Healing Isn’t About Fixing You—It’s About Remembering Who You’ve Always Been

I’m Dr. Vashti Clark, Ed.D., LPC—trauma specialist, inner child advocate, and founder of Be Gentle With Yourself™.

I work with women who never felt safe being soft. Women who grew up silencing their needs, raising themselves emotionally, and learning to function while feeling fractured inside.

My work supports those healing from:

Mother wounds and generational pain
Emotional neglect, spiritual trauma, and identity disconnection
The silent grief of who they had to become just to survive

Through a spiritually grounded, trauma-informed lens, I guide women back to the parts of themselves they had to leave behind. My approach weaves clinical tools, intuitive insight, and deep inner child integration.

Whether in therapy, group healing, or writing, my mission is the same: to help you feel safe enough to soften—and strong enough to come home to yourself.

🕊️ Healing is sacred. Gentleness is power. You don’t have to earn your softness—you only have to return to it.

2. GROUP PROGRAM BIO

💖 Program Title:

The Gentle Return™

6-Week Inner Child Integration & Re-parenting Experience

The Gentle Return™ is a 6-week trauma recovery experience for women who were never taught how to feel safe, soft, or whole.

This is not a quick fix—it’s a guided return to your self. To the girl you used to be. To the voice you used to silence. To the parts of you that still feel afraid, angry, or unseen.

Inside the program, we’ll explore:

The mother wound & emotional neglect
Inner child journaling & re-parenting rituals
Nervous system safety & soft embodiment
Identity reclamation after survival mode

Each session blends gentle psychoeducation, sacred circle reflection, and guided integration tools designed to help you reconnect—not just cope.

This is for the woman who wants to heal with softness, not shame.

Come as you are. Cry. Remember. Reclaim.

Heal from silent, generational trauma
