Self-Attunement, Lament & Developing Your iSight with Marlene Allen

Continuing this month's topic on attachment and attunement, we have with us today the Life Model Works Executive Director, Marlene Allen. So many of our clients and listeners ask how I can have joy in pain or return to joy when things seem hopeless. Isn't that like just being happy and faking it until you make it?
No!
Today, we talk about adversity, pain, and lament, and how they differ from complaining and venting, which are stuck in disgust or contempt. Lament is a release and offering, and complaining amplifies your pain and can blind you.
So join our discussion today to learn more about:

• Self-attunment

• Attunement to God and developing iSight, is Immanuel always with me?

• How does pain impact me?

• Lamenting vs Complaining
