INNER CHILD INTEGRATION
Having worked primarily in the United States, Trisha was invited to come to the Netherlands in 1990 to do a graduate training in regression therapy for professionals. In a demonstration during the training, she included Inner Child work in the healing and integration part of the session. Seeing this, students and graduates wanted a more in-depth training so the first Inner Child Integration Therapy Training was started in the Netherlands in 1994. Trisha pioneered this paradigm and she continues to offer training world wide.

FROM TRISHA
“I never planned any of this! Institutes, schools and individuals simply heard about what I was doing and invited me to do trainings, seminars, lectures and workshops for their centers all over the United States.
Individuals from other countries attending these presentations began to invite me to the institutes in their countries to do trainings, workshops, seminars and lectures for them. Since my one addiction is travel, it worked for me!
More important, as I began to travel and experience other cultures, different ways of thinking, unfamiliar viewpoints and family systems, I was forced to stretch who I was to be able to encompass these different realities.
Working in Europe in countries where they were invaded and taken over by a foreign country created a generational impact with issues of shame, rage, sorrow, guilt and powerlessness to a degree that I did not find in the United States. Although I had worked with Vietnam veterans and post-traumatic stress disorder, it is different when your homes are invaded and your women violated.
Working with people who had been in prisoner of war camps in Indonesia or Germany made it necessary for me to understand and create new models of how to work with this kind of impacted trauma.
Understanding and not judging people from countries with primarily arranged marriages or places where repression of woman was ‘normal’; this was a big step for me. Seeing how marriages functioned when they were based not on love but on other cultural priorities stretched my awareness.
I am deeply thankful for the many gifts given to me by individuals from these many countries. It has grounded my nonjudgmental therapeutic approach. It has taught me understanding and compassion. These gifts I carry with me through my life.”
