The wounds from early childhood impact us significantly. I like to compare childhood beliefs about who they are to the foundation of a house. If it is built on beliefs of “I am important, loved, valued, and worthy”, other experiences into adolescence and adulthood will confirm those beliefs. If it is built upon the beliefs of “I am invisible, not enough, and something is wrong with me”, later experiences will confirm this. It is difficulty to build a stable house on rocky soil, but a house built with a solid foundation is likely to sustain harsh weather conditions. If you wonder if your attachment needs were met as a child or if there are childhood wounds that may be impacting you, consider the following attachment needs of children: https://www.whitefeathertherapy.com/blog/what-is-the-aip-model monthly 0.5 2025-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc01bd2ebf7d3ac636d47d/1758741298661-VNTO3F7MA4G516N5A9NL/unsplash-image-tw-mAZXr6H4.jpg Blog - What is the AIP Model? - The AIP model in EMDR stands for the Adaptive Information Processing model. It is the foundational theoretical framework behind Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, developed by Francine Shapiro. What is the AIP Model? The AIP model proposes that the brain has a natural ability to process and integrate experiences in a healthy, adaptive way—unless that process is disrupted by trauma or highly stressful events. It can be compared to our digestive system. Typically, our body knows what to do with substances that enter our mouths. However, if a child swallows a rock, the child cannot digest it naturally since it disrupts the natural process of digestion. The child will likely require a visit to the emergency room to help move it through the body. In the same manner, experiences that could not be digested by our memory network naturally can be processed with intention utilizing EMDR. https://www.whitefeathertherapy.com/blog/when-loss-changes-everything-understanding-and-healing-grief monthly 0.5 2025-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc01bd2ebf7d3ac636d47d/1758218435299-TK3J8TDR1NO2Z1ACYA10/woman-crying-while-talking-about-her-problems-2025-03-07-22-36-35-utc.jpg Blog - When Loss Changes Everything: Understanding and Healing Grief - What is Grief? Grief is the natural emotional response to loss, particularly the loss of someone or something deeply meaningful. It’s a complex process that affects people emotionally, physically, mentally, and even spiritually. It is an internal experience of loss — the pain, sorrow, confusion, or numbness that comes when something important is gone or changed. Healthy grief is painful but gradually becomes more manageable. Grief is the internal experience (thoughts, feelings, pain) while mourning is the external expression (rituals, talking, crying, memorials). Though painful, grief has functions. Grief is love. It honors the depth of our love and connection. It helps us adapt to life without what was lost. It also helps us release the emotions instead of suppressing them, allowing space for meaning-making and eventual healing. It most commonly follows the death of a loved one, but can also arise from: The end of a relationship or friendship Loss of a job or career Miscarriage or infertility Illness or disability Loss of identity or sense of self Moving or immigration World events https://www.whitefeathertherapy.com/new-page-1 daily 1.0 2025-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc01bd2ebf7d3ac636d47d/d9976a18-aaae-45c3-832a-0c0beb7df2e3/feather.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc01bd2ebf7d3ac636d47d/84d6ce27-91ca-4903-914a-2da84d861c6f/Healing+Hearts+2.jpg https://www.whitefeathertherapy.com/resources daily 0.75 2025-03-25 https://www.whitefeathertherapy.com/specialties daily 0.75 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc01bd2ebf7d3ac636d47d/ced5229b-6f05-4376-936b-700213a79af2/Keller+quote.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc01bd2ebf7d3ac636d47d/1743451574413-3G4GYUDWPGJG95XTWROU/unsplash-image-7s3biR6HATU.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc01bd2ebf7d3ac636d47d/671246e1-7f19-4b5c-b50a-f4e8e3d1354b/youre-going-to-be-just-fine-2024-11-08-21-57-32-utc.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc01bd2ebf7d3ac636d47d/bb43dd39-897a-4789-95c5-26badddc1f37/happy-recovering-grandfather-is-visited-by-his-gra-2025-03-16-09-13-07-utc.jpg https://www.whitefeathertherapy.com/trauma-therapy daily 0.75 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc01bd2ebf7d3ac636d47d/d8d1e13c-8ece-40c5-b490-d976dbf00d76/young-woman-sitting-near-window-and-talking-to-psy-2024-10-16-22-55-34-utc.jpg https://www.whitefeathertherapy.com/grief-and-loss daily 0.75 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc01bd2ebf7d3ac636d47d/1742922903252-AY5SZBXIEJRU1JPJG10A/unsplash-image-F9DFuJoS9EU.jpg https://www.whitefeathertherapy.com/medical-issues daily 0.75 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc01bd2ebf7d3ac636d47d/1742923035370-4S81LLB5NYUXSIRJGQT4/unsplash-image-7ilpPBxTavU.jpg https://www.whitefeathertherapy.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2025-03-26
