Boundaries for Pathological Relationship Prevention
At the heart of what contributed to ending up in a pathological love relationship is the absence of healthy and consistent boundaries. From our research, every person in pathological relationships ended up there because of a lapse in boundaries or the absence of them to begin with. The first foundation of recovering is establishing boundaries.
- What are they?
- Are you selfish for having them?
- How to you have healthy boundaries without becoming a bully.
- How are boundary violators LOOKING FOR you because of your weak boundaries?
- Develop healthy boundaries with your family, friends, work and partners
- What kind of boundary violations do pathological use? Then how do they ‘up’ their violations from there?
Never be targeted again based on your lack of boundaries! A MUST WORKSHOP for every woman healing from pathological relationships. If you don’t have this, you won’t have healthy relationships. Enjoy the group process, journaling, role playing, and DVD training series as well! Taught by various Institute Faculty members.
How to Spot a Dangerous Partner
Dangerousness is not just violence — it’s getting involved with someone who has a permanent personality disorder with the inability to sustain change or develop insight.
- What are the EIGHT types of pathologicals?
- How can you learn to spot them?
- Why is pathology so destructive to normal people?
- What are the signs of a bad dating choice?
- What in your HISTORY has made you prone to selecting and be targeted by dangerous people?
Taught by our own Rachele M., a Life Coach & Trainer, you will come away with a clear understanding of pathology, dangerous partners, how to spot and how to leave! Sandra will lead the groups on Formation of Pathology in others.
Managing PTSD, Intrusive Thoughts and Cognitive Dissonance Symptoms
Our instructor will explain how painful intrusive thoughts, obsessions about him, the relationship, and cognitive dissonance all entrap women within cycles of conflictive thinking about her pathological mate. The number one complaint by women is the inability to control her intrusive and obsessive thoughts. She can often hold both thoughts of awe and dread simultaneously creating enormous anxiety for her. Other forms of treatment may be been ineffective in helping her stop thinking about him in loving and longing ways. She is trapped between reality and fantasy unable to free her self. This retreat will address methods that help to:
- Move beyond the pain of conflictive thinking
- Discover ways and methods to overcome intrusive, plaguing, and debilitative thoughts
- Develop Maintenance Program for mental soundness
- Learn Spiritual Insights for peace
