Are You Ready for A Transformation?

Do you have an area of your life that you’ve been trying to move past for a while, but it seems to keep getting in your way? You probably don’t spend your day in deep thought about it, but you know it affects how you think, act, and react to things in your present-day life.

Everything from a bad breakup, to childhood experiences, to how you feel about your body, has the power to stop you from living a big, bold life. The side effect of these experiences shows up in you overthinking situations, feeling anxious, giving more than you get in relationships, not going all out for the things you want and questioning whether you’re good enough.

If your ready to do some real work on these issues this is this workshop is for you.

Here’s What The BackStory Method is All About

Your BackStory is all the past experiences and events in your life that left you feeling taken for granted, rejected, or not good enough. You convince yourself that you are over those experiences, but they find a way to creep into how you think, behave, and live.

Eventually, your BackStory turns into a  defense mechanism, a pattern of behavior you exhibit when placed in situations that consciously or subconsciously remind you of the past. Your BackStory is tricky and resistant to change because it believes it needs to hang around to protect you from getting hurt. It automatically takes over and makes you do things like; go into fight or flight mode, shut down, isolate yourself, overreact to situations, and overthink decisions and choices.

You will learn a step by step approach to put your BackStory behind you and live your best life.

The Workshop Process

The BackStory Breakthrough Method™ is infused with the principles from three empirically proven theories of change; including positive psychology, narrative therapy, and emotional intelligence. Each systematic step in the method carefully implements principals from these core proven change theories.

Core Principles

Your narrative drives your life outcome; change your narrative and your life will change.

Negative emotions are caused by what you reinforce in your brain, rewire how you process information and you will change how you feel and behave.

True change happens by believing first then doing, there is power in setting positive intentions. 

Step 1

The day will begin with a meditation exercise to help put you in the mindset and space to do a deep dive into your backstory. During this process, you will participate in a written, oral and emotional exercise geared at helping you identify and understand the root of your backstory

Step 2

Step 3
