Thriving, Not Just Surviving

dimanche 24 juin 2018 à 14:30–16:00 PDT
Redwood
Workshop Description

Gender transition can be a whirlwind of emotional experiences. Help yourself and your child (or other family member) come to a better understanding of their personal experiences by giving space and acceptance to the normal feelings of loss that accompany any significant life change. Gain concrete understandings of the source of our reactions and ways to gain emotional growth and resilience through difficulties, rather than getting lost in the trauma and fear. Learn how to help those you love (as well as yourself!) navigate the experience of major change and go towards thriving rather than just surviving.
