Primal Therapy

PRIMAL - HEALING THE INNER CHILD (THE CHILDHOOD DECONDITIONING)

10 weekly sessions on zoom or in-person

In this work:

  • You will be accompanied step by step back in time, through the stages of your development, recovering parts of yourself at each stage (mostly during our first 7 years of life).

  • You will experience the rules and roles that have been imposed on you by your surroundings, and how they have molded a false personality around you.

  • You will be supported to express and release old emotions that block the flow of vitality in your body.

  • You will explore your family setup with depth and compassion, completing what has remained unfinished.

  • By healing yourself at the roots, you will have access again to your potential, and you can celebrate the lightness and freedom of being that is regained when the old weight you carried has dissolved.

Parts of ourselves we will be working with:

  • THE CHILD - represents our feelings, our energy, our individual essence

  • THE ADULT - represents our experience, our know how, our wisdom and compassion

  • THE PARENTS OF THE PAST - whose unconscious and conditioning we have absorbed, which we carry inside us as our SUPEREGO

Very important thing to understand is that this work is SELF TO SELF. Even when we work with the parents of the past, we are dealing with WHAT WE STILL CARRY INSIDE IN OUR UNCONSCIOUS. This is not about simply trying to change the parents of the past, or blame the parents of now. Your love for your parents is always there and will not change because of what we carry inside.

How this work happens:

  • The Adult in us finds and reconnects with the Child.

  • Often in life, situations remind our unconscious of the past, and we react and become the wounded children like in the past. This often and most likely happens without us realizing.

  • The more we establish in this work the Adult part, the more the Child in us will feel safe, connected and supported to just be himself/herself.
