Before the DIG, I studied, researched, and attended every conference I could learn more about Inner Child Work. I was excited to learn that the DIG also trained me in this area of focus, and I have done this successfully with many clients. The DIG process will teach you to remove some limiting beliefs you have carried since childhood and create a new belief that will set you free from the past or present. Looking forward to a life of solice, you will leave with a better understanding of what you can control, and let go of what you cannot control.
One of the main components of Inner Child Work is the idea that we all have younger parts within us with different ages, different experiences, and different needs. As we grow up into bigger bodies and more logical, conscious brains, our younger selves don’t just disappear over time.
When we get triggered and can’t understand why, it’s likely a younger part of us is very present, screaming for our attention. Often, as adults, we ignore these cries, deny or dismiss them, freeze, fight, or search for a solution to “fix it.” All of these can be trauma responses being replayed in adult life. We respond to our wounds.
Inner Child Work is a trauma-informed approach to working with people who have experienced various forms of trauma, abuse, neglect, or abandonment (either within the family or outside the family) earlier in their life.
It’s also important to note that you have already begun Inner Child Work if you’re contemplating a healing journey. You know something wasn’t right, and it’s gotten you stuck in some ways.
**The DIG process is not responsible for ineffective Inner Child Work. You need to come with an open heart and be vulnerable and truthful about what happened. This will be your best chance at releasing those childhood memories.”
**The DIG process will not remove the pain connected to the event but will help you to learn new ways of dealing with the pain**
