SESSION 1, Pull Yourself Together, Find your tribe! 

The strongest and best leaders, the people who are most successful, have the right skills for the right job.  They know when to go it alone, and when to ask for help. They have skills in relationship building and knowing who is trust-worthy and who is not.  In this session, we will work on skill-building, accessing your own inner leader, and learning how to let go of what and who you don’t need!
When you learn and hone these skills, they apply to all areas of your life!

YOUR GUIDE:

I'm Linda Wilk, and like you, I struggled through family abuse and addiction and abusive relationships when I was young. My second abusive relationship broke up when I was 25 years old. I was using alcohol and drugs to cope. In my heart of hearts, I knew I was going nowhere. I'd given up college and my own life to help my fiancé get through school and the deal was that he would then help me. I struggled for two and a half years while he went back to finish his degree. I sensed things getting more distant, more demands of how I be, while he was more aloof. He was off every weekend with a buddy, motocross biking. Women were "not allowed". I was working long hours to pay the bills, as they were spending longer time away. They were involved in their fraternity and drinking more. To be honest, we all drank a lot.

One night I drove up to the frat to meet them, and my suspicions were met -- there were other girls with them. I was devastated. What was all the work and effort for? I was in love, but was he? It took over six months to get him out of my life, because I wasn't sure I wanted him out. Who would I be without him? One night I pushed him about all the issues until he slapped me. I screamed, I snapped, I fought back with all the anger I had been holding in. I needed that physical abuse to prove how bad it really was. All the emotional abuse, what my friends warned me about, wasn't enough. That slap made it real. I wanted out and I wanted my own life, even though I didn't know what that meant. The next morning, standing in the shower, I vowed there would be no more crying. I was going to get a life of my own, no matter what it took. This course is the steps I took, and what I found in my heart. I learned I can offer others what was given to me...if you want it, and if you are willing to do the work! 

My own life path led me to sobriety, to become a family therapist, pastoral counselor, and addiction counselor. I've learned to make healthy choices, find out who I am, and help others do the same. I found happiness, serenity, and met goals beyond my wildest dreams -- Who knows where your strength and life choices will lead you!
