WHAT IS RELATIONAL TRAUMA?

Anything we experience during our developmental years (Birth – 18 years) that is ‘less than nurturing’, can create deep trauma wounds capable of hindering us from maintaining functional relationships as adults.

Some trauma – like physical and sexual abuse – is blatant and easily recognizable. Other trauma is less obvious, even to the one who suffered through it. It can look like subtle manipulation, unintentional neglect, or a “lack of” – a lack of affection, comfort, attention, or appropriate limits.

The common theme of all trauma is the damage it does to our mental, physical or emotional health – and the impact it has on our ability to love ourselves and others.

MORE ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The 3-Day Breaking Free Workshop is designed for a small group of 3 or 4 participants. Based on the pioneering trauma research of Pia Mellody, Senior Fellow at The Meadows, this experiential workshop provides a safe environment for you to:
  • Explore the origins of your relational trauma and its painful side effects
  • Identify your adaptive survival mechanisms and coping strategies
  • Learn how to release negative emotions rooted in those painful experiences
  • Re-parent the parts of yourself that have been shamed, neglected, or abandoned
  • Learn how to administer self-care and reclaim your intrinsic worth
By connecting the dots between what you experienced in your childhood and how you show up in your adult relationships, you’ll finally have answers to your ‘why’, which can lead to powerful breakthroughs in your current relationship.

WHAT IF I’M UNCOMFORTABLE TALKING IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE?

Then you are just like most of us! Though this is a common concern leading up to the workshop, we find participants report it to be a lot less scary (and a whole lot more comfortable) than they expected, once they’ve experienced it for themselves. The experiential structure of the workshop is a critical component of the work you’ll do, but we intentionally keep the groups small to help you acclimate. We’ll also start Day 1 getting to know each other and we’ll go by first-names only to protect your anonymity.

I HAVE LIVED WITH THIS TRAUMA FOR YEARS. HOW WILL THIS Workshop HELP ME IN JUST 3 DAYS?

Facilitated by one of our most experienced therapists, this intensive has been described by former participants as  “transformational”, “life changing”, and “the equivalent of months, maybe years of therapy received in three powerful days.”  It’s designed to specifically help you connect the dots and discover what’s holding you back and preventing you from enjoying loving, fulfilling, and healthy relationships today.
