It is not enough to work with inner children in a purely bodily way – nor is it enough to work with inner children in a purely cognitive way.

Inner-child work is one of the core processes of The Gaia Method.

Susanne Roursgaard developed Regenerative Therapy during the years 2008-2012. This therapy is unique in its form, merging bodywork and cognitive therapy into a process combining points, touch, energy work, breath, sound and cognitive communication and understanding.

The process gives the practitioner a tool to identify, through a bodily approach, where an issue has embedded itself into the body and work from there - even when there is not enough cognitive access to know if a bodily or emotional activation is linked to an inner child or not.

Reparenting is necessary.

The client is guided to reparent their own inner children, to create a connection to the child so the child no longer looks outside the client in search for a way to fulfill the needs stemming from old wounds. Wounds that can never be healed outside the client.

Inner children require an additional body of work to be re-integrated back into the whole. When this process is lacking an assumed healed inner-child will emerge again and again to show it is still present within and still holds power over the client.

This is where this unique process comes in.

The process allows the nervous system to create healing through the creation of new neuron pathways for the wounded parts as well as provide the client with a knowledge about how to nurture their own inner child.

What are inner children?

Inner children or inner parts are created out of an unmet need, often out of a traumatic experience. They are older, wounded parts stuck in past time inside of us, yet still having a grip on our present time. Affecting behavior, patterns and emotions. The inner children often affect our worldview without us even knowing that we see the world through the lenses of these wounded parts. Their memory imprint can be hiding in tissue, bones, the subconscious mind, and express themselves through our body issues, convictions, fears and addictions.

Why this process?

Inner children often obstruct changes a client is trying to implement into life. Leaving seemingly effective sessions to not lead to permanent changes.

Inner children typically seek specific support.

The child has often attempted to communicate for years, without being heard or even understood. To get attention and to be found, the child may present itself as multiple types of issues and problems, sometimes bodily, sometimes health related, sometimes mentally, and other times emotionally. To be admitted to the training you will need to agree to an intake call.. This talk will be scheduled after your registration. The outcome of this call will determine if you will be enrolled to this training.

At this point the client just wants the “problem” to go away – but as this is a part of the client reacting, it is about integrating it - not getting rid of it!

This process helps the client re-integration this part back into wholeness. Not by waiting for a spontaneous chance as is often the case in pure bodywork but by using a specific process to access this work.
