NAMING THE CHANGE:
|
"The times they are a changin!"
Returning home from her romantic honeymoon in Hawaii,
Courtney is setting up house with her wonderful new husband Jake.
It had all been so exciting before the wedding.
But now, as she faces the reality of unpacking boxes in a new home, she's feeling fearful and a little sad.
She's surprised, because this is what she has wanted for so long.
Ethan's company was really taking off during the pandemic, and he received the big promotion he'd been dreaming of.
With the raise, he and his wife can now afford to do the kitchen remodel they've always wanted.
Expecting to feel elated, he finds instead that he's spending so much more time working, and his old colleagues are treating him differently. They're not inviting him to drinks after work anymore and he's missing the cameraderie.
He should be so happy and proud of himself, but instead he feels lost. He's no longer one of the guys, and his wife is complaining that he's not available to her and the kids like he used to be. What had gone wrong?
Joanie had loved being a stay-at-home mom for her two kids when they were small.
When her part-time job went away because of COVID, she thought she would enjoy the extra time with her now-teenagers,
who were attending school virtually and could use some parental supervision.
Instead she finds herself snapping at the kids and resenting the time her husband spends away from home.
Was she not a good mom anymore? Why wasn't this working?
Each of these individuals are going through an identity change. Their life is moving forward, and their feelings haven't quite caught up. They're surprised and confused. It's really easy to second-guess the change at this point, to make oneself wrong somehow, or even a little unbalanced.
But what if everything's right? What if they didn't do anything wrong at all, they just haven't yet recognized they're going through a shift? How much easier could it be if they got the right guidance, right now?
Are you experiencing a change in your life right now?
Did you choose it, or did it happen TO you?
If it's a good change, like a new job you've always wanted, are there some secret regrets?
And if it's a change marked by loss, of a relationship or a certain lifestyle,
is it safe to acknowledge the part of you that actually feels relieved?
The truth is, changes are complicated.
So-called "good" changes can involve the loss of something,
and "bad" ones can bring new freedoms and discoveries.
No matter your circumstances, no matter how tumultuous it may feel right now,
it can be comforting to know that the process of change has predictable phases, and you will get through them.
Knowing the phases will help you to relax into the changes, whether you chose them or not.
It will help you see the bigger picture, to know you're not crazy--you're just in transition.
And there are specific tools and exercises for each phase that can help make this transition smoother, easier, and quicker.
If you know or suspect that you are in transition in some way, this 6-hour introduction to the Bridges Change Model will give you tips to make the move more easily. We'll share stories and let go of the isolation that can show up as we move into a new identity.
We'll practice the art of Self-Appreciation as a way of honoring the work of change.
ADVANCED LEARNING OPPORTUNITY: For those wanting a more in-depth understanding of their own process, there will be an added opportunity to explore your own design for change, as indicated in your own hands. In this next class we will look at your handprints using the Scientific Hand Analysis system, focusing on the Moon Zone of the hands for indicators of how YOU are built for change. We'll also incorporate more tools for self-regulation, and support each other inside and outside of class hours.
Information about this next class will be forthcoming.

Why am I Offering this Group?This topic calls to me because my life changed radically at 40. I had a third child, took in my in-laws when my Mather-in-law developed dementia, assumed all of her care, and remodeled the house, all at the same age my mother had been when she was diagnosed with cancer 17 years earlier. The shock waves of these life tsunamis rocked me to the core.
Who was I? Where was my wonderful life? How do I navigate all these roles I've taken on? It was a "crazy" time for me and my family, and at times I really thought I was losing it. I reached out for support, but it took a long time for me to come to terms with all those changes, even the good ones. I look back on that time now and laugh at my bulldozer beliefs--it was simply too much to push through. In the 15 years since, I've assembled a powerful tool kit that helps me with choppy waters. I'm also able to assist my clients with their own storms. Most of the magic in my tool kit is simple: Catch yourself in the crazy moments. Breathe. Slow down for a moment and look around. Tune in to what you want, what needs to be held. Then focus on those niggling, negative images and beliefs about yourself and the world and tap them away! Life gets brighter and lighter each and every time. Some of the resources I turned to traditional, like exercise and hormone support. And some were weird. Woo-woo. So I invite you to suspend judgment, just like I did. It can be hard to translate woo into real. For example, it's never been clear to me what a "spiritual teacher" actually does. I like practical solutions. But I've finally arrived at a somewhat solid explanation of what it is that I do as a coach, guide and healer: I help people move forward in their lives by thinking with their whole body. I am an Identity Transformation Specialist. This addresses more than just a job change or a relocation. Rather, it refers to the inner transformation that must take place in order for you to fully own the outer change, no matter what the circumstances. As with all of us, I've been through big changes in my life, some of them voluntary and some not. Each has had its own map, but there are commonalities that, once learned, have helped me to know that I'm not crazy, I'm just going through a crazy time. I'd like to share this wisdom with you. |
