Anchored Relational IFS-Informed Therapy & RRP
"You are not what has happened to you."
Through safe-enough connection with internal p/Parts, clients learn that who they are is separate from trauma, memories, and programming/conditioning.
Containment & Building Adaptive Internal Relational Networks
Clients will learn to understand their core-survival strategies while building resilience and the ability to differentiate between p/Parts and programming, while containing memories, to increase internal safety.
Bringing Parts Into the Present
Young p/Parts are cared for and are brought into present-awareness.
Creative Arts As Anchors
Art-making and dialoguing with parts may be used/incorporated to enhance present-orientation.
Re-processing Traumatic Memories, As Choice
Clients have choice and autonomy (self-agency) to decide if they want to process traumatic memories with EMDR.
Learning the Children's Bill of Rights
Connect to what is normal and healthy, and learn to differentiate between your own developmental experiences.
Differentiation Between Past & Present
Learn to connect to what is happening in the present, yet remaining aware of what belongs to the past (multi-directional attention).
Committed Action Towards Re-Parenting
Similar to a 12-step program, begin to take committed action that is specific and intentional towards being active with your insides (the inner-child).
Healing From Triggers
Become more comfortable with feeling your body, sensations, and emotions, and develop the ability and skill to grow within triggers, rather than feel triggered and go directly to a shame-place.
Experientials
Engage in experiential trauma healing where the past can be revisited and re-shaped with safe-enough connection and relational attunement/cohesion.
