AN EXAMPLE:
In one session, Ben shared his struggles with being the primary caregiver for his aging father. Despite a challenging past relationship, Ben found himself often burdened with the responsibility, feeling overwhelmed by his aging father's repetitive and self-centered conversations.
He had his own life changes, including a recent major weight loss surgery, and felt guilty about wanting time for himself to date and explore life while his father waited alone.
During the session, 'what ifs' from other participants prompted Ben to look at his situation from different angles. Suggestions like, 'What if you set boundaries with the time you spend with your father?' and 'What if your niece and nephew spent more time with him?' encouraged him to consider redistributing caregiving responsibilities.
A particularly resonant 'what if' was, 'What if you record your father's stories as a way to engage differently with him?' This idea led Ben to a powerful realization – maybe there was a business here, connecting his father with other fathers who also felt lonely and needed companionship.
The session became a turning point for Ben, helping him understand that while he couldn't change his father, he could shift from something happening to him to something happening for him to create from.
This realization brought a sense of relief and opened up new possibilities for managing his relationship with his father while balancing his own needs.
The same realization Ben encountered is what you can expect from our workshop.
