If you feel that your good deeds and accomplishments are not a reflection of your actual, less altruistic self, you are in good company. An estimated seventy percent of society reports feeling uncomfortable when praised for a good deed when they know that their hearts are not fully there. There is even a label for this experience: impostor syndrome. Many report a lack of motivation to make appropriate decisions simply because they feel that their good act will lack authenticity.
This session addresses this syndrome by guiding participants to discover that place of authenticity within themselves and to use their newfound awareness to introduce a significant and lasting shift in perspective.

Self-disappointment can be debilitating. Many of us are frustrated at repeated cycles of determined resolutions followed by abysmal failures to follow through or maintain. Others despair at the constant need to wrestle with prominent character flaws, such as pettiness, greed, thoughtlessness, lack of integrity, or spiritual insensitivity. The result is a destructive sense of inadequacy.
This session explores human nature to discover the dynamic that produces these seemingly unfortunate feelings in the first place. It then charts a course that empowers participants to maintain genuine optimism and positivity about themselves and their goals in life.

Guilt. Anti-guilt. Guilt-at-the-anti-guilt. We all slip, sometimes more than less. It is only natural and healthy to experience a measure of regret or guilt as a result. However, those emotions can become paralyzing and distressful. Simply ignoring the emotions will only backfire, greasing the path for repeating the original errors and experiencing even more devastating guilt. This session tackles the negativity associated with guilt, demonstrating a strategy to divert the energy created by guilt into a catalyst for positive change—empowering participants to take control of their guilt before it is able to take control of them.
-
Suffering. Crisis. Bereavement. While maintaining a happy and optimistic attitude is a wonderful goal, the sincere, burning flames of suffering and sadness can be incredibly difficult to douse. Well-meaning reminders that time heals or that G-d knows what is best do little to heal the searing pain of open wounds.
This session rises to the gallant challenge of sensitively enhancing our internal perspectives to allow the sun to shine despite the reality of our suffering. It succeeds to the extent that the suffering can even open the shades with its own hands.
