    Year of the Inner Child: Spring

    Year of the Inner Child: Spring

    I often say that trauma covers, hides, conceals our true nature, and a big part of the healing process is learning to shed those layers to allow your best, most wonderful self to shine through.
    Clearing the "debris" of the past also creates space for new growth, new discoveries!
    Here's to creating a healthy future!

    Year of the Inner Child: Discernment

    Year of the Inner Child: Discernment

    Discernment has a lot to do with the "act of perceiving and observation." Unfortunately, abuse often leads us to have skewed perceptions and to only observe evidence that supports what we already believe.
    A huge part of re-parenting ourselves has to do with shedding the trauma that obscures or confuses our ability to discern who we are, what we like, what we need, what we want.
    And a great way to do that kind of work? Making choices!

    Year of the Inner Child: Work

    Year of the Inner Child: Work

    One of the things I often end up discussing with my clients is work and the ways in which they feel stuck, scared, or confused about how to navigate this area of their lives.
    Trauma can impact the way we think and feel about work and success and being able to unpack and challenge that messaging is so important.
    Also important is learning how to let your adult self lead even while still drawing on the gifts of your inner child!

    S10 Ep. 5: Kalpa: Kicking Ass in the Workplace

    S10 Ep. 5: Kalpa: Kicking Ass in the Workplace

    In this episode, I have the joy of talking with Kalpa Gupta about the common ways that childhood trauma can impact our work, such as hiding behind achievement, overcompensating, not using our voice, and getting triggered.
    We discuss ways that we can enter into the workplace more grounded, empowered, and self-aware.
    Kalpa wants you to know, “You are perfect just the way you are and you are not alone.”

    Year of the Inner Child: Play

    Year of the Inner Child: Play

    Have you lost that playful feeling? Has it been forever since you just cut loose and let yourself be silly and present and playful?
    If so, I hope you'll embrace this week's invitation to do at least one enjoyable thing that the child within you never had the freedom to do.
    I did that very thing this past weekend, and whoa - it turned out to be a weekend of miracles!

    Year of the Inner Child: Responsibility

    Year of the Inner Child: Responsibility

    When we experience trauma, we are taught the lesson that external forces have great ability to impact us. This is true.
    AND - what's tricky is that as we come out of abusive situations, we continue to look to something external - not only as a source of potential pain, but as the source of happiness and safety.
    This is an error.
    We are responsible for our own happiness. And re-parenting ourselves has a lot to do with no longer looking outside of ourselves but instead owning the choices we are making that are either contributing to or diminishing our happiness.

Excellent resource

This podcast is an excellent resource for sexual abuse survivors and their families. It is also so helpful for parents navigating how to keep their children safe from abuse. As a survivor, I find the episodes both relatable and helpful.

My daughter has just introduced me to your podcast. I am an author of children's books. One of my books is on sexual abuse prevention. I just listened to my first podcast and LOVE it. How I wish I would have discovered this before today. The way that we store pain and trauma in the body and mind is a very powerful thing and something I have been working on and studying. Thank you for these ideas. For our family Yoga and Meditation have really helped. Looking into Trauma yoga today. Thank you so much for this podcast and information. Kimberly
