A live process work group for previous book study participants and readers of Your Resonant Self.
Participants will bring questions and blocks and we’ll discover how to apply the discoveries from relational neuroscience to our lives as we live them.
Sarah, I also wanted to tell you how your gentle accompaniment and healing presence made all the difference in the world when I was in the middle of the amygdala alarm that happened in the wake of realizing that the cyber-thieves had successfully escaped with more than six thousand dollars of my money. Your work with me not only calmed my nervous system in that session, but several weeks later when my stepdaughter said something about “gift cards,” she paused to say “Sorry, Deborah, I don’t want to trigger you.” I couldn’t figure out what it was she said that might have triggered me. Then I realized with amazement that it was the words “gift cards,” (which was how the thieves successfully got my money). Then I saw how complete the healing had actually been. There wasn’t living inside my body the after-effects of the very present trauma, just a few weeks before.
But there are many, many, MANY other insights (bodily, cognitive, emotional and spiritual) about my own life story that have come to me during the past year through your wonderful work–too many to name. I am connecting so many of the dots–like Hansel and Gretel following the bread crumbs to find their way HOME AGAIN.
This is so wonderful to hear Deborah! I am so grateful to have this opportunity to contribute in this way to you! I really appreciate you sharing the insights and healing you experienced. Beautiful!
Hugs, Sarah
I don’t know if participants regularly check these comments, but I want to add my voice to those who shared at the end of the last class. My computer failed suddenly during the shares and I was unable to re-connect before the class ended. I was very sad about this because I did not participate very much during the class and tend to feel invisible. I have known and worked with you, Sarah, for quite a few years (I’ve lost track of the dates), and am always drawn by your loving, wise. resonant and compassionate energy. I could also relate to Marlene’s share about the challenges to participating in a group. I am still deeply rooted in alarmed aloneness, even after many years of healing work. I think I have powerful contracts which keep me from freely expressing and contributing to a group process, I long to share and work, but so often I feel pressured from time restraints and then I dissociate and can’t find words quickly enough, or I’m overwhelmed with the complexity of my many layers of material and don’t know where to start. So my biggest reservation about being in the class was the brevity of the pieces of process work, though when watching others doing the work I could appreciate what can be done in a very short period of time! I definitely will continue to join these classes, if only to absorb the love and wisdom being shared by you and the other participants. And I do want my presence to be known, even when I am not actively participating.
Hi Miriam,
I am so incredibly touched by your care for everyone in the group and for yourself with this post. Needs met for care, openness, connection, truth, reflection, and more. I am grateful every time we cross paths in these courses and look forward to next time.
Warmly,
Jaya
