You might be wondering, what is a wounded child part?
Have you ever felt safe and in control one moment, and then something triggers you and you no longer in your most adult self? When wounded child parts become triggered you may react in ways that you cannot control. Making the child part show itself.
DNMS works with your triggers in a way that they become processed and disappear. DNMS has three separate healing levels. Phase one helps to give immediate relief. Phase two provides foundational stability. Phase three meets the needs of wounded parts and frees them completely.
This is done through mobilizing a team of loving and comforting internal resources. These internal resources provide the emotional support, radical acceptance, and compassion that wounded childhood parts needed when they were younger but did not receive.
As these young, wounded parts heal, unwanted emotions, beliefs, behaviors, and urges will leave. DNMS can resolve and treat anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, complex trauma, attachment wounds, and more. (Cited from The DNMS Institute)
