ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS
We were born lovable, and ready to love and be loved. And yet so often the events of our lives lead us to feel unlovable, and to find it difficult to truly love ourselves.
Do you treat yourself with the same loving kindness that any living creature deserves? Or do you judge yourself by a harsher standard, convinced that you are not smart enough, not attractive enough, not good enough to be lovable?
Not feeling lovable, and not loving ourselves, stems from early attachment wounds. At some deep, basic level we believe: "If this person didn't love me enough to bond with me, it must be that something is wrong with me."
In this Master Class with Dr. Ann Weiser Cornell, we will apply the somatic practice of Inner Relationship Focusing to resolving the blocks to loving ourselves unconditionally. We will learn to form a healing connection with the part that feels unlovable, as well as to the inner critic that is trying to blame and shame it into being "good enough." We will learn methods to enable our clients to take this same journey, from feeling unlovable to being able to fully receive love.
