Workshop VII

"Emotional Sobriety; The Integration of Inner Child, Critical Parent and Healthy Adult"

 

The three aspects of self; inner child, critical parent and healthy adult will be explored here; what they feel, look, and act like. This workshop is full of interactive fun so attendants get a ''feel'' for what each aspect looks and feels like in real life terms, making integration easier. Richard will give personal examples of mistakes and success in his integration process and ask for attendants to give their own examples as well. He will use film, interaction and a great handout to combine feelings and intellectual concepts to gain clarity
