Inner child storytelling is a methodology that is oftentimes overlooked. What if you knew that the stories we hear or tell ourselves during early childhood can set us up for unwavering resilience in the future? At some point in our early childhood lives, we’ve managed to come across some type of storytelling experience. Maybe an elder sat you down and told you about their early days, someone may have shown you a Disney fairytale or maybe you went to storytime at your local community center school. But, have you ever wondered why it’s important to tell stories to children? And more specifically, how to tell them, when to tell them, or which ones…? Through her practice and studies, Yza de Burbure, a hypnotherapist, and trance practitioner sees the power of stories and how Humans are able to create their realities through the dialogues they tell themselves and others. And if we are going to live through story, it only benefits us to utilize them to make our children grow more responsibly, freely so that they can flourish into loving human beings.  So, what stories do you tell yourself during difficult situations? Which ones can help you persevere? And which ones prevent you from living your true self? Today Yza and I are going to connect the dots and learn how we can help our inner child and the children around us become resilient through storytelling.

But after working 15 years in advertising, 5 of which were at FBC Global Marketing - one of the biggest international agencies, she came to the point where she had lost herself in so many ways. Faced with the challenges of raising a young child, overcoming mental battles and mending a marriage which was on the brink of failure, she knew it was time for a change. As she sought help, she managed to come in contact with a therapist who treated her clinical depression using the powerful Gestalt methodology. Only after the first 5 short sessions, Maria felt that she was able to overcome the crisis at hand. With a sense of rebirth, her curiosity led her to study new directions that transformed from a marketing executive into a dynamic consultant and executive coach. Tune in as we talk about her story, how she escaped the rabbit hole of depression and managed to attain extraordinary levels of emotional acceptance and control.
