The first workshop in the series offers an understanding of the core dilemma underlying adapting to failures in early social environment (e.g. abuse, neglect, chronic misattunement, abandonment etc.).

This workshop is about becoming aware, moment by moment, of what prevents us from being in touch with our body, our feelings, our vitality and our relationships with others.

In this workshop we will explore different ways how we disconnect from the basic human need to recognise and/or express our own feelings, needs and desires, and to receive care, love or nourishment.

In this workshop we will explore what prevents us from allowing a healthy dependence on others and allowing vulnerability to show our authentic selves, our weaknesses as well as our strengths.

In this workshop we will explore what is getting in the way for us to make our own choices and decisions, and asserting ourselves. Our caregivers may have been very strict, rigid, controlling, intrusive.

In this workshop we will explore what prevents us from opening up and loving more deeply. In our early environment we may have felt that we were not loved, or even lovable. We may be obsessed with being attractive or successful, with perfecting ourselves to feel accepted and loved.
