The Embody Lab – Reclaiming the Inner Child: Techniques for Emotional Repair

This educational package offers a comprehensive exploration of the “inner child” concept, detailing its significance as a source of emotions, intuition, and creativity, and emphasizing its healing for individuals who have experienced trauma. It delves into how childhood experiences, particularly adverse ones, can disrupt development and create lasting imprints on the nervous system, leading to the formation of inner “parts” that carry trauma burdens.

The program highlights somatic approaches, emphasizing the body as a trailhead to access and process past wounds, facilitate internal conversations with the inner child, and address implicit memories that live in the body. UltiMatély, this educational package aims to guide individuals through releasing negative beliefs, retrieving the child from the past, and fostering greater well-being and integration by providing corrective and restorative experiences

About this course

Reclaiming the Inner Child: Techniques for Emotional Repair

Beneath many of our clients’ struggles—chronic shame, anxiety, relationship challenges, perfectionism—lies a younger self still carrying unmet needs, unresolved grief, and the ache of not fully being seen. The inner child isn’t just a metaphor. It’s a lived, embodied experience that shows up in the therapy room as emotional overwhelm, reactivity, people-pleasing, or the persistent feeling of being “too much” or “not enough.”

This course, led by Dr. Scott Lyons, founder of the Embody Lab, invites you into deeply transformative work: helping clients not just understand their younger self, but finally feel safe, helped, and healed. Because when the inner child feels safe, the adult can finally exhale.

Beyond Analysis to Embodied Healing:

This isn’t about talking about the inner child—it’s about meeting the child part that still lives in the body, still uses the maps it created long ago, still carries the beliefs formed in moments of pain or rejection. This course teaches healing through somatic attunement, nervous system repair, and compassionate presence. You’ll learn to facilitate not reliving but reworking—co-creating the missing experiences from childhood that were never received, so integration and wholeness can finally emerge.

A Critical Distinction: Reliving vs. Reworking:

As Dr. Pat Ogden emphasizes, we learned the hard way in the 1970s: taking people into reliving trauma—all the panic and terror—made them more distressed. They were reliving, not reworking. The difference?

Reliving: Both feet in the past, can’t answer questions, living in trauma time, getting hijacked Reworking: One foot in present, one in past, trusted therapeutic relationship present, co-creating missing experiences

When you’re there with them—attuned, empathizing, maybe even encouraging emotion—providing what Ron Kurtz called “a missing experience from childhood,” that’s when it becomes reworking. You’re co-creating through the therapeutic relationship what was missing in childhood. That’s the key to healing the inner child.
