Level I Overview:

Level I highlights awareness and understanding regarding the development of each individual’s personal growth and behavior as determined by his/her innate strengths, life experiences, family influences and environment.

Content:

• Emphasis is placed on Balance in Health – Physically, Emotionally, Intellectually and Spiritually, and in Relationships
• The “Bricks of Survival” are presented as each individual’s most basic needs – a foundation upon which all of one’s personal experiences and growth are based
• The “Circles of Intimacy, Responsibility and Impact” are introduced which provide a format for identifying priorities and boundaries in relationships and activities
• A “Trauma Egg” is created by each participant as a visual record of painful and difficult issues in their life

Each participant:

• Draws a representation of their pain
• Discusses their defense mechanisms as a child and as an adult and draws these defenses
• Discloses how they contribute to dysfunction in relationships; admits when they have moved from “victim to victimizer” – when they are aggressive and passive-aggressive, and draws these behaviors
• Focuses on their natural talents and abilities – on who they were designed to be
• Learns how to become a Healthy Balanced Person – a combination of Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Spiritual including natural talents and abilities – plus empathy, appropriate boundaries and the capacity for healthy relationships
• Begins to realize that one cannot experience intimacy with another person (or even God) until they are intimate with and know and understand themselves
