AGE REGRESSION / BELIEF CHANGE WORK

Social and environmental conditions play a major role in determining how a person will respond to the variety of challenges they are sure to encounter. When a child lacks fundamentally sound strategies for coping with life's challenges, certain behavioral clues will surface as an adult that point directly to the age at which natural development has been stunted.

Understanding the structure of emotional responses is not only important for counselors, it's vital for anyone seeking growth and understanding. You will learn to: Recognize the relationship between patterns of childhood development and self-destructive behaviors in adults and design a plan for healing...Recognize similar patterns in family members, friends, and business contacts and influence the interaction toward win/win results...Take charge of your life when unforeseen challenges get in the way of your hopes and dreams...And more.

Grief is a natural part of our life cycle. How, then, do we respond in a way that honors this process while still allowing us to function in a healthy, productive manner in our daily lives?

Moving Through Grief With Grace And Dignity will show you how to respond to tragic events and loss the way the human brain was designed to respond. You Will Learn: How to sort out what aspects of moving through grief are naturally effective...Which commonly accepted phases of grief can be eliminated...Why the traditional “Stages of Grief” can actually keep you stuck...and what to do about it...And more.
