Thank you so much, Debra, for coordinating this. Not an easy task! 😃
This coming week, March 22 – 26, right now I am available all day Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. The following week, Monday, March 29 I am available all day and Wednesday all day.
It will be good to know as soon as we can as my calendar can get squished! 🤣
Sending big hugs to each of you.
Bingo, Carly! YES! And we are going to explore these more in future modules. Keep those posts/ thoughts coming!
Michael, Thank you so much for posting this. I hadn’t seen it. A great way to think about it. You couldn’t know this, but we have a Ryzio Triangle that you’ll be getting in up coming modules. Â I always love seeing what’s out there!! Thanks!
Thank you, Carly, for posting this. Very accessible and quite interesting. I took the quiz and it’s quite simple.
Michael, thanks for your comments and desire for more discussion around this vital issue of attachment. I look forward to our special session.
Thank you, Dear Sara, for this important question! And Dominika, I love your response. Right on!
When I started this “work” I had no memories of my childhood. Like many, I shut down quite early. When I began my timeline, I took a big roll of newsprint paper, taped it to my dining room wall and began to fill in things as I remembered them. It was slow at first.
Like the taste of some food, or a particular trait (like you being left-handed, Dom) slowly small things appeared. I think we have to start with safe things… perhaps asking questions, like:
How did I get to school? Was there a teacher I liked?
Also, beginning with what you do remember, like, what was the highlight of your year last year (or hobby, or accomplishment, etc.)? When was the first time I did that? When might I have learned some of those skills (paying attention, physical skills, etc.) Who helped me with that? Follow these back to young adulthood. When did I first have the courage to XYZ…. ??
For me, time with my grandparents was safe. I began to recall things I did with them. Slowly memories would pop into my head and I’d write them down. For example, seeing the color red once reminded me of the time I planted bright red flowers with my grandfather. Once the smell of plastic (strangely enough!) reminded me of being held as a baby by my caregiver who wore a plastic apron!
Just be curious and open. Picking up a tiny leaf might lead you back to a tree that reminds you of a favorite hangout. Or finding a thread you might follow it back to a fabric woven long ago.
As you can see, this is not a one-time exercise but a process that we take with us to some interesting and valuable vistas, all held by our curiosity. I will be very curious what unfolds for each of you as you continue this process.
