Healthy Relationships – Lynn Fraser Stillpoint

Healthy Relationships: Rare but Possible!

Sunday March 25, 11AM Eastern for 90 minutes http://zoom.us/j/645904638

Dr Kay Vogt is a clinical psychologist, a Living Inquiries Senior Facilitator and a specialist in family systems and relationships.

Cost $20 US. Free if you are a regular in daily practices.

Explore healthy relationships of all kinds – romantic, family, with ourselves. This workshop is back by popular demand after a fascinating exploration in February 2017. From 2014 to 2017, Kay and Lynn co-developed and ran a program for the Kiloby Center for Recovery to support families of people with addiction. They are excited to return to working together for this special workshop.

Elements of a healthy relationship include:

Both people are acting like adults: there is a bumper crop of immaturity and under-functioning
Both people are taking equal responsibility: is there a parent/child relationship in assigning tasks?
People take responsibility for their emotional reactions: we fear calling each other out because we want love, approval and appreciation and not conflict
We talk things out rather than acting things out: we manage our anxiety so that we can tolerate listening to challenging information that conflicts with our sense of reality and preferences
Decision making is fair including the needs of both people: staying engaged until we can get to a solution
Reality of each person equally honored: extreme is gaslighting, more common I am right, you are wrong
Personal work: under-emphasized in education and our culture; assumed we know how to relate
Anyone can initiate change: change in one person changes the system; takes courage

The workshop is free to regular participants in Lynn Fraser’s daily practices. Please email to register.

Healthy Relationships Rare but Possible

“Lynn is unwavering in her dedication and commitment to healing the nervous system using her unique blend of body-mind practices and insightful inquiry. She humbly exhibits extensive knowledge, understanding and wisdom related to trauma. What mostly calls me to work with her, however, is because I trust her. Over the past year during group and individual online sessions her warm and compassionate presence and supportive listening style has encouraged me to vulnerably risk continuing on the healing journey, build nervous system resilience and develop greater levels of joy in my life.” ~ Alyson Adashko Raskin, Ph.D, School Psychologist, Neurogenic Yoga and TRE (Tension and Trauma Release) provider, Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist, Life Coach https://nurturethenervoussystem.com/

“I realized during these practices that I cannot tolerate silence when with other people. I feel I have to start jabbering away to fill in the empty space. Upon meditating about this, what came up for me was when my parents were fighting (often) and yelling at each other, what followed was silence (sometimes for days and days) which as a child was very threatening to me. I have sat with this realization several times and come to the understanding that silence can be safe, comfortable and non-threatening. I totally enjoy listening to others conversations and have resisted the urge to fill in the silent spaces. I am learning so very much from our daily practices and your workshops. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate and thank you for your wise knowledge, honesty and the kindness and patience you show us.” W.
