Jacky Power Poetry Workshop - Permission to Feel Connected to Your Inner Child

This poetry workshop takes place at Pippbrook House, RH4 1SH Therapeutic poet and trauma therapist (MSc Addiction Psychology & Counselling, MBACP, EFTi), Jacky Power, returns to Pippbrook House with her new "Permission to Feel" workshop series. There is a version of you that existed before you learned to adapt, to only show the parts of yourself that were acceptable. Before someone taught you that your spontaneous, joyful self needed to be quieter. Before you learned that your needs were inconvenient, that the wrong kind of feeling made things difficult for everyone. Beneath beneath, undeterred is you. This workshop uses Transactional Analysis to understand how we learned to separate from our inner child and what we can do to find our way back. Explore the ego states we move between, the injunctions we absorbed without knowing, and the difference between the child who learned to adapt and the child who still knows how to choose joy. Using poetry, accessible theory, and writing to move through four things, in this supportive workshop explore: Understanding why we disconnected from our inner child, and when Identifying the limiting beliefs that we still carry Meeting the free child, the part that was there before the adapting began Letting them finally speak No writing experience needed.
