Managing your Trauma/Complex PTSD by Psychotherapist DrNica

This Masterclass is led by Dr Nica Coxon - a licensed Psychotherapist/Counsellor who for 3 years has worked face-to-face with clients undergoing unexpected and painful break ups - whose lives are suddenly thrown into turmoil and need to find a way to love themselves through it. This course aims to to help you to breathe, and hold yourself in a gentle and kind way. It helps you to calm the inner destructive and critical thoughts and feelings - thoughts that tell you that it is all your fault and that you are not worthy of love. I will help you to develop a loving and gentle way to communicate with your self, by understanding  that your inner wounded part (maybe a child part) really needs your full love and attention (your inner nurturing parent).

Section 1. of this course starts by focusing on which part of you is feeling the traumatised feelings of worthlessness and being damaged and wounded. Is this a young "inner child" part of you who was neglected or abandoned as a child? Did you feel anxious and abandoned as a child, for example? If so that anxious child part of really needs your love and attention and healing now, and the part of you that can offer that comes from your nurturing parent (and not your critical parent part). I hope to help you to understand how your past and your childhood may need healing in order to develop a healthier relationship with yourself. Loving yourself sounds so cliche - but in this course I hope to show you a practical way in which you can live yourself (i.e the inner parent loves the inner child unconditionally - the way our own parents were not able to).

In Section 2. I will help you to locate and connect with your inner nurturing parent, a gentle and kinder part whom can help you to stop getting stuck in those worn-out habits which possibly stem from your childhood, which are so painful for you. I will talk you through a simple exercise called the self nurture challenge of sharing a voicenote with yourself for 3 timepoints for 3 minutes in a day. If you speak out loud and hear yourself speak, it will help you to connect with that inner child part, and nurture that inner parent part that has the power to tell you that you are loveable, loving and loved.
