Yearning vs. Resistance–Creating Internal Conflict

Each individual is driven by a profound inner yearning that defines her dream of life: the kind of person she wants to be, the way of life she hopes to live. What holds her back from fulfilling that dream? Forces of Resistance: weaknesses, wounds, limitations, flaws, as well as external opposition and obligations.

In this session, we will learn how to conceive, create, and develop these counteracting forces.
