The Three Stages Of Developing Authority

Do you find yourself struggling with chronic stress or anxiety? Have you sought healing from past traumatic experiences, yet continue to feel emotionally trapped?

You could benefit from Developing Your Authority.

STAGE 1

Stabilization & Safety

The initial step in developing authority is to create individual and relational stability and safety. This includes emotional regulation, thought management, setting realistic goals, and crafting an action plan. Uncovering strengths is vital for reclaiming energy and improving interpersonal skills to cope with painful memories and reactions.

STAGE 2

Remembering & Mourning
The second phase of developing authority allows individuals to confront painful memories once they feel safe and secure. The goal is to redefine how painful memories influence life decisions and reshapes self-perception and perception of others. Grieving the loss of lost possibilities can be as deeply healing as reimagining new ones.

STAGE 3

Reconnection & Meaning

The third stage of developing authority focuses on reconnecting with others and engaging in meaningful activities. By letting go of the victim identity, individuals gain self-awareness, break unhealthy patterns, and live authentically in alignment with core values. Developing Your Authority is an interpersonal skill so you can live within your values and strengths.
