Reconnect Therapy Program
Childhood Trauma Therapy For A Person In A Couple.
You might be feeling an unexplainable and persistent sense of confusion, fear, withdrawal, and unhappiness.
These feelings might show up in your professional or personal life, affecting your performance and relationships.
Maybe you get really attached to others, even accepting abuse or harmful behavior from them. Or, you might emotionally check out when things feel too intimate, or there is conflict.
When it comes to romance, you might find it really challenging to be vulnerable, or maybe, you’ve figured it’s safer to find someone you can easily control.
Your suffering might remind you of your childhood and how you were treated by your parents or primary caregiver - the way they hurt each other, or you. You may remember being hit, shouted at, ignored, insulted, or watching parents fight through addictions.
You’re realising that what you always wanted was to feel loved, connected, and safe.
Perhaps, if you have your own children, you're committed to giving them the kind of safety and unconditional love you never recieved.
You might still be trying to rebuild or repair your relationship with your own parents, to no avail - they still aren’t giving you want you long for.
So, you distract yourself as best you can from the hurt… but the impact it’s having on so many aspects of your life is unavoidable.
Things have to change.
What you feel is 100% real and valid, and many adults deal with similar things.
If your childhood was hurtful in one or more ways, you've likely tried many things to forget.
You’ve probably even tried to forgive, ignore, move on, put the past in the past. But the impact the arguments, abuse, criticism, and neglect you endured are still impacting you today.
You may have turned to food, sex, religion, fitness, or any number of things to try to cover over what you’re experiencing.
You’ve probably read books, meditated, gone to therapy, focused on your career, and maybe even started your own family in hopes that something will make the sadness and fear go away. But this hasn’t worked.
Your romantic relationships aren’t a safe space, because they tend to elicit all your childhood stuff, even though they don’t mean to. Having that stuff in your current relationship feels messy, and relationships are already hard enough.
You want to learn to love yourself, and how to really receive the kind of love you crave, but you don’t really know how to start, let alone changing things long-term.
Why haven’t your efforts to get over this stuff worked? Why are you still suffering from things that happened so long ago?
There's one core reason that what you've tried hasn't worked.
The reason is because none of the things you’ve tried have actually healed the inner child part of you that went through all that trauma and abuse.
The child in you - the part of you that experienced all of that - still feels and lives the pain of your past every day of your adult life.
Even if you’ve thought about your childhood, and can rationalise your way through what you experienced, what you likely haven’t been able to do is consciously experience your inner child as a part of you that is present with you in the here and now.
All the things you’ve done up until this point have been coping strategies, not healing strategies. They’ve helped you avoid or minimise the pain, but doing so hasn’t helped you heal the pain.
What you’ve done so far has kept the full and complete YOU from being expressed - the you that comes from an adult who’s inner child has healed from the pain, and trauma; the you that comes from an inner child who has learned to be carefree and truly alive, who is loved unconditionally, fulfilled, and energetic, who can guide you into happiness and wholeness as an adult.
It’s the child in you who was neglected, hurt, and suffered trauma that is causing you to face the anxiety, confusion, anger, negative thoughts, and unhappiness today.
As long as your inner child is denied and left unhealed, your present experience will be a diminished, false version of yourself.
So then, what can you do to heal your inner child and start to recover from your childhood trauma?
There are three core principles of support necessary and fundamental to break free of the suffering you experience today, because of the suffering you experienced as a child.
Three core principles so you can feel more authentic, in control, and present in your life as an adult with healthy relationships:
-
Love and patience.
-
Safety.
-
Self-Reparenting.
Let's take these one at a time.
Love & Patience
Your inner child is hurt, and needs tremendous love and patience from you - the kind of love and patience that you never got from your parents or primary caregiver. This is your opportunity to learn how to provide that for yourself.
Learning how to bring unconditional love to your inner children will help you attune to them.
Your patience will help to build trust with your inner children, so they can reveal their needs for healing.
Learning how to bring this kind of love and patience to your inner children gives you the keys to express these things to your adult self every day.
Safety
Because your childhood environment wasn’t safe in various ways, it’s vital that you create an environment of safety with you today. Safety is required for the inner child part of you to open up, be vulnerable, to share what is needed, and guide you towards healing.
This safety isn’t dependent upon anyone else - only you.
As you learn how to create this safe environment, it will open up entirely new worlds of possibility for you.
This is big work - it’s revolutionary to feel safe within, to be able to trust yourself entirely, to be confident in your abilities, to understand how to set healthy boundaries, and live into your values - so the real you can be re-birthed!
Self-Reparenting
Once you have a loving, trusted, safe relationship with your inner child, you have the opportunity to discover your inner parent. This is where you become the loving, healthy, strong, kind, attentive parent who responds generously to the needs at hand. This is where you learn to support the inner child part of you in remaining safe, happy, and healed.
Learning to reparent yourself is wildly important.
It’s from this skill that you develop a healthy relationship with yourself - where the true, authentic you can become fully expressed - the you who is happy, fearless, aligned, and understands how to do healthy relationships and live your best life.
Applying these three core principles effectively requires specific guidance, support, and hand-holding along the way.
I can assist you in meeting, learning about, and loving your inner child.
I can support you in learning how to connect with your inner child, listen, work through past pain, understand needs, what it needs to feel loved, nurtured, and protected.
And, I can support you in learning how to re-integrate a healthy inner child into your every day adult life so you can be who you know you’re meant to be.
I am happy to introduce you to:

What Others Have Experienced?
During the pandemic, when we were all in lock-down, although having worked as a psychotherapist for many years I decided to work in a specific way with a small group of people who were single or married. All of these individuals had experienced trauma in their childhood, and had consciously / unconsciously used their trauma as a driver to become successful in their careers.
Some single clients wanted to focus on romantic relationships and we explored how their emotional neglect or physical abuse in childhood was directly linked to their lack of success in meeting someone who was healthy for them. A program was developed for this.
Those who were married and felt disconnected from their spouse and adrift in their life, we explored the direct correlation between these things and what they learned in their childhood about themselves and their relationships with the primary care givers in their life i.e. The Reconnect Therapy Program™.
Graduates of The Reconnect Therapy Program™ say they feel more connected to themselves and their spouses. They are more loving to themselves.
They have healthier relationships with others, including their parents, and are now skilled in setting and honoring boundaries so they’re not taken advantage of in any situation.
Graduates say that their life has been transformed through this curriculum of training, psychotherapy, self-parenting and childhood trauma therapy.
They report that, while they are more deeply connected to their romantic partners than ever, they no longer feel responsible for each others’ personal happiness, and they know what they need to do for themselves and their inner child to be happy and fulfilled.
Nina, Married & Mother to a 5yr-old
I was so sad for many years and I didn't know I was sad. I was so faint, not taking up any space in the marriage or in my world, I had no idea I was like this. I think more of myself now, I really value myself, I feel that I deserve certain things, my view of myself has totally changed. The views, including those of my parents are irrelevant now. The biggest thing is I respect myself and know I deserve certain things.

THE EXPERIENCE
Kim, Banking, Married 12 Years
This therapy is not talking therapy. It's a journey of questioning and guidance that I couldn't have done just by talking. This therapy is transformational. Other therapy allowed me to offload and not do anything deeper. I feel like the person I would have been if I had healthy parents and a safe home. I have changed the direction of my life, my child's life and possibly the relationship I am in.
I'm looking forward to working alongside you. Love + kindness. Jeraline
