This annual workshop has been completely re-imagined to put together two very different ways of working. The first is the healing work of exorcising your negative childhood messages still taking up room in your head. This is the deep work of many years that has changed so many lives. The child revisits her/his past scenes of a traumatic childhood – not necessarily dramatic events but none-the-less undermining and painful. A telling family scene is played out, the parents confronted. Afterward, the child is gently called into a peaceful and receptive state of mild trance allowing for the work of the rewriting of old messages into new positive ones. The trance state allows direct access to the unconscious mind and vastly accelerates and deepens this process. The small group has formed a good new family and supports each other to believe in both the hurt of the negative childhood beliefs and the truth of the new and beautifully rewritten messages. Throughout, your Higher Power protects and encourages the Child. Finally, the work of re-parenting and for the continuing transformation of the new Child is demonstrated. A work of deep healing and rebirth!

THE INNER CHILD, NLP AND TRANCE

A Group Practice Demonstration and Lecture

Tuesday at 7:30 PM
April 20, 2010

The negative belief system that your parents taught you when you were an innocent young child needs to be rejected but what do you replace it with? That question has been unanswered by most therapies. Insight is simply not enough. So come and find out how you can go into an easy restful trance that allows your subconscious mind to receive new and better teachings that are about how you can love yourself and thrive in a more rewarding life. We will use story telling and visualization to teach you how to reframe your fears and reparent your child. An imaginative and challenging journey

On Inner Child Healing

Inner Child Healing offers a directed, effective and intuitive process that combines traditional psychology with 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."

“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"
