THE TAMURA METHOD

TWO SELVES

In each of us, there are two selves: the Inner-Adult and the Inner-Child. These parts experience and engage with the world in different ways. The Inner-Adult is our conscious self, known for practical and clear thinking, while the Inner-Child is our subconscious self, holding our deepest wounds. When triggered or upset, the Inner-Child in people who have experienced something difficult at a young age that they never fully healed from, can potentially take over from the Inner-Adult, reacting to perceived pain instead of responding to what is. The Tamura Method explores the origins of our emotional injuries, teaching the Inner-Adult to embrace itself and the Inner-Child, promoting healing for the Inner-Child’s wounds.

ACCESSING FUNDAMENTAL EMOTIONAL INJURIES THROUGH ENERGETIC TOUCH

Connecting with the Inner-Child through energetic touch and sensory awareness, to gently activate relevant body memories, imagery, and emotions. This approach allows the somatic experiencing of trauma, without relying solely on the mind. Fostering a felt & embodied sense of trust that can sometimes be challenging with primarily intellectual methods of accessing such things.

SEPARATION OF THE TWO SELVES

When the Inner-Adult and Inner-Child are entangled, it’s hard to tell who is in control. Working to untangle them through the Tamura Method brings an awareness of limiting behaviors and beliefs. With this new awareness, the Inner-Adult gains autonomy and clarity, operating from a trauma-informed calm state. This shifts the roles where the Inner-Adult was once ineffective, and now can guide and protect the Inner-Child from a place of love. The adult self now guides and nurtures the child self, rather than the child self fearfully controlling and isolating the adult self.
