Resilience and Romance: An Empowered, Values-Based Approach to Dating with Sydney Rose, LMSW

humhum and Trauma Informed Therapist, Sydney Rose are collaborating to bring you a course series that weaves together community, discussion, mindfulness and authentic connection as we explore how to align with our values, to create dating narratives that serve our growth, healing, and relationship aspirations.

Each of the 3 virtual sessions will be 90-minutes.

Through mindfulness, discourse, interactive discussions, group activities, and experiential exercises, participants will have the opportunities to increase awareness about how they show up, and what arises in their dating experience, and find more empowerment in dating.

The workshop will provide an intentional container to explore experiences and emotions related to dating. Through non-judgmental dialogue, we will uncover limiting beliefs and challenge the wounded narratives that hold us back from living in our full power.

What you’ll learn, and practice with:

• Discover an empowered reframe of rejection in dating

• Identify, and learn to live from your values

• Recognize the importance of self-care, self-worth, and self-reflection in building healthy and fulfilling relationships

• Navigate common points of suffering in dating with resilience

• Create an experience of safety within ourselves

We offer this course bundle with a sliding scale price point to meet you where you are. If pricing is a barrier to you joining, please email us, and we can explore a payment plan or partial scholarship.

Session 1: The Power of Presence: Cultivating Self-Intimacy with Mindfulness and Somatics

Date: July 20, 2023 Time: 7:30pm ET | 9:00 pm PT

In this session, we will focus mostly on the Self. We’ll explore the fundamental principles of mindfulness and somatic experiencing as they relate to our dating experiences. By examining the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how these aspects influence our dating experience.

Through a somatic approach, we will dive into the realm of embodied awareness, allowing us to feel and experience our emotions and sensations. We will bring awareness to our mental narratives, and explore how they impact how we show up in dating.

Session 2: From Fear to Freedom: Building Confidence and Security Within and With Others

Date: July 27, 2023 Time: 7:30pm ET | 9:00 pm PT

In Session 2, we will focus on relational dynamics. We will explore how to cultivate safety within our dating experiences. We will delve into our core needs, particularly in terms of value, safety, and power. By bringing awareness to the strategies we habitually employ, we can identify those that no longer serve us and explore new, empowered approaches.

During this session, we will learn how to recognize and communicate our boundaries effectively. By understanding power dynamics within relationships, we can navigate them with greater awareness and make conscious choices that align with our values and desires.

Session 3: From Pain to Power: Rewriting Our Love Stories With Agency and Vision

Date: August 3, 2023 Time: 7:30pm ET | 9:00 pm PT

In the final session of our workshop series, we will embark on a transformative journey of rewriting narratives, visualization, and empowerment. By revisiting our past experiences, we will rewrite the narratives to hold past experience with greater empowerment and choice and self-compassion.

Through various visualization exercises, we will visualize how we want to live into our relationships going forward. By exploring new possibilities and envisioning our desired outcomes, we can pave the way for a more empowered and fulfilling future with agency in our dating experience.
