The idea of the "inner child" has become widely used in personal development and therapeutic practice. But is it being used in the right way?
In this open class, we will delve deeper into this concept, going beyond the simplistic and often limiting view that accompanies it.
The "inner child" is not just an emotional metaphor; it's a collection of implicit memories, early experiences, and unmet needs that continue to influence behavior, emotions, and relationships in adulthood.
However, there is a significant risk: when the focus remains excessively on the past, the adult loses ground. Responsibility is diluted. Change is postponed.
This lesson proposes a change of perspective:
It's not about "going back to fix things," but about embracing, in the present, the integration and responsibility for what one experiences today.
Because suffering isn't just in the story, it's in how that story continues to live out in the body, in choices, and in relationships.
A lesson for those who want to understand... but above all, to transform.
With the exception of attending the specialization course in Biointegrative Somatic Psychotherapy or the Double Specialization in Somatosensory Integrative Psychotherapy, the remaining courses do not require an interview.
Most courses have different formats (in-person, online and hybrid) and students can select the format, as long as it is available.
