Healing the Child Within - Case Studies on Addressing the Impact of Childhood Trauma

These case studies evolved between the Indian summers of 2022 and 2024 and were part of the project – “Effectiveness of Healing the child within” techniques for well-being. The case studies involved additional assessments of childhood trauma inventory (using Adverse Childhood Experience – 16 questions) and PTSD assessment. The approach, consistent with the project objectives (improving well-being & sleep quality, lowering depression & anxiety), explored qualitative insights by several therapists, along with quantitative assessments. Several therapists across 4 locations (India-three locations and Japan) contributed to these case studies using the “healing the child within” process. Each case study represents a major presenting problem followed by therapeutic journey that included qualitative and quantitative assessments, and outcome as highlighted by different therapist using same structure (Release Reframe Toolkit – Release from the body, Reframe in the mind). The focus was on key issues during childhood (current life) using the ACE16 questionnaire framework. The findings provide valuable perspective on the effectiveness of “Healing the child within” methodology for addressing the footprint of trauma in urban India population.
