Unwanted patterns of relating and behaving discovered during the sessions can then be shifted. Using both avenues of psychology and mindfulness allows patterns to shift more rapidly as cognitive work helps people to understand the issu …

I’d also strongly like to avoid this meetup being diluted by an unfocused lumping of various ‘New Age’ …
