Do you feel the weight of oppression and control? The external fight might distract you from your deepest oppressor – emotional repression rooted in childhood. Join Ina Backbier to explore how this unconscious survival mechanism shapes your thoughts, stifles creativity, and may be the culprit keeping you trapped in worry, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, messy relationships, and compulsive patterns.
———————-
Freedom is more than a political or societal concept. It’s a state of being. A deep inner experience of lightness, clarity, and ease. True freedom is the ability to fully feel and express yourself, moving through life untangled from the weight of unprocessed emotions.
However, neuroscience and psychology tell us that much of our behaviour isn’t free at all – it’s puppeteered by unconscious emotional mechanisms, often rooted in emotional repression. You might fight for external freedom, but what about the hidden tyrant within? Emotional repression – the sneaky habit of burying anger, hurt, or fear – can keep us locked in painful loops of worry, anxiety, chronic pain, messy relationships, and compulsive patterns.
In this interactive and revealing 2-part workshop, Kiloby Inquiries Mentor and Dutch psychologist, Ina Backbier, will help you coax your inner oppressor out of the shadows of your subconscious. Discover how emotional repression controls your thoughts and actions, limits your creativity, censors your speech and restricts your ability to live on your own terms.
And here’s the best part: as you begin to dissolve these inner chains, freedom will no longer be something you chase – it will be the way you live. Decisions will flow with ease, old struggles will dissolve, and you’ll feel bold enough to take on those dreams you’ve tucked away. You’ll laugh in the face of procrastination, stop caring about others’ opinions, and show up in life as your authentic, unapologetic self. And guess what? Freeing yourself will provide you with a voice of authenticity that ignites freedom like sparks lighting a revolution.
Workshop 1: Exposing the Shadowy Tyrant of Emotional Repression Within
Friday, January 31st
Ready to uncover the sneaky programs keeping you stuck? Ina Backbier will help you shine a light on the unconscious layers of your psyche that silently block emotional freedom.
In this interactive session, you’ll learn four tools that will turn you into an emotional detective and serve as the basis for reversing emotional repression:
• The Reverse Inquiry: A deceptively simple tool that exposes how your conscious mind is gaslighting you every single day.
• The Boomerang Tool: Think of it as your emotional detective and magic mirror in one. This self-inquiry technique reflects your hidden inner stories back to you through outer triggers, uncovering the unconscious narratives shaping your life – an important first step to dissolving them.
• Vulnerability Inquiry: A simple four-word self-inquiry tool that reveals the emotional repression in your body, and its unseen hand in shaping your daily struggles and hardships.
• Mind-Body Mirroring: By aligning the mind with the body’s natural intelligence, this inquiry tool extinguishes self-gaslighting – a critical prerequisite to deeper repression work.
Expect playful exploration, guided exercises and plenty of “aha” moments as Ina Backbier equips you with self-inquiry tools to break free from outdated subconscious patterns controlling your actions and thoughts.
Workshop 2: Exposing the Conspiracy Within
Saturday, February 1st
In this experiential workshop, Ina Backbier will show you the conspiratorial connections between the emotions you are repressing and the hardships you are suffering. Explore how what you feel, fear, and avoid shapes your daily discontent – and why merely processing shadows or belief systems might have you “suffering hopping”.
This isn’t just about theory; it’s about launching a reconnaissance mission into your own psyche, armed with the tools of self-inquiry. Here’s what you’ll discover:
• Utility Inquiry: What if your struggles aren’t accidents but the result of brilliant survival mechanisms with hidden payoffs like safety, control, or love? This tool uncovers the sneaky “hidden gains” that keep suffering alive.
• The Starter Net: Think of this tool as a treasure map for your inner world. This tool helps you chart the connections between your emotions, fears, and your most persistent avoidance patterns. It’s a practical way to rattle the bars of our self-imposed prisons.
This interactive session is a starter’s guide to stepping off the hamster wheel of struggle and confusion, so you can run free in the fields of ease and clarity. Join Ina Backbier for a daring journey into the “deep state” of our subconscious and start laying the lasting foundation for both inner and outer freedom.
