Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships

Sat, May 23, 6:00 PM
From Columbus Improving Personal & Work Relationships
4.6

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Frequently asked questions

Meetup facilitates finding local groups that prepare individuals for citizenship. By joining these groups, you can participate in activities and events that offer valuable insights and community support as you prepare to become a citizen.

Search on Meetup by entering your location and 'citizenship prep' as a keyword. You'll discover local groups and events designed to help you get ready for your citizenship test and interview, providing guidance and a sense of community.

Yes, you're welcome to join multiple groups on Meetup. This allows you to participate in a variety of citizenship prep events and gain diverse perspectives from different organizers and fellow attendees, enhancing your learning experience.

Many Meetup groups offer sessions tailored for beginners. Check the group's descriptions and event details to find meetings focusing on introductory topics. This can be particularly beneficial if you're just starting your citizenship journey.

Some are free, while others may charge a fee for materials or venue. Each group or event organizer sets their pricing, so it's best to check the event details on Meetup to understand any potential costs involved.

RSVP through the event page on Meetup to confirm your attendance. This helps organizers plan effectively and ensures there’s enough space or materials for all participants. Look for the 'RSVP' button on the event details page.

Citizenship prep meetings often include discussions, practice tests, and guidance on citizenship exams and interviews. Attendees can collaborate in group activities and learn from others' experiences, building confidence for their citizenship process.

If local options are sparse, consider joining online citizenship prep events. Many groups hold online sessions, providing flexibility and access to resources globally, no matter your physical location.

Local group hosts and volunteers typically organize citizenship prep events. These organizers schedule events, invite speakers, and prepare materials to help participants succeed in their citizenship ambitions.

Meetup itself cannot guarantee test success, but it provides resources and community support, increasing your chances. Success ultimately depends on individual preparation and engagement in the learning process.

Not all citizenship prep groups on Meetup have legal advisors, as they vary in resources. Some may offer access to guest speakers or local experts. Verify with each group to understand what they offer in terms of professional support.

Yes, many Meetup groups offer online resources, especially those hosting virtual events. These might include digital handouts, online forums, and recorded sessions to aid your study, accessible through the group's event pages.

Frequency varies by group, with some meeting weekly, and others bi-weekly or monthly. Check individual group pages for their calendar. Consider joining multiple groups to access more frequent meetings if desired.

Meetup focuses on group activities rather than one-on-one tutoring. However, some events might offer opportunities to meet tutors or practitioners who can provide advice and follow-up discussions.

Some groups focus on language skills as part of citizenship prep, particularly English proficiency, which is integral to the test. Check group descriptions to find sessions that match your learning needs.
