Course Abstract:

Bullying. Do we really know what it is? Or how rampant bullying is in our world? Do we have any idea how much we have normalized bullying all over our earth? Do we know what we need to do to heal bullying?

Participants in this course will read and answer questions that help them explore more deeply the tragedy of bullying: from its roots deep within each of us, to the tragic consequences of not healing our “inner bully,” to the vast transformation that is possible when we explore and heal the bully within.

Through the text in this course, by psychotherapist and author Judith Barr, participants will learn about how truly pervasive bullying is in our society and our world; where bullying is truly rooted; why we can never seem to create sustainable outer solutions to bullying; the consequences of our fear of feeling – powerlessness in particular – and how that fear contributes to the epidemic of bullying; what we can do to help our children in the face of bullying; and how exploring our own “inner bully” can help us heal the painful epidemic of bullying in our world.

Taking this course will help therapists learn about bullying up close and personally through their own minds, hearts, and experiences . . .  an important way through which they develop more deeply their ability to help clients. Therapists who participate in this course will also learn ways to help their clients recognize, explore and heal their own inner bully. In addition, taking this course will help therapists learn how helping their clients dissolve their defenses and build the capacity to truly feel their own painful feelings – past and present – will help to heal bullying in not only their clients’ lives, but also in our communities and our world.

Course Objectives:

    1. Define bullying and give examples – in its many forms – of bullying in daily life and in current national and global events.
    2. Describe the cycle of bullying and how it passes from one generation to the next.
    3. Identify the link between bullying and the feeling of powerlessness.
    4. Explain how our fear of feelings contributes to bullying.
    5. Describe how healing your own relationship with power can help heal bullying in our world.
    6. Identify ways we can help our children when they are being bullied.
    7. Identify ways in which we can explore our own inner bully.

Course Abstract:

Participants in this course will read and answer questions about the true roots of violence in our lives and in our world – the roots that lie within. Through the text in this course, by psychotherapist and author Judith Barr, participants will learn about how violence in its many forms is normalized and rationalized by our society and by us individually; how the attempts to stop the violence in the outer world will never create sustainable solutions; how our own fear of our painful feelings – as well as our fear of others’ feelings – contributes to the escalating violence in our world; and how exploring our feelings about violent events can help us explore and heal the violent current in each of us…helping to heal violence in our world.

Therapists who participate in this course will learn about concepts such as escape hatches and their role in perpetuating the violence in our world. In addition, taking this course will help therapists learn how helping their clients recognize the roots of violence, dissolve their defenses and build the capacity to truly feel their own pain, past and present, will help to create lasting change in not only their clients’ lives, but also in our communities and our world.

Course Objectives:

    1. Define “escape hatch” and identify ways in which escape hatches feed violence.
    2. Explain what you can learn about yourself from reading about violence in our world and feeling and witnessing your reactions.
    3. List examples of how our childhood experiences could lead to violent events in our lives and in our world.
    4. Identify ways in which a parent may help a child build the capacity to feel painful feelings without acting out.
    5. List the consequences of our fear of painful feelings and how our lack of capacity to feel our feelings may lead to violent action.
    6. Name ways in which our modern communication systems enable us to normalize violence.
    7. Identify ways in which our individual wounding may affect our outer world…individually and communally.

Course Abstract:

Laypeople and professionals will read and answer questions about the inner root of people’s relationships with money to help them learn more deeply about their own relationships with money, and how those relationships affect our national and global economies. Through examples from current life events explored in the course, participants will recognize how their childhood experiences affect their emotions and behaviors related to money and to the economy in any time – from recession to prosperity. They will also begin to comprehend the impact that the individual’s relationship with money has on our world, and how healing one’s own individual relationship with money can help to heal the global relationship with money.

Financial professionals who take this course will also learn to assist their clients in these challenging economic times and will learn how their clients’ childhood experiences affect their emotions and behaviors related to money and to the recession.

In addition, therapists who take this course will learn to assist their clients in these challenging economic times – as well as in times of prosperity – and will learn how their clients’ childhood experiences affect their emotions and behaviors related to money and to the recession.

