8. What does this workshop offer that is so unique? New Directions takes a unique but really simple approach to helping people understand how their current decisions are influenced by your feelings and emotions – both past and present. In a controlled and safe environment, the instructors lead you and your group thru lecture, sharing and visualizations before embarking on the most incredibly life-changing exercise… the Statement of Direction. We’ll help you identify what events, feelings and behaviors are acting as barriers to your happiness and success. Students learn the wonder and purpose of each emotion, as well as to separate and utilize them effectively in day-to-day life and relationships. The key to our success is working with individuals to help them “break through” their barriers to emotional health and free expression. The magic of the Group works wonders on each participant. You will come away feeling more Connected, like you Belong -- Not Alone anymore – one of the most amazing feelings known to man.

10. Often events happen in our lives which we have no control over - As a child, as a young adult, and even as adults. Our future decisions can be influenced by these events.

13. Each of these are events that can have an affect on us long after the event has passed. They can influence our decisions about ourselves, our relationships, and our environment, and can keep us stuck in a cycle of pain, grief, fear, anger or rage.

14. To understand the behaviors that are contributing to our unhappiness, we must first examine the events that shaped them and the Meanings we put on these events… Dr. Phil calls them “Life Defining Events”

17. Until we figure out how we got from “ Event ” to “ Behavior ” we often have a difficult time changing those things that are not working for us and preventing us from achieving what we want from our lives. At the New Directions Workshop you will learn the T ools necessary to change troublesome behaviors by becoming aware of where they originated, and examining the feelings at the root of them.

18. Let’s see how it works. . .

21. “ Children are wonderful observers, but terrible interpreters. If they don't understand, they'll fill in the blanks, often in error...and they'll live based on these decisions and beliefs." ~ Doc Downing, LMFT Do you want to live your life based on feelings and decisions of a 5-year-old?

22. We’ve discussed so far how children interpret their environment and personalize events that take place. Now lets look at what Christine Felt as a result of these events and the Meanings she gave them. . .
