Details

   We'll walk through and work through a painful past (or present) situation, whether as a child or an adult. Focusing first on our own need that wasn't met, we'll practice self-empathy and work within the group to come to a place of connection with the needs the other person may have been trying to meet.
With a demo and role plays, we'll practice expressing honesty. Then we'll  offer empathy to that person, and receive empathy for our own feelings and needs.

We'll discuss forgiveness of self and others, and explore tools for staying present through honesty and empathy.

Points

  
  • • Focus on our unmet needs from a past or present unresolved situation.
