2020 Salt Lake City UCAP Conference

Now that I’m on the path to healing, how do I find spaces of personal thriving, and bringing healthy patterns into my relationships? This class will help you recognize societal messages about self and relationships that could keep you stuck in unhealthy spaces in marital and other relationships. It will help you recognize common response patterns within addiction/betrayal trauma relationships, and potentially flawed belief systems. You will learn ways to shift into healthier patterns to avoid pitfalls that inhibit healing. Learn concrete recovery skills, such as detaching with love, and setting boundaries, that can provide hope and support for healing. This class will teach about the manipulation-boundaries continuum and how to avoid common boundary-making mistakes. Participants will also leave with a list of resources that will provide hope and support for continued healing.
