Ready to Reconnect

Description

Losing a child is one of the most difficult things for a parent to cope with, and when your child is making the choice to disengage or not to be a part of your life, it is extremely difficult to prevent the flood of emotions from overwhelming you.

It is common to feel helpless, ashamed, isolated, depressed and even angry. This program is designed to help you take back control of your emotions, get “unstuck”, and propel you forward to a place of understanding, compassion and empowerment. You will gain the knowledge to approach your child with the confidence and grace they currently desire and need from you.

Your child is rejecting you because they are caught in a loyalty bind and faced with the perceived obligation of having to parent your ex. They feel responsible for meeting your ex’s emotional needs. This is a huge responsibility for a child, when what they really need is a confident leader for a parent…not ANOTHER parent to care for.

The mindset shift you will experience in this course is truly transformational, resulting in an attitude that your child desperately seeks and will be drawn to. You will learn how to demonstrate balance and unconditional love, and confidently step back into your role as their parent.

You will receive 12 customized modules in which you will:

• Learn the ins-and-outs of grief and the grieving cycle with tools to move forward through the suffering and anger you are currently experiencing.
• Take a deep dive into your family dynamic so you can better understand your ex’s perspective, your child’s mind, and why your mindset may be hindering you from recovering a close bond with your child.
• Discover the importance of your frame of mind in reconnecting with your child and exercises to ensure a positive and growth mindset.
• Walk through a series of steps that build on each other to gradually and naturally shift your current mindset allowing you to draw your child into your life rather than push him/her away.
• Develop new skills to support your child on his/her journey to healing from the family trauma. If the trauma is trans-generational, so is the healing and that healing starts with you!
• Understand effective strategies for communicating with your child to draw him/her closer to you.
