SURVIVOR WORKSHOP:
Survivors is a four day workshop that investigates the origins of adult dysfunctional behaviors. In this revolutionary educational and experiential process, participants discover, identify and address those early childhood issues, which have inadvertently led to addictions, depression, eating disorders and painful relationships. The Survivors Workshop is about getting in touch with the feelings that follow any aspect of childhood that was somehow hurtful and resulted in grief and anguish in our adult lives. The Survivors Workshop is separated into three phases: Informational Phase- Participants learn about boundaries and how, as a child, boundaries may have been violated. Participants begin to understand the relationship between the child and the adult as perceived by the child. Debriefing Phase- Participants delve into the past and recollect childhood experiences and identify the (often painful) feelings that are asociated with those experiences. Experiential Phase- Hedy Tan, CADC, CSAT guides participants to re-experience childhood in a safe and nurturing environment. They will release painful emotions and begin to reclaim their rights and personal power. Thursday through Sunday 9:00a.m- 6:00p.m. or 1 day per week for 6 consecutive weeks - $1200. For schedules of dates, or to register, please call 312.335.1428 or email hedytan@aol.com. A $300 deposit will reserve your space.

SPEAKING SEMINARS:
The Meadow Institute presents a luncheon on Sex Addiction. November 8, 2002 Radisson Hotel & Suites, 160 E. Huron, Chicago, IL 60611 11:00am-1:00pm. Hosted by Hedy Tan, CADC, CSAT and Dr. Weitzner. A fine line exists in our society between what may be considered acceptable sexual behavior and what is sexually addictive or compulsive. The elements of sex addiction are the same as in any addiction: compulsion, continuation despite adverse consequences, and preoccupation or obsession. Hedy Tan will address women sex and love addicts, as well as the concepts of love addiction and love avoidance. John Weitzner will discuss male sex addiction: definition, causes, the addictive cycle, and levels and assessment of sex addiction.
