I'm delighted to offer this 10-hour training because it unravels the mysteries of how our adult life stages evolve - and the emotional work we need to do in each one. Its insights are gleaned from more than 40 years of clinical research and 78 years of life experience.

Each session answers  many key life questions—about who you are, how you’re made, what motivates you, and how you can reduce your stress and create greater well-being and emotional satisfaction in all facets of your life.

You will also learn how others are made and what motivates them - in fact, you'll learn how to decode emotional needs and signals - your own as well as those from others.

Events that challenge our emotional lives are unavoidable (sorry!), every life has them. But how do you maintain a healthy emotional core to help you stay balanced and get through them without being defeated?

That’s what I’ve learned to do, as over the years I’ve either personally faced or helped my clients face just about every emotional life challenge: death of loved ones, job loss, emotional and physical abuse, abandonment, war stresses, depression, failure to meet personal goals, financial hardships, single parenting, physical illnesses … the list goes on.

After graduating from the University of Illinois College of Nursing and working in clinics and hospitals, I had the good fortune to meet Eric Berne, MD, psychiatrist and founder of Transactional Analysis.  T.A. is about what goes on between people. I was fascinated and incredulous that Eric was developing a way to make sense of relationships. I began studying TA with him in 1966, becoming the first nurse and the first woman to become a Clinical Transactional Analyst, and two years later, a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst (the highest rank).

Eric wanted to know how people develop scripts--life plans made in childhood and carried out outside of awareness in adulthood. I thought that first we had to understand how people develop, and then, how we develop scripts. That's how the stages of development common to us all became the focus of my life work.

As I shared what I was learning—first with my clients, then in workshops, lectures and later, giving professional trainings around the world—people everywhere affirmed the power of this material. In 1984, each member of the International Transactional Analysis Association from 72 countries voted that this work receive its prestigious Eric Berne Award. 

The insights revealed in these ten classes are the same ones people from all over the world continue to value and apply to their lives,  families and work.
