Creating a Life With Other People · Session 9 of 12

Session 9 · The Past

Why this session

Things you have lived through become part of you, but part of a person is not the same as all of them — your past does not determine your destiny. Session 9 makes room for forgiveness, noticing automatic affirmations, understanding recovery, foundational healing steps, and healthier boundaries — without owing the room your story.

What you’ll explore in the room

These fuller pieces happen at the live workshop, with the group.

• Experience with a forgiveness practice
• Awareness of an automatic affirmation plus a more intentional one
• Space to consider recovery and the support you Session 9 need
• A personally appropriate way to care for yourself
• A boundary you can choose in your own words
• One personally appropriate next move

What you can do in the app

The app is a companion between gatherings. These practices are available there.

• Choose how you’d like to relate to one thing from your past — hold it lightly, forgive, set a boundary, just observe, or skip
• Write, in your own words, a gentler way to carry it
• Save it privately and revisit it anytime
