The 3-day weekend Intensive, Recovering the Authentic Self: Family of Origin Intensive, will teach you to

• Foster healthier relationships

• Practice better boundaries

• Reduce and release toxic shame

• Recognize, embrace and reclaim your inherent self-worth!

3-Phase Frame Work: The intensive weekend sessions are based on Pia Mellody’s Post Induction Therapy model. This pioneering work in the treatment of childhood trauma, carried toxic shame, boundaries, attachment ruptures, codependence, and addiction is offered under the name Survivors I at The Meadows treatment center in Wickenburg, Arizona. Pia Mellody is the author of Facing Codependence, Facing Love Addiction, and The Intimacy Factor.

Informational Phase: You will be introduced to the model developed by Pia Mellody. We will explore how the precious child is influenced by relational trauma (defined as “anything less than nurturing” by Pia Mellody). We Will delve into how these experiences impact relationships with self and others in adulthood with a focus on self-esteem, boundaries, reality, dependency, and moderation issues.

Debriefing Phase: You will be gently guided though a re-examination of family of origin relationships and identifying feelings about those relationships.

Experiential Phase: During this deep and powerful process, you will be gently guided through techniques to assist with healing childhood relational wounds. In a safe environment, you will release the painful feelings and carried emotions of the past and reclaim your power. The focus of this work is on impact not intent, naming and healing the trauma, rather than placing blame on caregivers.
