Addressing and Understanding Repression (Discussion Group)

This thread is for announcement purposes only. To discuss the call-in discussion groups about the recovery program, visit this thread, located in the Alan Gordon TMS Recovery Program subforum.

-----​

For the past couple weeks, we’ve been talking about how to generate self-compassion, by recognizing abusive behaviors and identifying where that abuse might come from. This week (Tuesday July 23rd), we’re going to start talking about repression. Using the skills and tools we’ve gained from previous steps in Alan’s program, we’ll be learning how to address repression of emotions such as sadness and anger, and looking at some ways we can identify the source of that repression. The two sections in Alan’s program we’ll use to guide us through this are sections 3.5 (Address Repression) and 3.6 (Identify Source of Repression).

As always, the actual discussion will start at 9pm Eastern Time (6pm Pacific Time), with an optional, very informal conversation 30 min or so beforehand. Quick connection details are as follows (for more in-depth info, visit go.tmswiki.org/connect):

• If you are connecting via telephone, dial 1 347 817 7654. When prompted, enter the meeting number 18311499 .
