Session Six

Your healing journey…

Overview: In this final session, we talk about how to overcome trauma and loss from the past, as well as various modalities to explore if a person feels stuck or in need of additional help. We discuss the importance of moving on from disempowering relationships, and how to create a new “story” for moving on in life in an empowering way. Finally, we review some main points from the series, and suggest ways to keep moving forward.

 

Key Points for Session Six:

1. Life involves a lot of stress, trauma, and loss. Sadness is a natural reaction to loss— and is only a problem if you get stuck in it in a repetitive or indulgent manner.2. Welcoming one’s feelings (instead of resisting them) helps them to move through you more quickly.
