My guest today in this final episode of the Letters to Daughters season is Brya Hanan. She’s a wife, mother, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Life Coach, and fellow pilgrim on the healing journey. Brya brings her Catholic tradition, professional and personal insights, and understanding of trauma to offer accompaniment and tools for interior integration and wholeness.
She weaves together Church teaching, Psychology, and Inner Child work and hopes to provide encouragement through children and non-fiction books, her personal blog, and webinars to help people live a fulfilling and authentic life.
In this conversation, we’re talking about Brya’s own healing journey, who our inner child is, how to embrace them, and how this approach to healing is integrated and Catholic.
If you're longing for healing, deeper self-awareness in your identity as daughter, or a closer relationship with God as Father, sister, this episode is for you.
Topics we cover:
Brya’s story as a Catholic woman
The story behind Brya’s new book, Befriending your Inner Child: A Catholic Approach to Healing and Wholeness
Brya’s advice for listeners who have no idea what it means to befriend their inner child and no longer try to erase or abandon themselves
How learning about attachment styles impacts the way that we claim the reality of being made in the image of God
Brya’s ADULT acronym and how it can help us rise above wounds and fractures in our lives
How we can be better tuned into the sensations of our body and how that attunement can bring healing
What attunement is and why it’s so important when it comes to befriending our inner child
How Brya lives out the feminine genius in her ordinary, daily life as a daughter of God
