Learn to facilitate the release of pain, shame, and trauma that your exiled parts have been carrying. This is powerful, transformative work.
"Do-Over" & "Updating" Techniques
Practice reimagining past events with resources you have now, and help younger parts understand they're safe in the present.
Managing Protective Parts
Learn to work with parts that may be blocking deeper healing, honoring their protective intentions while gaining permission to move forward.