Course Objectives:

    1. Describe how the concept of regression is at play during these turbulent economic times.
    2. Identify four aspects of a child’s experience that contribute to current day recession anxiety.
    3. Identify three things that can happen if people do not find the root of their relationship with money.
    4. Give an example of the connection between our individual relationship with money and our communal relationship with money.
    5. Name what is being left out of the discussion about the recession.
    6. Describe the most “profitable” way to resolve our money difficulties.

Testimonials

Thank you Judith, for your home study course, A Recession Regression: Finding the Root of Our Relationships with Money!

Your content is far different from any “financial therapy” material I’ve learned from before.

I especially like the global perspective you take on how individual relationships with money have big impact. That and unintended consequences are things I’m very interested in.

Thanks for such great content!

I was struck by the simplicity and potency of the use of cash to quickly tap into core dynamics when I experienced Judith's "money work." It enabled the individual to become vulnerable and yet comfortable with sharing family of origin dynamics that many struggle for years to expose. The metaphorical use of money – an inherently essential and taken-for-granted instrument of our lives – seems to brush aside defenses to help normalize hidden feelings. Of course, it requires skillful guidance by an experienced and trained clinician to safely use this helpful tool that is certainly worth having in one’s toolbox.

Within the Financial Planning profession there has been growing recognition that a fundamental understanding of human psychology may be beneficial to our work. Our client's behaviors related to the money issues in their lives often stem from experiences in their youth, and the client may be unaware of how these long-embedded attitudes and expectations influence their current behaviors. These money forces may be powerful subconscious drivers, impacting decision making, comfort with money, self-definitions of success, ability to relate to risks, and ultimately the ability to live at peace with the myriad of money issues that life presents. While on my own journey studying these topics, I’ve had the pleasure of discovering Judith Barr and learning about her work and theories, which Judith has developed through her experience as a practicing psychotherapist working with many people exploring their own money relationships at a deep level. I encourage my professional financial planning colleagues to become familiar with Judith’s writings, and with the insights that she shares. Should you have the opportunity to meet Judith or to see her present, you will undoubtedly be pondering the ideas that she shares for weeks following. You may find that in your work serving clients, that you will gain new ways to understand some of the messages that clients relate to you, perhaps helping you better frame your conversations with clients in terms that may help them make wiser decisions, more in touch with their inner, less revealed motivations.

I have appreciated Judith Barr's work for years from the perspective of a reader. The depth of her writing gave an excellent introduction to what I might expect from her Money Work. Nonetheless, I was amazed by the deep revelation triggered by her gift of storytelling and profound listening. It is a rare and insightful healer who knows how to create sanctuary through conversation and guide a participant into new awareness...

Thank you again for your workshop. It was very enlightening and I enjoyed it. It's clear to me that you've found a very convenient way into the heart and mind - like a secret, moss-covered doorway in the side of a stone wall. What an excellent approach for understanding money behaviors/beliefs and how they are related to trauma and relationships.

Course Abstract:

Utilizing the medium of both educational and soul-touching stories, the text for this course explores a variety of potential abuses of power in therapeutic, healing arts, and spiritual contexts, and in public and private life, as well. With an emphasis on the concept that healing childhood wounds to the root heals the misuse of power on an individual and global scale, the text reveals the roots of the temptation to abuse our authority as professionals, the impact that abuse can have on our clients, and the healing that is possible. Chapters are divided into three sections: the first exposing the initial childhood trauma, the second exploring the consequences and healing of that trauma, and the third, entitled “Here And Now,” which contains questions designed to inspire the reader to search within for the roots of his/her own relationship with power.

Course Objectives:

    1. Identify how our relationship with power is formed, and how our own individual wounding affects the abuse of power in our world.
    2. Identify 5 ways in which power can be abused in the many areas of life.
    3. Identify 5 consequences, individually and globally, of our fear of “negative” emotions.
    4. Define how our childhood experience affects our own individual relationships with power.
    5. List 5 examples of how psychological concepts such as transference and early decisions can be utilized for healing.
    6. Identify how an individual’s healing can help heal the abuse of power in our world.
