Healing starts when we stop running from the parts of ourselves that hurt the most. In this episode of The Moon Collective Sanctuary Podcast, Dr. Lydia Luna, Ph.D., sits down with Briana Damavandi, LCSW, a certified EMDR psychotherapist specializing in complex trauma and somatic work, to explore the connection between inner child healing and generational trauma and how parts work can help us understand, heal, and bring compassion to the parts of us that still hurt.
Together, they:
- Explore how parts work and inner child healing create deep integration and release.
- Discuss the impact of generational trauma and the patterns we unconsciously repeat.
- Share gentle entry points for reconnecting with wounded inner child parts.
- Reveal how self-compassion and somatic awareness transform emotional pain into empowerment.
- Explain the difference between traditional talk therapy and trauma-informed modalities like EMDR and IFS.
Whether you’re beginning your healing journey or ready to explore deeper layers of generational cycles, this conversation offers guidance, hope, and practical ways to reconnect with your truest self.
Listen now and discover how integrating your inner child can break generations of pain and create lasting freedom.
