THE MYTH OF SAFETY

THE MYTH OF SAFETY

Throughout history, the space between what we know for sure and what lies ahead has been called the "unknown" by wise people, mystics, and thinkers. When we feel like our safety is at stake, the thought of the unknown can bring about feelings of anxiety. For those who have experienced trauma or grew up in an unstable environment, the desire and effort to feel "normal" and to avoid the fear contained in uncertainty can be overwhelming. We will encapsulate our early childhood traumas to protect us from pain, to feel safe, and possibly to avoid "breakdown." We often develop harmful habits, construct barriers, fabricate stories, or rely on relationships for safety. To live a life free and unencumbered, we must confront our fears.

"The way out is through." Robert Frost

During this workshop, you will have the chance to delve into safety, certainty, and fear. Through constellations, small group exercises, and rituals, you will develop the ability to embrace uncertainty, understand what it means to feel safe, find balance in your life, and develop strategies to lead a more open and fulfilling life.
