Primal Rebirth Therapy
Discover the power of inner child work
What is Primal Rebirth Therapy?
Primal Rebirth Therapy (PRT) is a holistic growth therapy. It is a body-oriented therapy that focuses on working with the inner child. Most of the problems we encounter as adults have their roots in our childhood. It is during this period that beliefs about who you are today are formed. This period was not ideal for anyone and often results in persistent—and frequently unconscious—negative beliefs and behavioral patterns that continue to influence your life.
Especially if your needs for warmth, security, love, and space to be yourself were not sufficiently met, (negative) beliefs can develop, such as: “I’m not good enough, there’s no place for me, I’m not worthy, …”. During this period, you also develop strategies and behavioral patterns to get what you need or to confirm the image you have of yourself, others, and the world.
These beliefs, behavioral patterns, and strategies can prevent you, as an adult in the here and now, from living your life to the fullest in a way that feels right for you.
How does Primal Rebirth Therapy work?
With PRT, you go back in time and explore the situations that shaped the development of your beliefs, drawing on the strength of who you are now and the wisdom of who you originally are. By reliving and re-experiencing these situations from these sources of strength, you can learn to let go of trapped emotions and old patterns of thought and behavior, opening up new possibilities in the present.
To connect with memories associated with fear, sadness, and anger—as well as joy and pleasure—PRT uses various techniques.
