It's hard to put into words what a Healing Our Core Issues Intensive does. There's grief, sadness and a heaviness that starts as we get your story straight and own the reality of what your childhood was actually like. Perhaps there was overt abuse, but often there is covert neglect that is difficult to name and why often adults think they had a "good childhood," but are confused as to why they are depressed or anxious. Day two, we use two memories that were particularly painful in childhood, and have often left a lasting impact on you (that's a key indicator of trauma). I guide you to reparent your younger self as that caring, nurturing, protective parent you needed then, but didn't have. The best part of this is that you know exactly what you needed back then and didn't get. There's a significant shift that happens after day two. You see yourself with compassion, as you were just a child and needed a parent to actually see and comfort you. Day three wraps up with experiential, empty chair work, where we "bring in" one parent at a time, and as you embody a functional adult, you tell them how their parenting or lack there of, impacted you then. You tell them what you needed and didn't get, and how this still impacts you to this day. This is powerful work and leaves you feeling confident in yourself and lighter because you give back your parents' carried shame in the process. Incredibly beautiful work.
