Your Inner Child is an essential part of you. In this workshop you will come to understand how you were wounded in childhood by telling your true story to others who will validate the wounding that has kept you from realizing your true potential as a precious child of God/ your Higher Power. Each participant in this small , loving group will reinact a drama real or symbolic that you are still playing out today. Your anger, tears, silences are all coming from that original wounding that needs to be lovingly healed so that your InnerChild can come alive again with a new “good parent” to answer that shaming “inner critic” who has keep you “frozen” and unable to heal from these traumas. Come awaken your“Tiger” and begin the healing!
A truely transformational journey!
GOT HOPE?
Evening lecture series
Mandana CRC, Oakland
Are you recession proof? Not easy. But possible with an "attitudinal adjustment"!
You have all the power you need to survive and thrive even in adverse circumstances. You have always had this power but perhaps you have not recognized it or used it regularly. But it was there and perhaps you have found it briefly, and then lost it again. Hope is something that is present even when you are homeless and on the street or often absent when you are on top of the heap just knowing you'll crash at any minute. It is a belief that can be developed so that you can turn the worst circumstance into an opportunity not just to get ahead financially but to become whole new self-loving person.
Come find out how you can survive and thrive.

On Inner Child Healing
Inner Child Healing offers a directed, effective and intuitive process that uses both traditional therapy, and experiential, creative and spiritual ways of accessing old scars and negative core beliefs formed in your childhood that have been left unexamined and unhealed. Perhaps, even now, you are unaware of their existence except for the defensive and self defeating patterns that they have caused you.
Whether you are still looking for a mate, a really fulfilling career or just a more exciting and rewarding life these wounds are holding you back. If you are struggling with addictions -- and there are so many—or just isolating or anxious and angry you can be free of this awful baggage that is keeping you in a never ending cycle of defensive actions that you keep hoping will eventually work -- though they rarely do.
Why do I talk about the seeds of self in childhood? Because that is where we learn who we are and what our possibilities are. We have to learn where those lessons hurt us and made us feel unimportant, flawed, or even bad. There are new lessons to replace the old ones. Even in the best families the lessons often limit our positive belief in the beautiful creation that we are. That is our birthright.
It is just such a journey that I invite you to make: to lay down your self doubt and become a new creation - your practical every day problems worked through with your new power of self-love and self belief to a deep renewal of the spirit. Come, let’s talk it over. You have what it takes.

"Thank you for helping me renounce my self doubt, isolation, and fear.
I've always wanted to do something like this for myself."
Kathy
“Doing inner child work with Lila Caffery made a DRAMATIC difference in my life. With Lila’s help I confronted – and ultimately shifted – negative core beliefs around abandonment that were sabotaging me in relationships – romantic and professional.
I’ve done a lot of therapy – I’ve had maybe a dozen
therapists over the 20 years of my adult life – Lila is the only
one who was able to take me into the core of the issues that I needed
to work on. I could’t recommend this work more highly.”
Robert Friedman
"The mask of my smile was very thick and it contained fear and deep sorrow. I wish I could love many people with a true smile. Thank you for holding me
and accepting me"
Yumi (Japan)
You can heal and find your Power too!
