An Overview of ID Work 

ID Work offers a holistic and profoundly impactful way of processing Early Trauma. This group-oriented modality utilizes the power of human interconnectedness and resonating to facilitate individual healing.

When we’re young and under-resourced, and experience adverse situations, we become traumatized. Our psyche, our inner world, fragments resulting in split-off parts, or aspects.

These aspects of ourselves continue to exist inside us. However, they remain in isolation, trapped in those terrible moments when they were overwhelmed, frightened, and hurt.

We continue to grow and develop, and create a wide range of strategies so that we can keep living, or merely surviving.

Our unprocessed traumas, especially those that occurred from the time of conception through to around four years of age, continue to impact us well into adulthood. They affect all areas of our lives including our capacity to connect and be in relationships, our work, our sense of belonging, and even our relationship with food.

There is no pathologizing or labeling in ID Work. Instead, ID Facilitators attune to the group process and support the Subject of an ID Session to come into safe, tender contact with their young parts. This contact serves to re-integrate the psyche and to mend the healthy bonds that were broken when the trauma occurred.

The result is a profound sense of safety and inner peace. This self-nurturing contact frees up a wellspring of natural life force and creative energy, and opens the door for us to move from surviving to thriving.

* While ID Sessions (or Self-Meetings) are held in a group setting, we recognize the autonomy and sovereignty of each individual. To that end, we hold that the Subject is ultimately in charge during the session (and not the ID Facilitator). Ultimately, the Subject knows what's best for them. *
