Thriving: Beyond Surviving Incest

Thriving: Beyond Surviving Incest

Thriving is a course for people who have lived through sexual abuse/incest that teaches how to go beyond merely surviving to embrace thriving as a way of life. It is designed for people who have already been working with the issues of sexual abuse, and want to speed up the process of recovery and healing. Composed of four day-long monthly meetings plus a weekend, the course includes sharing our stories, building trust, creating personal rituals, psychodrama, meditation, experiencing healing energy work, integrative breathing, and participating in fun, stories, dancing, singing, and games.

 

A very safe and supportive atmosphere is maintained through out the course, where the hurt inner child/children can be recognized, heard, comforted, loved, and healed.

 

Prerequisite: discussion with the instructor.

 

Comments

"The spiritual aspect felt vital to me. Not only were our bodies and minds hurt, but our spirits were affected. This class felt like it cleansed and released my spirit."
     – class participant

 

"The Thriving Course helped me to find acceptance and healing within myself."
     – Nora Lynch

 

"My alternate children were apprehensive about going [to the course] but we felt safe quite soon, and it was helpful to meet other people like us."
     – A Multiple Personality

 

"The Thriving course gave me a space to heal certain aspects of my wounding in a way that one-on-one work did not. An extremely safe and supportive atmosphere was created by the members of the group. Our unfortunate common bond of surviving abuse helped create a powerful vehicle for healing and transformation."
     – Edward Sweeney

 

"Two of the most important lessons I've learned from the Thriving course are that the abuse was not my fault and there is nothing wrong with me. What an incredible gift — to know that I am okay; I am good."
     – S. B.
