What the Dysfunctional Family Recovery Coaching Program Covers | Mudrashram® Institute of Spiritual Studies

The Dysfunctional Family Recovery Coaching Program is designed to help you overcome the consequences of growing up in a family that did not provide you the love, nurturance, guidance, and support to allow you to become a fully functioning adult. Depending on the type of dysfunctional family you grew up in, you were neglected, abandoned, abused, molested, humiliated, shamed, make to feel unworthy. You have still not worked out these core wounds received at the hands of those who were supposed to care for you and guide you safely to the shores of adulthood.

You trusted them, and they betrayed you. You looked up to them, and they abused you. You yearned for their love, and they were cold and cruel. You relied on them for guidance in solving problems and handling the issues of life, and they could not solve their own problems. You looked to them for models of success, and they were failures in their lives and relationship.

The way out of this horror story you have lived is to deconstruct the patterns of dysfunction, and discover who you are again. We will do this one piece at a time, to allow you to remember, decompress, and take back, that which was stolen from you.

The course comprises 30 modules, each of which has study text, an assignment you will do, and a feedback sheet. You will send your assignments and feedback sheets to your coach in advance of your next coaching session. There is in addition, a full length, in-depth webinar on recovering from a dysfunctional family to augment your coaching sessions.

There are nine coaching sessions. You will schedule each session about 3 weeks apart. We”ve designed this course so you can complete it in 27 weeks.
