Emotional Development 101

 

 

 

These 10 weekly online classes are about growing a more
healthy, satifsying personal emotional life 
and to empower those who assist others to do so through their relationships
as friends, partners, parents, grandparents, teachers,
counselors or therapists.

Designed and taught by Pamela Levin,
Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst Emeritus,
presenting the material that won the Eric Berne Award.


Discover how to thrive in every stage of your adulthood, and how to support your kids and grandkids in their life stages.

It's true - As an adult, you have stages of development too!

 In fact, learning how to
navigate these fundamental
growth and development stages
successfully

is the foundation for every other success in adult life.

Yet, if someone asked you,
"What are the stages of adult growth and development?"
would you even be able to name one of them,
let alone list the growth tasks you need to carry out?

It's not surprising if you can't - because it's likely
no one taught you... until
now.

The answers to these questions and much more are ready for you
to discover in these
10 one-hour streaming audio classes.

Your classes begin as soon as you register

You will learn...

  • What the stages of your adult life are - and those of every other adult too;
  • What stage you're in right now, and what tasks you need to
    carry out to thrive;
  • Which aspects of adult stages of development are the same as
    those of childhood and which need to be different;
  • What the unique rules are that govern how your emotional brain operates
    and how you can work with each one;
     
  • Which patterns of relating are emotionally nourishing and sustaining and
    which are toxic;
      
  • What your "emotional DNA” code is, and how its instructions direct
    your life - even though you're likely not aware of them;
     
  • Which parts of your emotional life are due to “nature”, which you need to
    “nurture” and how you can accomplish that;
  • How to recognize when you need to relate in a “joining with” way and
    when you need to create boundaries;
  • How you can raise emotionally intelligent children;
  • How you can raise your EQ (emotional intelligence).

Here are some benefits others have reported after learning this material:

*I feel better about myself,

*My stress is reduced and my feeling of inner security is increased;

*My emotional satisfaction is much higher on a daily basis; 

*My relationships are better;

*I keep better emotional balance; 

*I have become a better parent, both to myself, and to my children and grandchildren; 

*My emotional health has received a major boost;

*My emotional life skills are vastly improved; 

*I understand my own needs and motivations and also those of others;

*I have found the power to create the emotional life I have always wanted. 

And, because there can be so many levels of learning involved, completion of the class
gives you the right to repeat the class at no charge as many times as you want
for as long as the class is offered
!

How it Works

As soon as you register, you’ll receive your confirmation email so you can start your first class right away and start creating a better emotional life right now. Then one week later, and for the next nine weeks, you'll receive access to your next lesson along with the next class study guide plus bonus supplemental messages to support your learning.

That means you are learning about your emotional life from the comfort and privacy of your own home or office, or wherever you access it on your mobile device. And, you're learning at a pace that allows you to consider and integrate the material before the next class. And, you receive this empowering and indispensible information free of travel expenses. You save time, save money, prevent hassle and learn in a way that’s accessible and convenient, in the environment in which you choose to access it.

(Note: if you are currently in Advanced Transactional Analysis Training  you can apply your certificate for 10 hours’ training credit). You can also get this certificate if you would like it for any other reason.

Pam gathers your questions throughout the classes and answers relevant ones during the classes themselves or in the support materials. (After you register, you’ll receive an email telling you where to send yours.) Please do send them when you have them and also, please do ask as many questions as you need to understand the material.

Free Study Guide

Prior to each class, a Study Guide is available for you to print out and use to take notes.

And you won't have to worry about broadcast times being problematic for your schedule or time zone, because you can pick any time within the week  to listen. However, it’s recommended that you listen as soon as possible after each class becomes available to you so you have maximum time to digest the information before the next class - and listen again if you like.

What to do if you miss a class:
Simply listen to the replay on your computer or mobile device within the week. What could be easier! However if you have to miss a class there is an opportunity at the end to access classes you might have missed (see about your graduation gift below.)

Designed to Support You Emotionally… Even As You Learn about Emotions!

This class is all about emotional well-being, including how you experience it: That's why, every class ends with a brief, guided experiential exercise in which you sit back and feed your emotional self that helps you integrate the material even as you're learning about it.

"Thank you very much dear Pam for those 10 lessons full of new insights and feelings...

 

I felt each week very grateful for your nourishing affirmations at the end of the sessions which made me feel relaxed, important, having a place on earth and having the permission to need, feel and be happy about myself.

 

I'll go on exploring the learnings and will celebrate this transition with those new permissions."

Note: Even if you've read The Cycle of Life or Cycles of Power, these classes will allow you to delve much deeper into the material than you can just by reading, and you’ll have a better opportunity to digest and integrate it.

How much does it cost?

You're probably wondering how to pay for this course..

As you know, to attend a course like this, a full 10 hours, and taught by the expert who discovered it, could easily cost well over $500 just to register. Then you'd have to add several hundred dollars more for travel, lodging, meals—not to mention the time out of your daily schedule and the hassle of making travel arrangements, etc.

But this course won't cost you well over $500 plus all those extra expenses plus your time and energy.

This 10-week course (Ten One-Hour Trainings) costs $247. And your certification, should you desire it, is an additional $30.

This is a small fraction of what you'd pay for a live event. When you compare the value of what you're getting to what you're paying, it's clear that this is very affordable.

"What a wonderful course. . .

I could never equate money to what you've given us...  already my life has been enriched. . . I feel very privileged 
to have been on this course and will thoroughly recommend
it to everyone I know."

— 2nd year Transactional Analysis student, UK
