Here's how you will REBUILD your life
The Rebuilding Seminar is divided into two 5 week sessions. The first 5 weeks are to process the relationship that you are grieving. The second five weeks are to learn about how to grow from the experience and understand how to not repeat the past.
The first 5 weeks
Sessions 1 to 5 focus on your healing and recovery from a committed relationship loss; whether through a divorce, break-up or death.

A practical overview of the process from fear to freedom. (See the Building Blocks). Understand that when a relationship ending occurs most of us feel overwhelmed and often devastated. We will spend most of the class time focusing on how to use our “power” by focusing on what we can change and learn in order to gain emotional strength, stability and resiliency.
Clarifying what behaviors work for us, and which behaviors are maladaptive. We will then highlight how to emphasize what works and how let go of what doesn’t.
Relationship ending involves many losses. With each loss, there is grief. In class three we will learn about healthy ways to deal with grief and loss.
Almost everyone dealing with relationship ending feels angry and some of us are infuriated. Anger is probably one of the least understood emotions. Understanding the underlying causes of anger, the varying degrees of intensity of anger, and how to express anger are the focus of week four.
Most of us have a variety of ways we hide and defend. One of the primary ways we do this is through the use of our “masks” – for example: The responsible one, the friendly one, the life of the party, the helpless one etc. The goal in week 5 is to identify which masks we tend to use and then learn how we can identify with our real or authentic self.
The second 5 weeks
Sessions 6 to 10 emphasize how to solidify and expand on the new “foundation” that was built in the first 5 weeks.

Most of us find that with relationship ending we have a low sense of self-worth. We deserve to feel positive and good about ourselves so n this class you’ll learn practical steps that will lead to increased, sustainable, high self-esteem.
Probably no topic has been written about and talked about more than Love. Most of us don’t have a true sense of what it means to love. Relationship ending is the result of the unraveling of love. We will learn how to be a loving person—especially to love ourselves.
The ending of a committed relationship is often fraught with resentment, blame and anger. In order to move on, to create a wonderful life, we need to let go. Letting go requires deliberate effort—a process we call forgiveness. Forgiveness is not well understood, and not frequently practiced. In this class, you learn how to let go and to be able to move forward.
In the midst of trying to cope with a troubled relationship and the pain of the ending, many of us lose sight of the fact that we have a purpose beyond the relationship. In the week 8, we will delve into a more complete understanding of how to live purposefully.
We all need friends in order to create a fulfilling life. We will focus on friendship and emotional intimacy as the foundation for all future relationships. The class offers a deeper understanding of how to build friendships and create more emotional intimacy.
