OCT 29 22 Parent2Thrive #3: Thriving Adulthood

In this workshop, the journey from childhood fragmentation to thriving adulthood is outlined. He describes how co-regulation, self-regulation, and building resilience can gradually transform traumatic experiences, culminating in genuine individuation and equanimity. The session details five major milestones—resilience, regulation, integration, individuation, and equanimity—while highlighting the importance of daily practices that help untether from childhood adversity. The concept of transcendence is introduced as a deep spiritual harmony that can arise once these elements of healing align, supporting a new sense of life purpose. Potential barriers, such as stigma or attachment to old narratives, are addressed and strategies to release them are offered. Through examples of personal transformation, the workshop provides a guiding framework for measuring progress, setting boundaries, and embodying authentic adulthood.

NOV 5 22 Parent2Thrive #3: Thriving Adulthood: Homework Session

This session brings together workshop participants and the presenter for an in-depth exploration of recovery challenges faced by adult children of dysfunctional families. The conversation begins by addressing a few lingering questions from previous sessions, spotlighting topics like emotional regulation, parenting approaches, and the role of therapeutic aids. From there, online-submitted questions broaden the scope to include methods for recognizing and healing long-held trauma patterns, distinguishing the inner child’s emotions from adult actions, and exploring emerging therapeutic tools. The workshop revisits important recovery ideas, such as “Crossing the Great Healing Divide” and attaching one’s “little red wagon” to healthier paradigms, demonstrating how these concepts can accelerate healing. Throughout the discussion, the importance of consistent co-regulation, boundary-setting, and reconnecting with a caring inner parent are emphasized as pivotal steps toward improved relationships and personal well-being. Ultimately, the Q&A format fosters practical insights and hopeful guidance for anyone navigating the journey from surviving childhood trauma to thriving in adulthood.
