The Work

Healing attachment wounds & complex trauma with the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol

The patterns we develop in our earliest relationships can follow us for decades. They shape how we trust, connect, and see ourselves. When those patterns come from neglect, inconsistency, or trauma they can make it hard to feel safe in our own skin.

The Ideal Parent Figure Protocol is a gentle, research-based, trauma-informed approach to repairing these early relational wounds. It works by creating new, internal experiences of care, protection and attunement, which give your nervous system the secure base it may have never had.

How the IPF Protocol Works

In IPF sessions we use guided imagery to install new internal working models of relating. You don’t need to rehash painful memories or go into your life history in detail. Instead, we focus directly on the emotional and nervous system patterns that keep you stuck.

Over time, this work can help you:

  • Move from anxious, avoidant, or disorganized attachment toward earned security

  • Quiet a harsh inner critic and replace it with a kinder, more supportive inner voice

  • Feel safer in your own body and more grounded in relationships

  • Build resilience and emotional regulation without relying on suppression
