Each session combines short teachings, guided writing, and optional sharing. You’ll learn to write deeply about an old trauma, uncovering insights at your own pace. Along the way, you'll meet parts of yourself that have been waiting to be seen, soften long-held patterns, and create simple rituals to carry your growth forward.

What We'll Cover

  1. Meeting the Inner Child

    A first encounter with the younger self through non-dominant hand writing and drawing.

  2. The Preverbal Child

    Exploring the earliest, wordless experiences stored in the body and senses.

  3. The Adapted Child

    Reflecting on early roles, family dynamics, and how we were seen (or unseen). Meeting the one who tried to be good, helpful, or invisible.

  4. The Angry Child

    Giving voice to the part that says no. Who feels injustice for things that happened to them, and maybe even with you, their adult, for not listening to them, not protecting them, for choices that hurt.

  5. The Natural Child

    Reconnecting with spontaneity, joy, and the freedom to just be.

  6. The Shadow Child

    Inviting in the parts we’ve hidden or disowned—shame, fear, need, envy, discomfort with flourishing.

  7. The Imaginary Friend

    Meet a creative, wise, protective companion you can always turn to for good advice.

  8. Integration

Bringing it altogether and making new agreements with your inner child.

Lisa Blythe

Profound! Life-changing!
Healing my inner child was the missing link to healing my adult self.
We both thank you from the bottom of our beautiful hearts.

Esther

Liz is fantastic - her workshops allow you to go as deep as you feel ready for. They are helpful in so many aspects of my life - not just as I sit down with my journal.

Debs

I loved Liz's energy, I loved her commitment to us, I loved her authenticity and joy, I loved her interest in us. I loved the course.
This course has been profoundly healing for me. I feel robustly healed and. balanced as a consequence in many ways that I never expected. Thank you.
