Research in developmental and attachment psychology shows that early relational experiences leave a deep mark on how we construct our identity, relationships, and meaning in adult life. The way we love, the way we interpret reality, and even the directions in which we plan our lives are often influenced by these internalized experiences, some of which were formed even before we had the language to name them.

We invite you to a conference held by Dr. Psih. Gabriela Dumitriu to explore together how the relationships we have experienced throughout our development have shaped our identity and become invisible landmarks in building the meaning of our own lives.

So, does the inner child exist? And if so, where does it “live”?

About the speaker:

Gabriela Dumitriu is a psychotherapist, university lecturer, and author of specialist books focused on the assessment and psychological support of children and parents in crisis situations, including “A Child in Two Homes: How Do We Protect Children When Their Parents Separate?” She is the founder of the ArtePsy Association and has extensive experience in developing assessment and psychotherapeutic intervention programs, working with children, adults, and families in times of crisis and transformation.

One of her central concerns is developmental psychology and how early experiences shape adult personality and destiny. She is concerned with the conceptual clarification of the notion of the inner child from a scientific perspective, integrating contributions from developmental psychology, attachment theory, and integrative psychotherapy. In her individual and group practice, she approaches this concept with an emphasis on resources, resilience, and self-understanding as a way of connecting with the meaning of life.
