Online Program

Befriending Yourself – from Understanding to Actualisation

This is a 3 month program guiding you through a process of  deeply learning about yourself, accepting yourself,  developing skills to manage difficult feelings and focus on the life you would like to be living.  It is a hybrid program with online modules, group calls and individual sessions. It is designed to have you move from surviving to thriving.

The online program content consists of:

  • Understanding
    • Introducing different psychological theories to understand yourself better. This includes Attachment theory, Internal family systems theory, Polyvagal theory and more.
    • There are worksheets and exercises to deepen this understanding.
  • Self compassion
    • You will learn about shame and how to empathetically turn towards your own shame.
    • You will learn what self compassion is and what it is not.
    • There are different tools and practices to help you develop your compassionate self.
  • Self efficacy
    • From kindness towards yourself the program then moves into other tools to manage strong emotions. This includes tapping, meditation, movement, and breath work amongst others.
    • You will learn about boundaries and how to communicate your own boundaries as well as needs.
  • Self actualisation
    • There is an emphasis on your value system and how to live a life according to your own values.
    • Lastly there is a section on celebration and how to celebrate you.

Individual support

Alongside the online content there is an option for an individual support through weekly email contact and an individual session each month, with 4 in total including the intake session. These are 50 minute sessions and can take place online or face to face.

This has shown to increase adherence to the online content, it can make you feel like there is someone alongside you in this journey. There is a start and end point so you can know what to expect in this therapeutic journey which can feel more comfortable for some people.

For whom

I truly believe everyone can benefit from this process. However not everybody is ready. It does require a commitment and willingness to do the work, at times it can be confronting. It is for those people who want to thrive in life and feel like there is an invisible barrier holding them back from being their best versions of themselves. It is for those people who feel like they need healing, whatever that may mean for you.

When

You can start the program at anytime.
