Inner child work is critical as it reconnects us with a wounded element of ourselves: the child within.

When we reconnect with this fragmented part of ourselves, we can begin to discover the root of many of our fears, phobias, insecurities and sabotaging life patterns. This is where the true healing happens!
 
Likely, you’ll be surprised by what you discover through inner child work. Instead of simply looking at a symptom of your pain, you’ll go right to the core and reveal when a fear, phobia or certain life pattern first began. 

Dr. Capacchione’s methods are being used worldwide for treating addictions, trauma, and childhood abuse. Many of her books are used as texts in courses on art therapy, psychology, writing and art, career development, applied creativity and brain balancing. 

“Journaling is about looking at the past, being introspective about the present and also about being imaginative about the future,” says Capaccinione.

Tapping, A Daily Self-Development Technique

Tapping is a simple and scientifically proven effective natural healing method that combines ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology.

Tapping helps you let go of issues you are dealing with such as chronic physical pain, trauma, anxiety, addictions, or just feeling empty inside and find in inner peace and emotional wholeness.

While Tapping is fairly new to the health and wellness field, the healing technique is based off of Eastern medicine practices from over 5,000 years ago.

Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques that utilize the body’s energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips – literally tapping into your body’s own energy and healing power while addressing emotional issues.

Tapping has been found to significantly improve or even eliminate conditions that hospital treatments, medication and years of psychotherapy often fail to adequately deal with. 

Scientific studies done at Harvard Medical School verify these assertions finding that the brain’s stress and fear response – which is controlled by an almond-shaped part of your brain called the amygdala – could be lessened by stimulating the meridian points used in acupuncture, acupressure, and of course, tapping.

Brothers on a Road Less Traveled is an international, non-profit, interfaith fellowship that provides peer support, education and outreach to adults — primarily men who experience same-sex attractions (or related issues) and who choose to address those attractions in ways that align with their own personal faith, values, morals, beliefs and life goals.

It is a peer-led, volunteer-based, faith-affirming community that respects the inherent and equal worth, dignity, equal rights, and free will of each individual, regardless of their sexuality or how they may choose to express or address it in their own lives.

Programs for Couples

Marriage encounters is a very affordable, short and effective way to develop communication skills and improve your marriage. Presentations and activities allow one to examine themselves, their behaviors and attitudes and their relationship with their spouse and God.  Communication tools are taught on the weekend helping couples connect in healthy, constructive ways on areas that can deepen their intimacy and connectedness.

Marriage Encounter Weekends have been given in the US since 1967. Decades of research, planning and tried and true wisdom have gone into the content of the weekend workshops. All sharing and activities are private between spouses. This is not a weekend to solve problems but to help couples in good marriages communicate even better.

Workshops are offered throughout the US and Canada in English, Spanish, French and Korean languages. Though Marriage Encounters is Catholic, weekends are for husband and wife couples of all denominations and mixed faiths.

Imago therapy works on self-transformation through understanding the connections between frustrations experienced in adult relationships and early childhood experiences.

Example: If you frequently felt criticized as a child, you will likely be sensitive to any criticism from your partner. The same goes for abandonment, smothering, neglect, etc. 

This creates a lot of tension in relationships and makes you wonder if you chose the right person. But when you can truly understand each other’s feelings and “childhood wounds” more emphatically you can begin to heal yourself and your relationship, and move toward a deeper and connected relationship. 

Created by expert Dr. Harville Hendrix, Imago Relationships International hosts a variety of workshops that offer tools on communication and personal and relationship growth.

Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy

Dr. Sue Johnson researches how relationships can be repaired, how the bonds of love work, and how people change in psychotherapy.

She says “Most of my research focuses on the efficacy of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT), a therapy I developed more than 30 years ago. It’s acknowledged as the gold standard in tested, proven interventions for couples.

EFT is all about emotion, the music that dictates how we move with or away from our own vulnerabilities and needs. My team and I have been able to demonstrate its effectiveness through peer-reviewed clinical research that continues today.”

Programs for Parents

Video Game Addiction, also known as Gaming Disorder, is a new issue, and it is not widely known or treated. Millions of children meet clinical video game addiction criteria.

In fact, some estimates show addiction rates as high as 9% in youth under the age of 18*. If your child’s gaming is excessive and you’ve noticed a change in personality, your hunches are probably right: there is something addictive going on. 

Here’s the surprise: it’s not about quitting the game, it’s about supporting your gamer. We look at supporting gamers on five dimensions:

• Physical Health: Improve nutrition, sleep, hygiene, physical exercise

• Emotional Stability: Regulate and express both positive and negative emotions

• Social Growth: Maintain and create in-person relationships

• Real World Outcomes: Boost grades, extracurriculars and other measures of success in the real world

• Mental Health: Stabilize mood, recognize where there might be additional mental health issues
