Many of us are less practised at three things than we realise: making requests, saying no when it isn't a full yes, and hearing no without something getting damaged.

Imagine asking for something without rehearsing it first. Or saying no, and the relationship being fine afterwards.

These aren't personality traits. They're capacities - and capacities can be built.

A lot of what shows up as anxiety, resentment or exhaustion has a simple root: deep down we don't feel able to care for ourselves in our own relationships.

This free 60-minute session introduces a practice called Restoring Choice. It's a direct focus on our ability to take care of our own needs, which is something most of us were quietly trained out of.

We'll cover:

The five capacities that make up the practice
Why our first instinct is often the most negative story available, and how to change that
The difference between what we say out loud and what runs underneath - and why the second one matters more
Where growth actually happens: the uncomfortable edge between "easy" and "impossible"

You'll leave with something you can use the same day.

What this isn't. This isn't a workshop you attend just to feel good. It's an introduction to a practice you'd do - daily, in writing, on your own life. If that appeals to you, this might be just the practice you've been looking for.

Afterwards I'll send you two short free guides: One on finding a practice buddy, and one on talking to the people you live with about the changes they might notice. They're written for the practice group, though they stand on their own - and they're yours either way.
