Weekly discussion groups: Oct 2010 - July 2011 will resume again next week, on Tuesday, October 5th in English and on Thursday, Oct. 7th in Spanish. These are discussion groups and not therapy groups. The format used is a 30-40 minute talk by myself about the week's subject, followed by Q&A and a group discussion.

You may join at any time, but need to commit to a minimum of six consecutive weeks. You will build on the information from each meeting and because you will be attending weekly, it will make it much easier to incorporate the information into your daily life.

OCTOBER SCHEDULE:

Oct. 5     Thoughts: Do They Control Your Life?
Oct. 12   Coming to Grips With Emotional Pain
Oct. 19   Unhealthy Boundaries: Are They Making Your Life Impossible?
Oct. 26   Freedom From Jealousy

Meetings take place in Guadalmina Alta.
Each group runs from 10 am to 11:30 am. Coffee, tea and water are available.

September – December 2010 Weekly Groups for Adolescents (11-17)

Emotional Intelligence & Life Skills For Kids

Emotional Intelligence and Life Skills tend to be subjects to which schools do not dedicate great amounts of class time, if any at all (often for purely logistical reasons). Research in the field of Developmental Psychology has consistently shown that the earlier a child assimilates certain skills, the easier it will be to manage his/her life in all life sectors: personal, academic, social, and professional.

Similarly, over the years in the broad cross-section my very international private practice offers me, I have found that many adults lack certain types of self-understanding as well as understanding or insight into the other (who could be the boss, the parent, the child or the spouse, even the friend), and this is the most frequent reason for their sessions with me. If they had received the benefit of learning some of these skills as children or adolescents, many of their problems would have been easier to surmount or might never have arisen.

Due to this, during the Fall Semester 2010 twelve weekly (depending on individual term holidays), 90-minute (I h 30) group meetings will be held for varying ages (11-17) after school. Subjects to be covered include:

• Who am I?

• Life Course Chart

• Body awareness, feeling awareness and the body/mind connection

• Self Awareness and psychological tools for understanding what you are experiencing

• Self respect, self worth, self esteem, self love

• Keeping healthy boundaries

• And many more (parents will be supplied with a full list upon registration)

Depending on interest, groups will be held Tuesdays or Thursdays, starting September 14th at 16:30 or 18:30. There is a one-time fee of 150 € per participant to be paid on the first day of attendance.

Similar groups will be offered to parents: morning groups (10:00 - 11:30) or evenings (19:30 – 21:00). If required, a lunch time group (bring your lunch in a bag) from 13:30 – 15:00 may be offered. Parents need to commit to six consecutive meetings at a cost of 15 € per meeting, with all six meetings to be paid on the first day of attendance.

For further questions, or to register, please contact me at info@advancedpersonaltherapy.com or 952 929 071, indicating whether the 16:30 or the 18:30 start time would suit your child’s schedule best, or if you wish to attend a group for parents.

September 25 (Saturday) Marbella

Life Focus, Intention, and Success:

Understanding the Law of Attraction and Applying it to Your Immediate Life

We’ve all seen The Secret, we’ve all been inundated with information about the Law of Attraction, and I hear people telling me over and over again: “But how do I apply this information? It just doesn’t work for me, because I have no idea how to make use of it.” This workshop aims at resolving precisely that dilemma. (60 €)

October 23 (Saturday) Marbella

Learning How to Tap: EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) & Your Health and Well-Being

Tapping has been around for about 20 years, and yet most people are only now beginning to hear about it. I’ve been using it for about a decade and in my private practice it has become a most helpful tool. EFT is an energy technique (it uses the energetic meridians to work on blockages in the body’s system) that has been used on just about everything: migraines, panic attacks, relationship pain, jealousy attacks, worry, fear, back-aches, etc. EFT is not hard to learn yourself, and in this workshop you will not only receive an introduction, but some real, hands-on training, as well as a manual to use at home. (Cost 60 € ).

November 20 (Saturday) Marbella

Using the Now Moment to Release Stress, Problems, and Anxiety

Who doesn’t have worries, problems, stress, and anxiety? Have you ever wished you could be more like the people who seem to know how to handle it all? Or perhaps you never realized they also had problems, because they didn’t appear to be strained or worried, until you understood that while they also have had difficulties, they seem to be able to cope better than most with the negative effects problems and worries create. One of the most competent/proficient ways of doing this yourself is by accessing the Now Moment. What happens there is quite spectacular. How to get there is the nucleus of this workshop, with both interactive and didactic methods. In other words, you will learn how to get to the Now Moment, how to use it in your benefit, and therefore, how to immediately improve the quality of your life. You will take with you knowledge to use every single day of your life in an ever-increasing spiral of freedom.

December 12 (Saturday) Marbella

Happiness: Develop your capacity for happiness. Raise your level of happiness.

See the quality of your life improve on a daily basis

Why is happiness frequently so elusive? It seems to slip through our fingertips and we spend most of our lives chasing it like an errant butterfly, or telling ourselves that we "just weren't meant to be happy". Or maybe we don't deserve to be happy. Or maybe so many other things with which our minds torture us. So what might happen if we knew how to change all of that? If we could just "learn" what to do in order to ensure that our lives would be full of satisfaction and contentment and enjoyment. Wouldn't that be worth a bit of effort? Imagine being in charge of your state of happiness or content every day of your life. This workshop provides you with tools to achieve that. More importantly, this workshop shows you how easily you can make these monumental changes in your life, in order to begin to feel the difference immediately. 60 €
