JUN 5 21 #1: Critical Parent – Friend or Foe…?
In this workshop, Robert explores the journey of healing childhood trauma, with a focus on self-parenting and setting boundaries. He introduces the concept of the “critical inner voice” (CIV) and shares his personal experiences with trauma recovery. The session emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and working through trauma by engaging with the inner child, setting boundaries, and practicing resilience. Robert details how he navigated his journey, creating a practice that involved regularly connecting with his inner children, witnessing their suffering, and cultivating compassion for himself. He discusses tools like worksheets to help others establish healthy boundaries and build resilience, while addressing the impact of addiction as a result of unresolved trauma. The workshop also touches on co-regulation, where emotional healing is facilitated by the compassionate adult self, and the necessity of being in relationship with supportive, trauma-informed professionals. Robert highlights the significance of self-forgiveness and urges participants to stay committed to the healing process.
