Course description
-
Have you, or the children, young people or adults you work with, ever struggled with making choices? Are there some choices that seem no problem; but others that seem to create real difficulties for you or for them. Are you sometimes baffled at what blocks you, or mystified why a particular person seems almost incapable of making healthy or positive choices for themselves?
-
This course addresses an issue that often gets lost – what’s actually going on when we make the choices, small and large, that shape our lives. We’ll look at how attachment patterns underpin our world view, including how we see the choices we face; at how trauma can affect the creation of those patterns as well as our approach to decision making at conscious and unconscious levels.
-
The course will also provide understanding of how choice-making fits into whatever action we need or want to take, how blocks occur, and how this too can be viewed through the lens of attachment awareness. Finally, the course will provide a range of strategies to help you support yourself or the children, young people and adults you work with to broaden and build the capacity to make better choices.
