When we think about the experiences that shape who we become and the parts that make up our “beautiful whole”, we often think of the really good or really bad experiences that we have had. In DNMS, we are working on getting to know the parts of us that have been hurt by not having our needs met. This can happen when we have to parent our parents, we aren’t listened to and offered comfort when we need it, we feel ignored, left-out or rejected, or we aren’t given the space and resources we need to develop our own identity with acceptance and understanding. When we work together doing DNMS, we will be building your foundation of safety and security and doing the work of becoming a friend to yourself. The result of DNMS is that you are able to break free from patterns of reacting, become more connected to the present moment, and learn to love and trust yourself.
