Using the same principles I teach to women who struggle to be successful at relationships, I will help caring professionals to create more authentic, expansive, and fulfilling client relationships without losing their center, overgiving, or burning out in the process. Ultimately this is about who you want to be in the world. Who you want to be for yourself, and who you want to be for your clients. Through experiential storytelling and interactive exercises participants will get in touch with their own courage, open their hearts to their own innocence, understand their own attachment needs, and see how to give care instead of taking care, so that they can offer the same to their clients. This allows them to be not just “good enough” as healers, but truly great, truly prepared and resourced to facilitate profound transformation. Participants learn by doing throughout the talk so the approach is very much experiential. We will be doing exercises that incorporate meditation, creativity, storytelling, sharing, reflection and movement. This means that the work is transformational, somatic and energetic, as well as intellectual and educational. We are here to apply what we are learning together in the moment, which is where change happens. From a coaching perspective we will talk about courage, where it comes from and using the power of story find it in ourselves. The method here is also about the power of group and community. Using Daniel P. Brown and David Elliot’s work on attachment repair in adults we will look at the five functions of secure attachment and learn how to apply that to our own preparation for the work. Finally we will talk about care itself, the quality of our care and what kind of framework we need in order to offer that in the therapeutic context and we will end with another repeatable exercise that participants can take away and implement.
