After the most amazing conversation with Adena, I am stepping into a new future! Actually a New Present! It is no longer determined by the Length Flow Block I got from my family of origin that manifested in flow issues everywhere, especially in registration in my school and business: The Possibility that I’m inventing for myself and my life is the possibility of being Inspired, Abundant, and Unapologetic. I am declaring this possibility in every area of my life—as a Landmark coach, business owner, homeschooler, wife, parent, and friend. Furthermore, I am bringing this possibility into my school, home, finances, and all of my relationships. As I live into this possibility, I choose to show up with love, courage, and boldness. I am committed to being lovingly intrusive—to reaching out, asking questions, speaking up, and stepping in when I see an opportunity to make a difference. I will take a stand for what is possible for myself and others while creating connection, offering encouragement, and inviting people to see new possibilities for themselves. And for those who choose to partner with me as a leader, room captain, or host, I want you to know that this is who I am and who I am continuing to create myself to be. And together, we can inspire one another and have the courage to stand for what matters—openly, lovingly, and unapologetically. 🦞 (Why the Lobster? The Lobster is my picture of a lovingly intrusive, curious, playful, and unapologetic creature)

Hi everyone - I am Sean Snyder, I live in the United States, and I'm interested in learning about relational approaches for helping children be mentally healthy.

I had an experience with my girlfriend yesterday afternoon while we were in the car about to plan for a place to go out to eat. I had my phone ping mid-conversation, and it was a text message from my mom. And she took a one-second peek at the notification that was sent. Little did I know, this would immediately trigger her into deep frustration. She saw the little "😘" emoji, and didn't know the context of who sent it and why it was sent. Before ever deciding to dismiss her feelings, I wanted to hold space for her to share what was going deep within her. She vocalized about how traumatizing her past relationships were for her. She experienced manipulation, cheating, and affairs, which jaded her from seeing what an actual, healthy relationship looked like. So I let her voice her deep frustrations to me. She said she wasn't mad at me or upset with me, but she was upset with herself for allowing this to happen. But my response to her was that none of that was her fault. She put the blame on herself, but I removed that blame in the moment so that she wouldn't relive that shame. After that, I wanted to make sure this was a collaborative effort to ensure how I can continue to build trust with her, so that these triggers don't occur as frequently. I literally saw her go from crying and genuinely frustrated, to beaming with joy in 5 minutes from that interaction. And that was everything to me! This was put into practice the same day I consumed the Attunement classroom material, particularly "How to Share Anger in a Loving Way". This training can be applied across any domain. And it's truly simple! Thank you @Dr. Adena Blickstein for your service to families everywhere, and the resources you provide. It truly makes a difference!

Hi friends I’m SO excited to say that I shared the Day of Learning proposal with my son’s elementary school at the PTA meeting. We will be looking to get it approved and get the day scheduled. We discussed possibly a 2 hour time after school ends. This is a massive dream come true. Fingers crossed we get it approved and scheduled sooner than later!

I completed the Trainings TIARA, Family Mastery Academy, and Family Mastery Mastermind Takeaways. TIARA - Anger is part of our emotional guidance system. It is not bad or wrong, not to be invalidated or repressed, and it points to a desire or a need that is unfulfilled. - Attuned Anger Management is where you establish a safe space, share experiences, projections, align desires, and collaborate for solutions. So that everybody is seen, heard, and satisfied. - Solving problems for kids steals their Agency. I was raised in a family where my parents solved problems for several of my siblings and they are now having problems functioning in life. I am standing for healing in my family of origin. - What replaced connection for me when it wasn't available? I don't need them. I'll find my own things to do that inspire me. - The concept of Engagement quality. That Isolated Consumption deregulates and Relational Engagement regulates. - The concept of Askability. Being open and safe for kids to share anything. - Family Structures. Wondering what mine was. I think it was Stable and Dysfunctional. - And the amazing thought that when one person shifts, everybody shifts. I want to be that! for my family! Family Mastery Academy - The differences between the Attunement Model and DSM. That problems in people come from problems in the bonds in the family. - The idea that there is a relationship between child reactivity and the parent child relationship. - Behavior as a response to unattuned environments. How can I apply this to my school? - The idea that anywhere you apply Attunement there will be improved relationships. Family Mastery Mastermind - The idea of Attuned everything, attuned schools, attuned mental health, attuned prisons, where we are attuned to people. - The concept that a parentified structure lacks intimacy. I think I came from a parentified structure and that I had no awareness that I was in that structure. That I will need to disrupt the status quo. I am confronting that and ready to step into that. That is a blind spot for me.
