About the Retreat:

Who is really running your show – the healthy adult self or the wounded inner child?

Re-Parenting the Inner Child is a two-and-a-half-day intensive program led by Trauma Recovery Specialist, Gemini Adams, CF, E-RYT, STR, C-TREP, who has over 25 years of experience delivering effective treatments for those who grew up with emotional neglect, abandonment, or abuse, making ‘survival mode’ the norm.

Within a compassionate container, we explore the triggers for relational stress responses using somatic-self care and attachment repair techniques to Develop Emotional and Relational Well-being (DREW). Through parts work, we meet the wounded inner child whose anger alienation, or dissociation is still hijacking us, learning ways to manage these emotional floods, together with practical skills to support conflict confidence, assert better boundaries, and stand up for our needs with an authentic voice.
