SUMMARY:When Personal Power Feels Dangerous: Thought Leader Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Childhood trauma can disconnect us from our true nature. Growing up in challenging circumstances\, we develop survival strategies that separate us from our personal power—a disconnection that initially kept us safe but eventually becomes limiting. As adults\, though we no longer need these protective mechanisms\, we may still feel threatened by reclaiming our authentic power. \nRight Use of Power trainings are designed to help us become more Power-Conscious. Although the model that Sarah will be bringing to this Thought-Leader program is not part of the RUPI curriculum\, we expect it will support your becoming more Power-\nConscious and effective. \nThe NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) helped this month's guest reconnect with her personal power and overcome self-shame. NARM is a cutting-edge approach to healing attachment\, relational\, and developmental trauma by addressing the unconscious patterns that create lifelong psychobiological symptoms and relationship difficulties. These early patterns of disconnection profoundly impact our identity\, emotions\, physiology\, behavior\, and capacity for meaningful connection. Healing these patterns ultimately help us exercise our right use of power. \n  \nSarah Buino: \n \nSarah is trained as a Right Use of Power Facilitator and also serves as Chair of RUPI’s Mission Circle (Board of Directors). We are delighted to introduce her as our presenter this month. \nSarah Buino\, LCSW\, RDDP\, CADC\, NMT\, is a multi-talented therapist\, speaker\, educator\, consultant\, and visionary founder of the therapy practice Head/Heart Therapy\, Inc\, and business consulting organization Head/Heart Business Therapy. As an esteemed member of Loyola University Chicago’s adjunct faculty and dynamic podcast host\, Conversations With a Wounded Healer\, she passionately advocates for personal growth and collective action.
