Studies show that the happiest people are those who seek meaning as opposed to just pleasure. Yet, are we really asking ourselves the right questions about what would make our lives meaningful? Despite what we may think, much of the time we are not really seeking our own happiness at all. Many of us don’t know ourselves well enough to conceptualize what we actually want. Instead, without realizing it, we spend our time repeating patterns and filling prescriptions from our past that don’t serve us in the present. To varying degrees, we fail to differentiate ourselves, to separate from destructive outside influences and realize our unique value in the world.
In this Webinar, Dr. Lisa Firestone will explore the many ways people hold themselves back from being who they really are and living the life they truly desire. What drives a person’s self-limiting and self-destructive behavior? How can they overcome the inner critic that holds them back and keeps them from achieving their goals? This 90-minute presentation will explain an innovative, therapeutic model for differentiation, a four-step process that allows people to separate from the negative attitudes and harmful adaptations from their early life. Dr. Firestone will illustrate strategies people can implement that will help them to uncover and explore what lights them up. What gives their lives meaning and what actions can you plan to integrate these values into your life? In facing this process of self-discovery, participants will gain insights into the developmental forces that have hurt their self-esteem and led to unfavorable behavior patterns. They will learn to shed the baggage of their past and lead a life that is uniquely meaningful to them.
