Part 1: Catching Blind Spots
In Part 1 we will look at the development of relationship blind spots and how early childhood relationships can shape what we expect and how we behave in relationships. Informative worksheets that encourage the identification of relational coping strategies developed in response to stress, abuse and neglect.
Identify - See it more clearly!
Understand how early adaptations formed in response to childhood trauma replay in adult relationships. Through clear examples and neurobiological explanations, you can gain a nuanced understanding of why you are drawn to certain people and dynamics. Blind spots are linked to attraction patterns, emotional reactivity, dissociation, hypervigilance, people-pleasing, self-silencing, and remaining bonded to relationships that feel confusing, painful, or unfulfilling.
Part Two includes 33 comprehensive pages including an incredibly insightful worksheet to explore fight, flight, freeze and fawn coping strategies in adult relationships. Designed to help you connect past relational learning with present-day choices in a clear, embodied way.
