Decode, Deconstruct and Build Anew
|
Decode, Deconstruct and Build Anew I know that "the 'L' Word (I don't mean the HBO show about lesbians) is used less frequently on this site than "the 'F' word' but I want to talk about LOVE, particularly "Getting the Love You Want" (GLTYW). I attended the GLTYW workshop -- twice-- once with a Fuck Buddy and once with my 76-year-old dad. Guess which one produced better results? Yep. The workshop with the guy who just wasn't into me simply exposed how vulnerable I am to unavailable men so I went back to the source. Since the workshop is based on Imago Therapy, the idea that we choose romantic partners based on working out our Mommy/Daddy issues, exploring the process with the father, who is --in part-- responsible for my expectation that men will abandon me, produced much juicier fruit. (You can search for "Getting the Love You Want" Workshop to find out where one of the workshop for couples is offered near you or check out the book by Harville Hendrix from your local library.) My dad's friends expressed surprise that he was willing to dive into the unknown waters of this couple's workshop with me, his adult . But, my dad pointed to me and said, "I have a lot of<b> faith </font></b>in her ideas...so if she wanted to do it, I was IN!" (I make my living as a Life & Sex Coach and I'm an admitted workshop junkie. If there's a personal development workshop, it's likely I've tried it.) During GTLYW, my dad and I made a plan for how to have conversations with some depth, discussed how to keep me from overwhelming him with a Tsunami of words and generated ideas about joint future travel plans. The most significant outcome? My dad and I will help one another better understand the opposite gender. Since he and I are both dating with an eye toward finding fun companions for shared activities (besides sex), we can help one another understand the oft-confusing messages and contradictory signals we receive from those we date. If you're interested in engaging in a Beta Test of how to "Get the Love You Want" by working through the issues with your parents (even if they're no longer living), please feel free to contact me. (Email privately or leave a note here to ask me to get in touch with you.) From my experience, I assure you that this can be an incredibly healing process and, later, the prepackaged online version will be quite expensive. {=}{=}{=} BiPolyBabe69 aka Angie |

Ehhh...my old man was more of an expert in seeing that nobody got any love. That part about helping each other understand the opposite gender? That sounds very worthwhile. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.
