Lesson 1

Recognizing Emotional Loneliness Inside Of You

Today's objective is to help you recognize the emotional loneliness inside of you, understand its origins, and become aware of how it impacts your life. The theory for this section states that emotional loneliness often stems from a lack of emotional connection during one's formative years, especially if raised by emotionally unavailable parents. This loneliness can carry into adulthood, affecting relationships and emotional well-being.

Lesson 2

Recognizing Emotionally Unavailable Parents

Today's objective is to help you recognize the traits of emotionally unavailable parents and understand how their behavior can impact your emotional well-being. The theory for this section states that emotionally unavailable parents exhibit a range of emotional, mental, and behavioral traits that are interconnected. These traits often stem from their own upbringing and emotional limitations, affecting their ability to form deep emotional bonds with their own children.

Lesson 3

Identifying The Kind Of Parent You Grew Up With

Today's objective is to help you identify the specific type of emotionally unavailable parent you grew up with and understand how their behavior has shaped your emotional landscape. The theory for this session states that emotionally unavailable parents can be categorized into four main types. Each type has its unique brand of emotional insensitivity, but they all contribute to a child's emotional insecurity.

Lesson 4

Recognizing The Development Of Role Self

Today's objective is to help you recognize the development of your "role-self" as a coping mechanism in response to emotionally unavailable parenting. The theory for this session states that children with emotionally unavailable parents often develop a "role-self" as a way to capture some form of attention from their emotionally unavailable parents.

Lesson 5

Unearthing Your True Self

Today's objective is to guide you through the process of reconnecting with your authentic self, shedding the roles and personas you've adopted over the years. The theory for today's session is that emotional and psychological strain often serves as a catalyst for personal growth, pushing you to unearth your true self.

Lesson 6

Embracing The Freedom To Be Your Authentic Self

In the last session, we delved into the process of unearthing your true self, breaking down emotional barriers, and adopting new core beliefs. Today's objective is to empower you to live authentically, unburdened by roles and fantasies.

Lesson 7

How To Deal With Emotionally Unavailable Parents

Today's objective is to equip you with strategies for dealing with emotionally unavailable parents without sacrificing your emotional well-being. The theory for today's session is that maintaining a stance of detached observation can offer a sanctuary from the emotional chaos of families with emotionally unavailable parents.

Lesson 8

Identifying Emotionally Mature Individuals

Today's objective is to help you identify emotionally mature individuals who can genuinely enrich your life. The theory for today's session is that familiarity often leads us to emotionally unavailable individuals, but honing observational skills can break this cycle.

Lesson 9

Cultivating Healthy Relationship Habits

Today's objective is to refine your own emotional maturity for more genuine and mutually beneficial relationships. The theory for today's session is that refining your own emotional maturity can have a transformative impact on your relationships.

I really felt this was excellent, because many of us have been surrounded by family patterns of emotional immaturity. This clearly explains how to find a path forward from the conflicts and confusion this can create.

Thank you for your time and your expertise in creating this course ! The sessions resonated strongly with many childhood and adult experiences. I recognised many maladaptive relationships and patterns of behaviour in myself and others. The insights relating to the psychological impact on the child and the "self role" were particularly enlightening. I found the course validating and extremely helpful and I am very grateful. Blessings to you and yours my friend 🙏🏼🌼
