The Deepening and Developing Connections Workshop

What is this workshop about?

Creating community - intentionally and quickly
- I’ve been talking about community and connection long before COVID-19 and I believe these topics are more important than ever
- The pandemic has given us an opportunity to be different, let go of ways of being that kept us isolated
Getting to know yourself, your values, and your vulnerabilities
Learning the intricacies of boundaries - how to make them and what a healthy balance is
- It’s not just about letting in people or shutting them out. Are you letting the RIGHT people in?
How to get to know humans. The real version of them. Practical guidance/ideas to help get you out of the mire that is “polite conversation”. We don’t make true friends in that place. Reducing assumptions and making conscious dedicated space to be in and work on the relationship
Conflict. Practical skills. Mental shift.
- Why are you in conflict?
- Conflict as a bid for connection
- Using conflict to grow and deepen the connection

This workshop includes

Lectures from my fake leather arm chair
Beautiful slides to help you follow along
Workbook that has more reflection exercises and homework than you will realistically do

Who is this workshop for?

People who are tired of doing things alone
People who wish they had more close friends
Those longing for community
People who have realized making connections as an adult is hard
Expats, and those in the foreign service and anyone who has chosen to or had to move a lot

This workshop has received a ton of positive feedback, which is why I digitized it so I can spread the word farther. It’s based on science and years of my professional experience as a psychologist. This workshop is the distillation of what I have found helpful during my work with hundreds of people over thousands of hours. Conversations I was having the most often and the ones that I saw created the greatest change.

It’s hard work but it’s the best thing you can do for yourself. For many of you this will be the boost you need to make some big changes. For others, you might need some more help to apply these concepts to your specific situation and that’s okay. We can do that - just get in touch.

I really do believe we can be our best selves when we are in community. I don’t know about you but the strong independent person narrative isn’t working for me anymore and it certainly isn’t working for my clients. I am my best, most inspired, aligned self when I am with my community. I love that feeling and I’d love to give you the tools you need to get to that place yourself.

If you’re still on the fence check out my blog and resources at my website drfae.com. If you like what I say there, you’ll love what I say in the workshop.
