A JOURNEY OF GROWTH: Connect with yourself and others
A Personal Development Group in Barcelona

This personal growth group is for you if you’re on a journey to explore more who you are and how you connect to the world around you. It’s a space for transformation: you bring your curiosity and your courage; we provide you with a safe and supportive environment to facilitate the process.

What is it all about?
This is a group that meets twice a month. Each meeting offers you the chance to take another step forward in your journey of personal growth and transformation. You will leave our meetings feeling more authentically connected to yourself and to the others you shared the time and space with.

We offer a space that is open to all and inclusive of all genders, sexualities, races, religions, bodies and other backgrounds or characteristics. What we ask of you is to come with an attitude of respect and openness and to be at least 18 years old.

We are Joan and Michael, two highly-experienced psychotherapists who have been accompanying people on their personal journeys of growth, both individually and in group settings, for many years. We are both somatic sexuality specialists and we incorporate a focus on the body and integration in our work. Joan was born in Valencia. He is a Gestalt therapist and a musician with a focus on developing personal expression through creativity. Michael, born in Malta, is a trauma specialist, coach and a published author in the field of personal growth.

We are both passionate about providing therapeutic experiences that help develop self-awareness in relationship with others through exploration, connection and integration.

We hope that you find our group to be a source of growth.

Thank you for joining and we look forward to getting to know you!

SAFETY, VULNERABILITY AND OUR QUEST FOR CONTROL
(Live online course - 2.5 hrs CPD)

• 8th June 2023
• 19:00-21:30 CET

How is your experience of control? How do you live out your vulnerability? If you want to know more yourself in relation to this and become more flexible in how you live them out, then this is the right course for you.

Being safe is crucial for our wellbeing. Often we revert to control to ensure that we’re safe, or we let go entirely and lose any containment for our vulnerability. But we can strike a balance where we feel safe and in control, while also letting go and being vulnerable. In this course we get to know more the experience of being vulnerable in a safe space. We also try to give ourselves the experience of a more open way of being, while always respecting our limits.

Come and join us for this online course and explore this topic with others who are on a similar journey to yourself!

This course is one out of a series of online courses aimed at helping you live better with yourself by getting to know yourself better and become more embodied in your personal growth. You can join any course at any time and in any order. It is, however, recommended that you first join us for the course “My body as anchor when dealing with stress”, as we offer some fundamental tools that can be useful for the other courses.

Letting go of one’s perception of oneself is not easy. As humans we are caught up in our need for permanence. We want to have a stable sense of identity, a stable understanding of ourselves. But being able to change implies letting go of how we know ourselves and being open to the flow of the new.

If you are seeking to get to know yourself more by opening yourself to change, feel free to get in touch and we’ll have an initial free conversation to discuss how I can be of help in your process.

OUR INNER CRITICAL VOICE & 'SHOULD' STATEMENTS
‘Living Better with Yourself’ Series – Course 5
• Online course (live)

+ Date: 25 May 2023
+ Time: 19:00-21:30 CET

How many times have you found yourself criticising yourself, using comments like: “That’s so stupid of me!” or similar? Have you found yourself thinking in terms of should statements, both in relation to yourself, others and life in general? Then this course might be a good step towards more freedom and wellbeing!

Most of us develop an inner critical voice that we carry along into our adulthood, a voice that puts us down, makes us smaller. It blocks us from the freedom to be ourselves. In this course we get to know these constraints and use different ways to loosen their grip on us.

Come and join us for this online course and explore this topic with others who are on a similar journey to yourself!

SHAME, GUILT AND OUR SHADOW SIDES
‘Living Better with Yourself’ Series – Course 4
• Online course (live)

+ Date: 11 May 2023
+ Time: 19:00-21:30 CET

Shame can be a very debilitating emotion that evades our grasp the moment we get hold of it. Guilt can be a burden we never let go of, a yoke that forever weighs us down. And we may find ourselves always covering up our shadow side even from ourselves and feel lost or judgemental when it rears its head. In this course we take the time to explore more these aspects and how we experience them. We also use some techniques to help us integrate these more difficult aspects of our experience in a compassionate way.

This is the right course for you if you would like to better understand and deal with two very strong emotions that we experience and that we are often uncomfortable with: fear and anger.
