  • Open you to welcoming and loving the most disowned parts of yourself
  • Support you in addressing any shame and self-judgment
  • Give you skills to work with your super-ego/inner critic
  • Systematically upgrade the way you show up in your relationships:
  • Initiate courageous conversations with others
