Early childhood wounding leads to adult pain and takes away internal joy and happiness. Using unique strategies to access buried child-hearts, Anne offers a personal development program that improves on current inner-child techniques to awaken your child-like spirit and access self-love.
Too many adults suffer in being triggered by others and events feeling too often upset, angry, defeated, shamed, and fearful. Their unhealed wounds also expose them to their early beliefs about not being good enough (low self-esteem) or not safe enough (often anxious), not deserving (not successful enough), or not having control (withdrawing). Within their limited resources young child-selves adopt limiting strategies to keep themselves safe, in control and proving their self-worth. Examples of these are: perfectionism, manipulating and controlling others, becoming tireless givers or overachievers.
Now is the perfect time on the planet to move in the direction of joy, peace, love, fulfillment and true self-expression.
Anne Uemura, PhD, has many traditional achievements in her background. After receiving her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Philosophy, she taught at the college level for ten years. Her Socratic style led her to question the direction of her own life, which led to a PhD in Clinical Psychology at University of Maine. A predoctoral fellowship at UC-San Francisco followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at UC-Berkeley situated her permanently in California.
After thirteen years as a counseling psychologist for troubled, promising students in workshops, group, and individual counseling at UC-Berkeley, Anne retired to a small private practice in Napa, California. The leisure of this period of midlife afforded her the opportunity to explore nontraditional studies and training. Anne sees her life as a testimony to the riches of achievement through traditional means. But more important, she is eager to tell you about how much more there is when you move to the out-of-the-box principles and concepts that eventually led her to write her groundbreaking book, Listen to the Cries of Your Heart.
