Curious about previous Inner Child Healing program curriculum? Here’s an example from our Spring 2024 program: 2024 curriculum
““
This program will be really helpful for anybody who believes the status quo is not enough. Who believes there is more to life than what they have. Who are ready to accept help. It is really helping me in my journey to assimilate anxiety and fear with myself. It shone light on the deep corner of my psyche where i found parts of me which i had locked and neglected out of fear. It helped me instill more love and belief toward my self. It helped me move from the paradigm of control to the realm of acceptance. I have started seeing the world in a different way. At the end i will say that for lot of us who are in a spiritual journey or overwhelmed by their psychological challenges this program will work as a catalyst and open doors to a new world altogether.”
Inner Child Healing
A large focus of my practice is Inner Child Healing. This happens in individual sessions, Inner Child Healing Groups, Intensives, Workshops and Retreats.
The wounded Inner Child inside of us is real. They are waiting for the love, attention, and the proper care they didn’t receive in childhood. We can give them this reparative care and healing they need. Once this happens, the energy of the Inner Child can integrate and become part of the adult self. Then, we can reclaim our natural qualities: joy, curiosity, pleasure-seeking, sensorial wonder, connection, emotional expression, clear communication and boundaries, quiet-seeking, playfulness, silliness, ability to enjoy being alone, and all of the qualities in the child we weren’t able to fully access.
I have started a youtube channel where you can learn more about healing your Inner Child. It is called: For Your Inner Child. There is currently one introductory video and a recently added video for the Inner Child. Check it out!
Phone interview and application required. If you have any questions at all, please email Alison.
From previous program participants:
“Transformational would be a severe understatement.
I am renewed, empowered, encouraged and restored in ways I could only imagined could have happened in a weekend.”
“This retreat is outstanding.”
“This was one of the best retreats of my life.”
“I used to have headaches whenever I had fear or resistance internally. They were very intense. After I worked through the underlying cause in the Inner Child Retreat, the headaches stopped. I can now do things that are out of my comfort zone, and the headaches are few and far between.”
“Coming in to the retreat, I was very anxious and doubtful that it might not work for me. Now that I’m done with the retreat writing this, I’m so filled with gratitude and joy. This retreat is truly transformational.”
Alison Harre, LMFT practices subtle body energy healing (Syntara System) as well as psychotherapy. Energy healing will be used throughout the program and retreat in addition to psychotherapeutic exercises.
