Healing the Inner Child Through Parts Work: How to Break Generational and Complex Trauma
When talk therapy isn’t enough, and you still find yourself reacting from old wounds or repeating painful patterns, it may be time to look deeper, within the parts of yourself that are asking to be seen, heard, and healed.
In this episode of The Moon Collective Sanctuary Podcast, host Dr. Lydia Luna, Ph.D., licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Moon Collective Sanctuary, welcomes back Briana Perlson, LCSW, a trauma therapist specializing in inner child healing, parts work, and complex trauma. Together, they explore how understanding and working with our “parts,” the many inner voices, wounded selves, and protective mechanisms within, can transform the way we relate to ourselves, our past, and others.
Internal Family Systems: Reconnecting with Your Authentic Self
In a recent episode of The Moon Collective Sanctuary podcast, host Dr. Lydia Luna, PhD, welcomed Lauren Boasberg, LMFT to discuss the fascinating therapeutic approach— Internal Family Systems. Lauren's journey into becoming a therapist began in childhood when her Holocaust survivor grandfather shared his traumatic experiences with her at just seven years old. This early exposure to generational trauma created an existential crisis that ultimately shaped her professional path. Today, Lauren combines EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with IFS to help clients heal from trauma by reconnecting with their authentic selves.
