Part II

Parents and Guardians, because we respect you...please note this series is for you and your children - ages 11 and over.We recommend you listen first, and then listen with them! If you missed Part I, take a listen.

Lessons Six - Nine!






When our children stumble and fall, what are they feeling and how can they begin again? How does forgiveness relate to their worth and making healthy decision?
          



Another Way introduces a healthy and hope-filled application of forgiveness -"for-giving" ourselves times to heal and make healthy decisions.

Another Way empowers young people as they discover the relationship between self-forgiveness, self-worth, and decision- making.









"By harming others, we harm ourselves" - What does this mean? Why is it important?







Another Way introduces a powerful concept - when we harm another person, we also harm ourselves and we diminish our worth.

Another Way engages young people in a process of taking ownership of their actions, behaviors, and attitudes towards others.










What do Chloe's Circles of Worth represent and how do they work?














What does Tyrell's Code of Conduct stand for and how does he apply it?













How do these tools empower Chloe and Tyrell to live their lives "Another Way"?


How can they empower young people?






Another Way guides young people through the principles in "Another Way" utilizing concrete tools and strategies, making the concepts "their own" and applying them to their lives.

Another Way provides a dynamic three-part process for young people to discover, define, and determine their worth and make decisions based on their worth and unique levels of readiness.








Once young people decide to live "Another Way", how can they stay strong against bullying, teasing, and being excluded for  not doing what everyone else is doing?  How can parents support them?                                    





Another Way provides a process for continual implementation and integration of the lessons in "Another Way", supporting young people as they live out what is important to them and standing strong against outside influences or pressures.

Another Way is an ongoing source for parents and guardians, providing communication tools, support activities, and parenting guidelines.

Forgiveness Does Not Heal Betrayal: Here's Why

Recently I gave a TED Talk - BETRAYAL: The Loss No One Is Talking About . At the beginning of  the talk I asked the audience two questions: "If you have ever felt betrayed, have you been told to give it time, to trust again, or to forgive? And if you tried any of those things, have you felt better....or bitter?" With over ten thousand hours in session as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with clients healing from betrayal, I've heard from hundreds of individuals who have wondered why they still are stuck in the pain of their betrayal injury, even after they have forgiven their betrayer/s.  Based on years of researching and analyzing betrayal and on my professional experience, I believe Forgiveness Does Not Heal Betrayal. Here's Why. Healing From Betrayal - Concept #1 Practicing forgiveness may release the hold the betrayer has on you. But it does not heal the betrayal wound. I want to acknowledge that practicing forgiveness holds deep meaning in

Recently, I finished reading  Tara Westover's powerful memoir, "Educated."  This blog is neither a review of her work or a critique of its content. It is about its offerings. I think one of the extraordinary gifts of "Educated" is Ms. Westover's willingness to share her story with raw and rarely revealed levels of vulnerability. I was completely taken by this book. Why?  Because "Educated" Reminds Us, Speaking Truth About Abuse Comes At A Cost. And, Tara Westover, chose to Speak It Anyway . Speaking Truth About Abuse Comes At A Cost Folks often question why victims don't speak up or why they don't speak up sooner about their abuse. Although there are many reasons for not doing so and individual circumstances vary greatly,   Tara Westover's memoir courageously unveils the costs of speaking truth about abuse and bravely unearths their painful consequences.  Let's explore three areas of cost: Being Shamed Being Shattered Bein

Inside "The Glass Castle," Parents Betray Their Children

"The Glass Castle" is a film based on the best-selling memoir by Jeanette Walls.  It is painful and powerful. It is heartwarming and heartbreaking. Jeanette Walls, despite being raised in a chaotic and negligent environment, broke free from the bonds of family dysfunction and built a life for herself as an accomplished journalist. Today's blog is not a review of the movie nor is it a commentary on how Jeanette's story has touched the hearts and souls of its readers and viewers. After seeing the movie, although I was moved by Jeanette's triumph over tragedy, I was reminded that it came at a cost. The message which resonated for me was... Inside "The Glass Castle," Parents Betray Their Children  Over the past ten years, I have written and spoken about "betrayal." It is a topic I am comfortable with and passionate about. When we think of "betrayal," our minds typically turn to issues of infidelity or other relationships in which
