Finding Your Fangs, Keeping Your Heart; Sponsored by Friends2Follow
December 27th at 1pm EST, 7pm CET
Maybe you’re the type of person who is afraid of a raised voice, or believe that you have to keep everyone happy to feel safe, or that having your own needs and desires means that you are being a burden on someone else, or that you need to constantly set yourself on fire to keep other people warm. This workshop is for you.
Join Steven Mollura, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, for a workshop on how to stop people pleasing by understanding and meeting your needs for safety, connection, validation, and peace. This interactive learning experience will leave you better able to know what boundaries and expectations you have in relationships, how you want to give and receive affection, how to say no in an assertively and civily, and how lovingly detach from someone who is harmful to you.
