Connecting With Your Inner Child
Spring 2026
Weekly on-line gatherings:
The relationship with ourselves is our primary connection and it is crucial to our emotional well-being.
Childhood struggles, trauma, and difficulties that overwhelm our nervous system result in coping mechanisms that serve to protect us at the unbearable time in our life.
Sometimes, those protective parts remain ‘loud and proud’ into our adult years contributing to ruptures in relationships.
Connecting with my Wounded Inner Child is for me because…
I want change and I want to be the change.
I notice I am repeating unhealthy patterns over and over.
I notice myself outgrowing relationships that no longer serve my higher good.
I am ready to pivot the trajectory of my awareness from hurt towards joy.
I am ready to move towards personal growth, self-awareness, and self-actualization
I desire transformation.
I recognize an internal shift within but don’t quite understand what is happening.
I am courageous to do the work of looking inward and feeling the discomfort of growing pains.
I am willing to explore a myriad of emotions with self curiosity, self reflection and journaling.
Does this sound and feel familiar? Is this something you are experiencing? Are you aware of the parts of you that repeatedly and innocently sabotage meaningful connections? Most people are not, instead we think something is ‘not right’ or ‘off,’ or we blame the other, or even worse, we believe ‘this is just who I am.’.
Our inner child unconsciously remains stuck, stunted in its growth, and unable to mature. As a result we become lost in a dark, murky, liminal space and that ‘stuckness’ becomes our wound. Awareness of our wounds and our protectors is the first step towards the process of foraging a path towards healthy functioning relationships.
MODULE 1
Awareness
Become aware of your inner child and the wounds the child may have. Explore the history of the non-serving stories and negative core beliefs often repeated that keep a person stuck, repeating the same pattern with and non-desirable outcomes.
“I see you, beautiful one.”
MODULE 2
Connection
Begin to forge a pathway to repair the relationship between you and the wounds of your innocent inner child through the skills of compassionate listening and listening to understand.
“I am here with you, little one and I am listening.”
MODULE 3
Nurturing
Learn the skills to lean in and embrace tender, hurt and emotionally stuck wounds. Fill your toolkit with resources to help you on your journey.
“ I will care for you, sweetheart.”
MODULE 4
Releasing
In this powerful turning-point module, we gently release the shame, blame, and outdated stories that have kept your inner child small. You’ll learn how to let go of emotional weight without bypassing your pain. You will learn about the healing power of honouring what happened while freeing yourself from carrying it any longer. Through guided practices and reflection, you’ll begin to separate your true self from the wounds you’ve been living through.
“You are not what happened to you.”
MODULE 5
Empowerment
This energizing module. You will begin reclaiming the voice, confidence, and authenticity that may have been silenced in childhood. As you step out of survival mode, you’ll practice setting healthy boundaries, embracing joy, and choosing responses aligned with your true self. This is where healing transforms into personal power and you start living as the whole, capable adult your inner child always needed.
“You are safe to be you.”
MODULE 6
At Peace
In this closing integration module, you will be invited to bring your inner child and adult self into harmony. Through reflection and grounding practices, you’ll anchor the safety, self-trust, and compassion you’ve cultivated throughout the journey. This is where healing settles into wholeness and you can step forward feeling lightness, aligned, and at peace within yourself.
“We are closer to whole.”
“This workshop offers you the opportunity to explore,
understand and create a healthy relationship with yourself through self-reflection, self-compassion, and grace.”
- Workshop facilitator, Janet Fournier
The relationship I have with my inner child is two fold; she is an incredible teacher and she has this uncanny knack of surfacing at the most inopportune times. The fact that my “little” continues to be so loud and proud, even though I am a grown woman is a testament to the cesspool of unresolved emotions easily triggered and the inner work that is ever evolving. My ‘little’ has many great qualities -I admire her tenacity, tenderness, innocence, resilience and grit. The work, however, is learning how to courageously journey, in a healthy way, with my little self throughout my adult life.
This Wounded Inner Child Workshop is intended to guide you gently and safely towards re-connecting and creating a healthy relationship with your ‘little’ via various psychotherapeutic and somatic modalities. Our time together, in this tender, beautiful and unique 9-hour workshop will provide a space for you to learn, share, hold space, relate, cry and laugh in a community of like-minded women.
What is the Wounded Inner Child?
The Wounded Inner Child is our earliest, purest, most authentic self who innocently consciously and unconsciously carries the burdens of past hurts. Left unresolved, this pain has the potential to negatively impact our current emotional landscape and ultimately our current adult relationship with self and others.
The Wounded Inner Child can look like:
√ Perfectionism
√ Overly Conforming
√ Controlling
√ Repeating Dysfunctional Relationship Patterns
√ Envy
√ Criticism
√ Passive Aggression
√Pretending
√ Wearing an Emotional Mask
√ Co-dependency
√ Trust Issues
√ Thought Distortion
√ Emptiness
“I hope you will consider joining me in this series of personal growth workshops. May you foster new connections, reflect and grow, as we journey on this hopeful and innovative dive into the wounded inner child.”
