Why Should I Attend This Workshop?
In order to experience healing from past wounds—as well as grow and mature into who you were created to be—you have to understand your story.
You may have tried many things to find healing—books, conferences, prayer, even therapy—but there’s still something missing.
What if you engaged your story? What if understanding your past experiences in life—particularly in your family of origin—could help you make sense of why you think, feel, and act the way you do in the present?
There is a connection between the past and the present. The good news is that it is possible to make sense of your present life by understanding your past story.
By the end of this workshop, you will:
- understand why exploring your story is essential for healing and growth.
- make linkages between your present life and your past experiences in your family of origin.
- actually do work on your story (during the workshop you will complete two exercises designed to help you make sense of your story).
