional and nervous system distress.

All emotional pain needs to be fully processed in the present moment as soon as it happens, or it will be stored in the body as uncomfortable energy.

Individuation is the process of becoming fully yourself. It involves healing core attachment wounds that tell you who you "should be" to belong.

Typically, the healing of a core wound starts with a problem in your relationships, work, or family.
