Right now, I am in Krakow on a rainy day, watching the rain outside my window. After a year of coming every month to work, to create, to learn, and, most profoundly, to participate in Family Constellation work—the very heart of my research MA project—I find myself in a space of deep reflection. The coming weekend will be the last of this chapter, a goodbye to a time that has influenced me deeply. The emotional weight of sadness and loss has come to me gently but insistently.

The concept of the inner child is central to many therapeutic approaches and is often considered the foundation of personal growth and well-being. The inner child represents the emotional and vulnerable part of ourselves that may have been neglected or unsupported during our formative years.

He has devoted his entire life to improving human consciousness and searching for the most effective ways to help people in their suffering. What do we mean when we talk about consciousness?

'What is the most beautiful in virile men is something feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine' Susan Sontag Recently, the theme of masculine and feminine has been very current in my life … I would like to say I am not referring here to gender… I am referring to aspects of the psyche… energies within the self and my understanding of it which is based on personal observation, experience and reading that I have done.

My great grandparents and grandparents lived through war and were directly affected by its atrocities. They were unable to speak about their terrifying experiences and instead, chose to try and forget them. Every day, they had to push through the trauma and try to leave the horrors of the past behind.
