Ready to Integrate Your Lost Parts and Reclaim Full Aliveness?
TRANSFORM YOUR ADAPTATIONS
Learn the Path for Profound Transformation
Come explore your shadow, how it works in relationships, and how we can integrate our missing selves in order to reclaim our full aliveness. This course is designed to go deeply into the ways your defenses and your character structure affect others. Another purpose is to grow your container so you can be big enough to hold all that life hands you and to help you rock between the joy and the sorrow of life.
In the role of therapist, we have a gift of distance. We care about the pain we see in others and we have the experience of being in the role of “the good parent.” We are rarely aware of the parts of yourself that reside in the shadow.
We try to accept our clients as they are. Although we can be challenged at times to accept specific traits or behaviors in our clients, it is much easier than accepting our partners, our children, our friends, and our colleagues. How bewildering it is to be loving, conscious, and empathic with clients and unconsciously mean-spirited to those we are closest! The parts of us that hide in the shadow and specifically in our role as therapist will deeply impact our personal relationships and at times painfully challenge our professional abilities.
Couples, individuals, and professionals in the Imago community are welcome to attend this course.

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Michelle Bohls.
I have been a self-professed Impostor, struggling with extreme self-doubt. After professional experiences I would often feel pretty solid at first, but over time my mind would slowly question my competency. "Was it good? Really? You probably could have done more." You get the idea. These doubts would eventually convince me that I was an Impostor. But I kept at it with Advanced Trainings - often taking them more than once! Characterological Growth was one of those that I did many times - individually and with my partner. Each time I would uncover more parts that directly related to my reactivity in relationships and that helped me stay grounded in my clinical work.
