Dive deep, master your triggers and unlock calm and joy for you and your family!
"I've realized how much of my parenting was not about my child at all. It's just me trying to prove myself over and over again :( This challenge was the wake-up call I needed to start healing!"
This course is based on the principles of psychodynamic psychology. We help you bring your unconscious beliefs to the light, examine and let go of them, making way for the deep life-affirming knowledge that is at the core of your authentic self.
Every day for 5 days we invite you to find 20 minutes in a safe and private place where you can watch a video, read, but more importantly - write and feel (an excuse to hide from the kids with a pen and some paper!).
A lot of the "work" happens as you go about your daily life: expect insights and welcome them with love!
We will ask you to write down your answers to exercises - for your eyes only. This is possibly the most powerful psychotherapeautic exercise you can do without being in an actual counselling session.
Finally, don't worry if you can't get to the course every day for 5 days. Once you have puchased it, the course is yours to make your own. Just a note: each day builds on the previous one and we saved the best for last!
This course is for you if you feel that:
You often find yourself in the middle of a triggered reaction (a behaviour that happens "before you know it" and usually involves the things you vowed not to do, e.g. shouting, threatening, punishing etc.);
You spend a lot of time in survival mode: fight (yell, argue, criticize, rage, clench fists etc.) - flight (escape including into your phone) - freeze (become unresponsive and unable to take decisions) - fawn (avoid conflict, people pleasing behaviour).
You are driven to overperform as a parent, as if you kept trying to prove something.
You feel compelled to change your parenting in the presence of other people.
You are your own harshest critic.
You often feel hopeless and never good enough.
The most important question!
You feel like you get your life back as unconscious beliefs stop running the show.
Your triggers lose their power over you.
The resolutions you make finally start to stick.
You bring conscious choice into your parenting.
You soften into your authentic self.
Your tap into the gifts of presence - for your child and yourself, as you exit the survival mode.
You receive a step-by-step approach to defusing your triggers whenever they surface.
It's the next best thing to sitting down for a private counselling session with our in-house licensed therapist and Compassionate Inquiry practitioner Joe Atkinson, the author of the course.
We are starting the challenge by getting in touch with some of the core beliefs we might have about ourselves. We all have them, and the first step towards loosening them is being able to identify them.
When these beliefs come up, we usually meet them with harsh judgment. Ironically, the judgment only confirms the already painful belief. Here's an approach to try instead.
These beliefs are a heavy baggage. Why on earth did we create them in the first place? Could they have served us once?
You now know what you believe. But do you know what you know?
A practical exercise that builds on all the work that you have done in this challenge and gives you a roadmap out of your triggers, to use over and over again.
