Inside Job

Session Description: Are your patterns of behavior, self-destruction, or past trauma keeping you from growing, especially in your relationships? This workshop focuses on giving you another tool towards healing by asking you to nurture the metaphorical “little you,” also known as your inner child. Learn how to meet the needs of your inner child and practice self-care because you are worthy, whole, and loved.
