Personal Development and Training Course
Being in close relationship calls forth the best in us, love, realness, pleasure, presence and joy... Relating intimately, be it with partners, friends, family or community, can also also fee challenging, triggering and painful. The stronger the pull toward another human, the deeper the longing to be seen and met by them, the more habits and strategies can take hold - old acquaintances designed to keep us safe. But that sense of safety may limit our spontaneity, joy, authenticity and love - all natural qualities of the heart.
Have you noticed that you when you really want close connection, you may either try to change yourself or the other to get your needs met, or that you minimize your relational hopes and wants?
In close relationships, do you tend to:
remain alert to avoid being dominated or directed by the other’s intentions?
fear you’ll lose the other if you’d really follow your own perception and needs?
worry you may be inadequate or wrong which drives you to constantly enhance yourself?
sense being unwanted or unloved so you’ll to give too much of yourself?
find yourself driven to prove your value to yourself and others by achieving success?
intensify feelings as they define your depth and your unique identity?
prefer figuring life out in your head, by yourself, to avoid feeling helpless?
try to create security and loyalties to compensate for feeling unsupported and unsafe?
fear missing out and feeling trapped, compelling you to always seek the next new thing?
In our our early life relationships we often lacked a solid sense of safety, of being truly seen and loved. Growing up we acquired strategies to get some semblance of what we were missing, or to minimize feelings of shame, fear or pain. Today, those same strategies, intelligent as they were then, can keep us unfulfilled, small, trapped, numb, loveless, and running in circles.
To understand what we once absorbed and which experiences led us here, is liberating.
In this work we will bring respect, warmth and curiosity to the younger parts of our psyche. We will gently open to vulnerability and authentic aliveness. As soon as the resourceful Self you are today holds and knows stored past experiences, the healing of your core attachment wound has begun.
