Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

Assessing Your Inner Child’s Wants & Needs


Listen Later

What does it mean to shift a relationship that’s just not working? How do we reestablish independence and access our gifts while carrying childhood trauma? 

This listener and I are breaking down these questions and assessing the state of her marriage in today’s Language of Love Session. It’s not uncommon for some people in long-term relationships to feel like their independence is tied to the presence of a partner – we almost revert to a child-like sense of ourselves. But we must teach our inner child to speak up for their wants and needs, so tune in to discover the valuable tips I offer this listener! 


In today’s Session, we explore:

  • The state of her marriage 
  • The trauma we carry into our relationships
  • Reestablishing independence as adults
  • How to integrate the wants and needs of our inner child into our lives
  • Why a somatic therapist can help 
  • Releasing generational trauma 
  • How our souls choose our family of origin
  • Tips to cultivate connection and access our gifts

  • We have to work through our fear and resistance to move toward love and intimacy. Check out my website for more information on how you can begin this journey!
