Inner Child Healing
A large focus of my practice is Inner Child Healing. This happens in individual sessions, Inner Child Healing Groups, Intensives, Workshops and Retreats.
The wounded Inner Child inside of us is real. They are waiting for the love, attention, and the proper care they didn’t receive in childhood. We can give them this reparative care and healing they need. Once this happens, the energy of the Inner Child can integrate and become part of the adult self. Then, we can reclaim our natural qualities: joy, curiosity, pleasure-seeking, sensorial wonder, connection, emotional expression, clear communication and boundaries, quiet-seeking, playfulness, silliness, ability to enjoy being alone, and all of the qualities in the child we weren’t able to fully access.
I have started a youtube channel where you can learn more about healing your Inner Child. It is called: For Your Inner Child. There is currently one introductory video and a recently added video for the Inner Child. Check it out!

Program Details:
We are now accepting applications and conducting phone interviews for our long-awaited Inner Child Healing Program. This intimate, transformative program will last for 12 weeks. For the first 7 weeks, we will meet virtually as a group for 1.5 hours each week. Additionally, each participant will have one 1 hour individual session with Alison during the first week or 2 of the program. (This session can be virtual or in-person.) Each participant will be paired with a “Supportive Sibling” accountability partner to check in with weekly, as well. Lastly, participants will be encouraged to do some very simple exercises on their own. On the 8th week of the program, we will all gather in person in Santa Cruz, CA for a residential healing retreat. We will arrive the afternoon of Monday, 4/29 and leave on the morning of Friday, May 3. This retreat will allow each participant to do a corrective re-enactment of a formative scene from childhood along with numerous other corrective exercises. Subtle body energy healing will be utilized throughout the program and retreat. The retreat will include art, play, time in nature, journaling, meditation and visualization. The home at which it is being held is a gorgeous home in the Pleasure Point area of Santa Cruz. There is a hot tub on the property, as well as outdoor seating areas and a fire pit. There are 3 bedrooms in the home. Each room will have space for 2 participants. After the retreat, we will continue with our weekly zoom meetings and practices, concluding with our final zoom session on the week of 5/27/24. Each participant will also have another individual session (in-person or virtual) with Alison or another facilitator post-retreat. This program is limited to 6 participants only. As of 2/20/24, there are 2 spots left.

From previous participants:
“Transformational would be a severe understatement.
I am renewed, empowered, encouraged and restored in ways I could only imagined could have happened in a weekend.”
“This retreat is outstanding.”
“This was one of the best retreats of my life.”
“I used to have headaches whenever I had fear or resistance internally. They were very intense. After I worked through the underlying cause in the Inner Child Retreat, the headaches stopped. I can now do things that are out of my comfort zone, and the headaches are few and far between.”
“Coming in to the retreat, I was very anxious and doubtful that it might not work for me. Now that I’m done with the retreat writing this, I’m so filled with gratitude and joy. This retreat is truly transformational.”
This program, which includes a residential retreat, focuses on healing the Inner Child. For 12 weeks, participants will be guided to find their Inner Child and to do a significant amount of healing work. This deep healing program includes a transformative retreat. During the five day retreat, participants will be supported to go to vulnerable places in which their pain and wounding are stored. This wounding from childhood leaves a lasting impression on our present day lives, impacting everything from our posture to our relationships. By choosing to do the work to heal this material, which resides in our subconscious and our bodies (both energetic and physical), we can free ourselves from the unseen chains which bind us. Another aspect of this work is the creation of a healthy, loving relationship with ourselves. This workshop, facilitated a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and assistants, expertly supports participants to do all of this and more. The retreat consists of numerous group and individual exercises such as group corrective reenactment, guided visualization, art, journaling, play and psycho-education.
Alison Harre, LMFT practices subtle body energy healing (Syntara System) as well as psychotherapy. Energy healing will be used throughout the program and retreat in addition to psychotherapeutic exercises. Alison works to create a very safe, deep container so that each participant can do the work that they are ready and able to do at this time. You can read past participants’ comments about their experience on the Testimonials page. All participants are required to have a phone interview and fill out an application in order to register. A $200 deposit is required to save your spot once you have completed the application and the phone interview. This deposit will be credited toward the cost of the program. Email Alison to set up your phone interview or with any questions. Click here to fill out the required application. Program is limited to 6 participants.
Please email Alison if you would like to schedule a phone interview which is required to participate in the program.
