Recent publications – Inner Child Therapy’s effectiveness (article 1) and five case studies (article 2)
Wellness Space is one of the few psychotherapy practices in India with peer-reviewed, published evidence on the effectiveness of inner child therapy. Our research — published in the International Journal of Regression Therapy and featured in India Today — shows measurable reductions in anxiety and depression, and improvements in sleep quality and overall well-being, in adults who completed inner child therapy at our centre in Ahmedabad.
What the research shows:
- Significant reduction in anxiety and depression scores
- Measurable improvement in sleep quality (ISI)
- Improved overall well-being (WHO-5 index)
- Results validated across two peer-reviewed publications and five detailed case studies
- Published: International Journal of Regression Therapy (2025)
- Featured: India Today (January 2025)
- For clients: learn about inner child therapy at Wellness Space and what to expect in sessions.
A recent study by Riri G Trivedi, Dr Gunjan Y Trivedi, Neha Pandya, and Dr Hemalatha Ramani from the Society for Energy & Emotions at Wellness Space, Ahmedabad, India, has been included in the International Journal of Regression Therapy. It showcases the efficacy of “Inner Child Integration Therapy.” By assisting people in processing unresolved childhood trauma, this therapeutic technique significantly reduces anxiety and depression and improves sleep quality and overall well-being. The study was partially funded by the Earth Association of Regression Therapy in the year 2022. Therapists interested in learning this methodology can find training details for Module 3 — Inner Child here.
The journey carried two write-ups by team wellness on inner child integration therapy. The first one identified the effectiveness of the inner child integration therapy (“healing the child within” modality covered in Module 3 of the Evidence-based Psychotherapy Program conducted by Wellness Space). The second article covered five case studies on inner child phenomena and the journey of the individuals.

What is inner child integration therapy?
Inner Child Integration Therapy (ICIT) is an evidence-based approach to healing the lasting impact of childhood trauma, developed and practised at Wellness Space, Ahmedabad. As a specialist form of inner child therapy in India, ICIT uses structured techniques — including guided imagery, hypnotic and non-hypnotic regression methods, and the Release Reframe Toolkit — to help adults identify, process, and integrate unresolved Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), a process often described as inner child healing. What sets this approach apart from other inner child therapy practices in India is its foundation in measurable clinical outcomes — Wellness Space is one of the few centres with peer-reviewed, published research on the effectiveness of inner child therapy. The studies below document outcomes from adults who completed this work at our Ahmedabad centre.
