"There is no greater challenge and no greater reward than to live your own life."

−Dr. Lisa Firestone
  • Are you living the life you were destined to live, or are you living according to negative programming from your past? This course can help you, as a therapist or an individual interested in your personal development, to learn to live free of prescribed identities and become the unique individual you have the potential to be.

    Lack of differentiation can destructively impact every area of people’s lives, from their romantic relationships to their career, from their personal goals to their parenting style. In this four-week eCourse, Dr. Lisa Firestone. co-author of The Self Under Siege, will introduce an innovative approach to differentiating from negative  familial and societal influences that prevent people from living a fulfilling life of personal meaning.

    In order for someone to be fully differentiated and true to themselves they must:

    Separate from the critical inner voices incorporated early in life

    Break self-soothing habit patterns adapted to help cope with emotional pain in their early environment

    Differentiate from destructive traits of their early caretakers

    Develop their own value system and live by it

    Drawing on findings from research in attachment and interpersonal neurobiology, and emotionally focused psychotherapy, Dr. Firestone will describe how early life experiences impact each person’s development. She will engage participants in learning how to help themselves or their clients differentiate from these internalized, negative influences. This transformative process will help people to uncover their real identity and lead the life they truly desire.
