Why Therapy?
Many people feel threatened when they are told to start therapy. "There is nothing wrong with me!" is usually what they have to say. Therapy is not about pointing fingers and saying there is something wrong with you.
Therapy is a wonderful journey of becoming free; free from everything that is keeping you
from moving forward in your life; free from unhappy relationships by changing them into
fulfilling ones; free to enjoy parenting and freeing yourself from most of the frustrations
and negative emotions that goes along with it.People are sometimes aware of the fact that the same kind of situations keep repeating themselves in their lives. This is not coincidence. For example, getting yet another abusive partner after leaving the one you had before. Or getting a new job and being bullied there just as you were at your old job.
Sometimes we have strong emotions. Strong, negative emotions (such as anger and aggression) can ruin our relationships unfortunately. When you feel that you are not in control of your anger, Inner Child Therapy is a great way to help you. The strong emotion that you do not have control over is the inner child deep within you feeling this emotion. When you heal the source of the anger, the inner child, the anger in your present circumstances will disappear.
Although you may be thinking that you had a happy childhood, small incidents from long ago could still have an influence on your day to day life. Inner Child Therapy is recommended if you experienced any of the following in your life:
Divorce of parents
Sexual abuse
Physical abuse
Emotional abuse
Being involved with satanism, the occult or rituals
Growing up in a children's home
Parents with mental problems
Loss of a loved one (friend, family, pet, home)
Growing up with a caregiver who had an alcohol/drug addiction
Being bullied or shamed
