INVEST IN YOUR PERSONAL GROWTH AS A PARENT
This work requires a considerable amount of personal investment, introspection, and is only intended for individuals who are motivated for significant self growth and change. It is intensive and approaches many abstract constructs which can be difficult to intellectually understand and emotionally process.
The course requires that you understand and are choosing to approach your self and parenting from a self-help approach, with me as a mentor. This is not counseling, therapy, or traditional “life coaching” yet will require a certain mindset that is able and willing to look at difficult and sometimes painful aspects of yourself, your parents, your childhood, your parenting, and your child.
We will get into your personal identity and (potentially) aspects of your childhood parent/child relationship. Everyone’s Identity is constructed in a similar way, but with different scenarios creating individuality. The more you understand your relationship with your parents the more you understand your own personal identity. The more you understand yourself, the more you can approach people in new ways that are mutually beneficial. Lastly, the more you can understand yourself and your child the more you can approach them in new ways that begin to shift your child’s identity. The main point I want to convey here is that we will start by working on your relationship to your child, but will almost inevitably get more into your relationship with yourself and your parents which will help you adjust to and understand the new demands being placed on you by your child and why it seems difficult to meet those needs.
If your child is currently taking the course or coaching with me, and their parent(s) takes the course alongside them I would have access to both parent and child’s perspectives. This will help us pinpoint and hopefully resolve the dynamics much quicker and more effectively. The most effective option is if both parent and child are willing to sign release waivers and allow me to use the materials we come up with from both sides to plug into your coursework. If your child is unwilling or refuses to participate, we can still likely get to those same or similar concepts they uncovered by you going through the course together with me.
