SURVIVAL FOR SINGLES

Actualizing Intimacy by Strengthening Independence and Redefining Self-Identity

• Do you feel pressured to "hurry up" and find a romantic relationship?

• Do you feel you have to sacrifice your sense of self to make intimacy work?

• Have you been in and out of relationships, never quite certain what went wrong?

Given popular culture's overwhelming emphasis on romance and sexuality, many singles feel conflicted about their self-identity, ambivalent about basic interpersonal desires and goals.  This presentation teaches singles to see beyond external social and cultural pressures, instead looking inward to examine basic personal and psychological issues.  The first step toward discovering and sustaining genuine intimacy, this presentation emphasizes, is getting to know oneself.  By redefining personal boundaries and refining life goals, participants learn to enjoy an enriched and more interpersonally "available" self.   

Knowing What You REALLY Want—Re-evaluate your interpersonal wants, wishes and goals with increased awareness of pervasive cultural pressures and unrealistic social models.

Recognizing Self-Defeating Relationship Patterns—Examine current and past significant relationships, both romantic and otherwise, for hidden, restrictive patterns of thinking, feeling and doing.  

Letting Go of Habitual Fears—Let go of limiting, self-conscious habits and irrational worries to strengthen self-identity and open to new levels of passion and intimacy.
