I've done 3 empowerment courses this year (4 with the one I am
currently doing) and I have learnt a lot from them.
Two done by a lady called Julie are amazing. She's a fun and bubbly
person and she's used the techniques herself, so she know's what she's
talking about.
Then I did a 3 week course with a woman called Sandra, who is my
facebook friend now. Her course is very similar to Julie's two
courses, but very good. It's like CBT in a beginner's format.
I found doing Julie's two courses first helped, as you start thinking
that you can be a more confident person, and then Sandra's course
tell's you how to tell your mind to stop putting you down and change
the way you think.
I don't know if that makes sense.
What I'm trying to say is that you have to BELIEVE you can change in
order to start to change.
Having the seed's sewn that I could start to love and accept myself,
and everything that happened, made me able to start to change.
And I have made a really good journey, which I will discuss on another
post later.
The new course I am doing is the first course I've attended run by a
man (Doug. I know him through my employment course and through my
volunteering) and it's kind of like the last piece of a jigsaw.
Doug's course is filling in the bits that weren't covered entirely in
Sandra or Julie's courses, and it's probably the last empowerment
course I will attend for a while, as I've done them all.
Famous last words. I'll probably sign up for another one next week lol.
But it's interesting as well that I'm seeing thing's from a man's
point of view, as the other empowerment courses were run by women, and
I am attending out of curiosity to see what is different from the
women, in the way of what matter's confidence wise.
I'm waffling, I know. I just think that it's interesting to see how
men and women see confidence as different thing's. The man's main
point of view is to have a healthy body, and to exercise, where as the
women's main point's of view were to take time for yourself.
My new empowerment course is great. I'm learning new stuff, and
refreshing old stuff, and I'm enjoying it.
I know I waffled about nothing, and probably made no sense, and I
apologize for that.
I'd love to run an empowerment group. It must be satisfying to give
people the tool's to have a better life. I'd love it.
And, after all, I've attended plenty. I've done lots of research.
