Module 3 - Inner Child
Module 3 — Inner Child, is a five full day equivalent inner child therapy training program for psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, coaches, hypnotherapists, and NLP practitioners working with childhood trauma. As one of the only Inner Child Integration Therapy certifications in India backed by peer-reviewed published research, this training equips practitioners to identify, assess, and address the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) using evidence-based methodology developed at Wellness Space, Ahmedabad.
Facilitated by Dr Riri G Trivedi and Dr Gunjan Y Trivedi, PhD · Certified trauma therapists and researchers · Authors of “What Happened to Me? Indian Perspectives on Childhood Trauma and Recovery”
This module prepares therapists to understand the role of childhood trauma (also known as Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACES) in mental health issues. Global evidence and Wellness Space’s extensive research confirm that ACEs, consisting of abuse, neglect and household challenges, are linked to the risk of long-term mental health and chronic conditions. The concept of the “inner child” phenomenon (a psychosynthesis of all ages from childhood to old age) continues to impact human beings’ overall expressions of themselves in the world.
The workshop provides practical techniques for transformation and integration, including the Release Reframe Toolkit and bodywork, and introduces the multi-step “Healing the Child Within” methodology psychotherapy intervention. Real case studies and evidence-based insights will equip therapists with the tools needed to identify and address repressed emotions and unresolved childhood issues effectively.
Who this training is for
This inner child therapy training is designed for clinicians and serious learners who want to work with childhood trauma using a structured, evidence-based methodology rather than purely intuitive or spiritual approaches. The programme is suitable for:
- Psychologists, psychotherapists, and counsellors who want to add a structured trauma methodology to their practice
- Hypnotherapists and NLP practitioners looking to integrate inner child work into their existing modalities
- Regression therapists and coaches who want a research-grounded framework for ACE-related work
- Wellness professionals working with adults whose presenting issues trace back to childhood
- Serious learners with existing certification in psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, NLP, or regression therapy (Module 1 and 2 are pre-requisites for those without prior certification)
