Overcoming Gossip, Bullying and Difficult People
Gossip and Bullying can cause stress and trauma for us all.
People who use these anxiety-binding mechanism can certainly be called difficult. Life gets complicated when they are present. From their point of view, they may consider us as the difficult one. And if we are seeking our own emotional maturity, we may ask a trusted neutral person, “What do you think might be difficult about getting along with me?” It is always valuable to look objectively at your side of the equation.
That would be a good question to dive into for your journaling or introspection practice. Please consider that suggested homework.
But for the moment, I want to focus on what makes people difficult. Please share your ideas about that. We can get a list going.
The people who have a lower level of emotional maturity live in a feeling world. And trauma therapists know they often have experienced trauma that has interfered with their growth and maturation. Thus, they are easily triggered by events that remind them of previous traumatic experiences. When triggered, emotions get in the way of reason and objectivity. They often behave in ways that other traumatized people behave. And sadly, they create more trauma for others.
In this workshop, your therapist Dana Terrell, LCSW will integrate a theory of emotional maturity (Bowen) with EMDR therapy. You will have the opportunity to heal 6 memories from your life that relate to gossip, or bullying, or difficult people. After each healing session, you will balance that with a skills session on the skills that can effectively respond to these immature behaviors on the parts of others.
Past workshop participants have been enthusiastic about learning these skills. They have grown in confidence when they have a “game plan.”
The standard fee for a two-day workshop would be $600, for 12 hours of therapy. If you Register by September 10, you can attend for just $400.

How to Stand Up for Yourself by Setting Healthy Boundaries
This Workshop is part of the Comprehensive Relationship Approach.
To stand up for ourselves requires being true to ourselves. It begins as a personal and private process. In this powerful Workshop you will introspect and explore in depth your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual strengths and weaknesses, habits, desires, and longings. Using the unique combination of EMDR and Bowen work Dana has developed, you will experience NEW ways of being and consciousness on all levels. Neurologically and emotionally, you will gain tools to mark and develop happier patterns and habits for the future. You will know yourself intimately, compassionately, and honestly. And as you grow, your new Self will radiate healing and harmony into your relationships.
Some people are surprised to hear that self-improvement is part of being true to yourself. But think of your car. If you learn that the struts are loose, the brakes are worn, or the power steering fluid is nearly empty, wouldn’t you want to take the necessary steps to deal with those weaknesses? Resolving these problems is a way to be true to the good functioning of your car. Don’t you deserve self-improvement steps even more than your car? Isn’t your best functioning even MORE vital to your well-being?
This Workshop will also activate your ability to be true to yourself when others resist you. You will learn how to stand up for yourself as you set good boundaries, clarify your opinions and ideas, and bring harmony into conflict. You will be prepared for the push-back that Murray Bowen predicted could happen when you do something strong.
This two-day workshop leads the way for four other workshops which will integrate EMDR therapy (healing from bad stress or trauma) with Bowen work (recovering from stressful relationship patterns). These two new modalities help participants learn the skills of emotional maturity. Emotionally mature people use these same skills to prevent or overcome anxiety, stress, and trauma when they have relationship conflict, emotional distance, confusion, and/or codependency. Skills you will find are fun and easy to learn!
