ACP/DiscoverU - Edmonton

Open to everyone. Respect required.
_________
Somewhere along the way, therapy stopped being a private healing tool…
and started becoming a badge of honor.
“I’m in therapy.”
“I’ve done the work.”
“My therapist says…”
________
In today’s culture, going to therapy can feel like proof that you’re self-aware, evolved, emotionally intelligent.
But here’s the real questions:
Is therapy helping us connect — or helping us feel superior?
Is it helping us grow, or helping us stay comfortable?
___________
Therapy language is everywhere:
“Boundaries.”
“Triggers.”
“Trauma.”
“Narcissist.”
“Gaslighting.”
___________
These words were meant to create awareness.
But what happens when awareness turns into identity?
When accountability gets replaced with diagnosis?
When discomfort gets labeled as abuse?
When personal responsibility gets outsourced to a professional opinion?
____________
This event is not anti-therapy.
It’s pro-growth.
__________
We’re going to explore:
• The difference between healing and self-justification
• When therapy empowers you — and when it enables you
• How “boundaries” can quietly become avoidance
• Why labeling others can block self-reflection
• The fine line between validation and victimhood
• How to use therapy tools without losing ownership of your life
__________________
This will be a respectful, honest, and thought-provoking conversation.
If you’ve ever wondered whether we’re becoming more emotionally intelligent — or just more emotionally fragile — this event is for you.
_____________
Come ready to think.
Come ready to challenge assumptions.
Come ready to grow.

You’ve probably heard the phrase:
“Women control access to sex.
Men control access to relationships.”
______________
It’s controversial.
It’s uncomfortable.
And it raises a powerful question:
Is this dynamic biological… cultural… or completely outdated?
______________________
In modern dating, we see patterns:
• Women often decide when sex happens.
• Men often decide when commitment happens.
• Both feel like the other holds the power.
________________________
So who really has control?
And what does “control” even mean?
___________________________
In this event, we’ll explore:
• Why sex and commitment feel like leverage in dating
• The difference between power and influence
• How fear shapes male and female strategies
• Why both genders feel disadvantaged
• The hidden cost of using intimacy as currency
• What secure, healthy dynamics actually look like
____________________________
This is not about blaming men.
This is not about blaming women.
This is about understanding the psychological dance happening beneath attraction.
______________
Because when intimacy becomes negotiation, nobody feels safe.
____________
If you’re dating, in a relationship, or trying to understand modern dynamics, this conversation will challenge assumptions and expose patterns most people never consciously examine.
________________
Come curious.
Come open.
Come ready to grow.
