We will work together to experience that situation through the following processes:
- Living in the Observation - Experiencing our world without judgment
- Self-Empathy - Connecting to our needs to gain clarity
- Enemy Images - Neutralizing our triggers to live fully in choice
- Mourning - Releasing our expectations and preferred strategies
