RRP (Relationship Recovery Process) is a structured, small-group approach to working through childhood trauma and inner-child healing developed in the 1990s by Dr. Amanda Curtin and popularized by Patrick Teahan, LICSW.If you've ever wondered why some relationship patterns repeat, or why small moments trigger outsized reactions, RRP offers both a framework for understanding that, and a path through it.Growing up in an unsafe or unstable family can disconnect two parts of ourselves. The adult self, who navigates the present, and the inner child, who still holds the emotions and survival responses from our earliest years. The inner child doesn't disappear with age; it continues shaping how we relate, react, and cope, often without our adult self realizing it. This disconnect between the part of us that lives in the past (the inner child), and the part of us who lives in the present (our inner adult) can cause a lot of problems. We might overreact to something in the present, because it reminds our inner kid of something that happened in the past. We might struggle to choose heathy people in our adult lives, because our inner child is still trying to resolve something that happened in the past. We might stay in situations longer than we should, despite knowing that they aren't working for us, because our inner kid never learned that it's ok to say no.RRP is the process of reconnecting those two parts, so the adult can lead and the inner child can finally be heard and cared for.Groups are open to participants in Europe, the UK, Canada, and the USA.
