Setting Healthy Boundaries
Thursday, November 14th
10:30am - 11:30am Pacific Time
Many Cypress workshops discuss the need to remove toxic situations from our lives, while seeking supportive and protected relationships instead. But not all toxic situations can be removed. So how do we create protection for ourselves and establish boundaries that support our health and well-being? This workshop will examine how to identify boundaries, how to set them in a caring way, the role of boundaries in healing and how to process someone’s reaction to them.
Grief and the Holidays
Wednesday, December 4th
11:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
When we have experienced a loss, the holidays or major life events can be a challenge. We have to adjust our expectations, think through how we process our emotions during this time, and even create new patterns of behavior moving forward. This training will think through why the holidays are difficult for grievers, and what measures might be taken to help navigate them while experiencing loss.
