Awakening the Forgotten Self

Rediscover who you were before the world told you who to be. A full-day experiential workshop on healing self-abandonment and coming home to yourself.

Many of us learned to put our needs aside, stay quiet, or make ourselves small to keep the peace, be loved, or avoid conflict. This isn’t something we choose — it’s something we learn, especially in environments where love, stability, or safety felt conditional.

This workshop is designed to help you understand where these patterns came from, how they show up in your body and relationships today, and how to begin building a different relationship with yourself — one rooted in self-trust, internal safety, and steady self-respect.

This isn’t a day about “fixing” yourself. It’s a day about understanding yourself — gently, compassionately, and at your pace.

This Workshop Is For You If You…

Put others’ needs ahead of your own

Avoid expressing how you really feel to prevent conflict

Feel like you’ve lost parts of yourself over time

Struggle to know what you want, need, or prefer

Are exhausted from being “the strong one” for everyone else

Want to reconnect with yourself — but aren’t sure how to start

What We’ll Explore Together…

How self-abandonment forms as a survival strategy

What it looks like in the nervous system and the body

The difference between self-abandonment and codependency

How to recognize the early signs that you’re leaving yourself

Practical skills to stay with yourself in real-life situations

How to build safety inside yourself, slowly and consistently

You’ll also have the chance to engage in:

Guided reflection and journaling

Somatic (body-based) grounding practices

Gentle, structured small-group exercises

Supportive discussion with others who get it

You are always in choice. Sharing is optional. The pace is slow, steady, and emotionally safe.

What Makes This Day Different?

This is not a lecture. It’s not “tips and tools.” And it’s not surface-level self-care messaging.

This is a deep, experiential, relational healing environment — held with care, clinical grounding, and body awareness.

You’ll leave with:

A clearer understanding of why you disconnect from yourself

A felt sense of what it’s like to stay

One or two small, meaningful practices to continue at home

Not a transformation in one day — but the beginning of a new relationship with yourself.

A Final Note…

If you’ve spent years being who others needed you to be, know this: there is nothing wrong with you. Your system learned to survive. And now, it’s allowed to learn something new.

You don’t have to leave yourself to be loved.
