Head up to the secret beach area at the top of the island map and there will be a brand new boat that wasn't there before. And they’re easy to use on your own so you can keep experiencing changes after the course too.On the next real-life day, or immediately for the time travelers, there will be another announcement in Isabelle's daily news about a "suspicious-looking character". I recommend this course to anyone dealing with something inside that feels confusing and beyond reach or if they’re in a situation that makes it feel hard to move forward. When parts come up (which they have), I recognize them and use the skills I learned so I can be with them. Ann and Barbara gave me amazingly clear and ‘count-on-able’ tools that helped me have many deeply healing and often spiritual experiences. The worse it got, the worse I felt.Īt the Treasure Maps retreat, I got support being Self-in-Presence (a kind of gentle self-accepting state) and I noticed that I’d become deeply identified with some of my parts. Parts of me had totally taken over, a battle was raging inside that left me non-functional except basics. I ended up in bed sleeping or playing games into the wee hours trying to cope. I was physically getting sicker and sicker, had left my job, and could barely function. “ I came into this course desperate for help to be able to move forward.

" I came into this course desperate for help to be able to move forward. Wouldn’t it be great to really experience that? You can! But you are not your Tangle. You are a resourceful, resilient, flexible Self who can be in Presence with every aspect and part. You are not your Tangle – Inside a Tangle, it’s hard to access your full, aware, freely acting Self. All the Focusing in the world doesn’t help until you invite the missing player. Having a “map” lets you know what missing part to invite… so your inner work is effective and brings real change. When you can do this, you begin to get back your own life direction and your own resources.Įxiled parts play key roles – The key player in the Tangle may be an exiled part of you that you can’t feel or hear. Transformation and resolution come when you can be present to the stopped energy (and the pain of it) without falling in. There is some kind of trauma underneath – Underlying any Tangle is a “stoppage” of life forward energy – in other words, a trauma. But there is a way to shift outside of the Tangle so that new possibilities open up. Everything you try just keeps you even more stuck. Resolution is literally impossible at that level. Inside a Tangle, no road leads to freedom. But we found there is so much more to life than just not being addicted or not being depressed! That’s why we began to talk about finding a treasure map - because we found that the very places where life feels most painful and hard are the maps to more ease, flow, and connection… to fresh new possibilities that just weren’t there before. We found we had to share what we were discovering, raw as it was. But the questions that people asked us about their own problems and issues kept calling for answers out of our newest learnings. We thought our new discoveries could be kept to ourselves until we got a lot more sure about them. Somehow the urgency of it and the combination of our unique strengths resulted in our developing a new form of Focusing that did work to bring change in those most challenging, tangled life issues. We were both professional Focusing teachers… but years of Focusing (as we knew it then) had not helped us with our toughest issues – which seemed impossible to shift. It all started in 1994 when we happened to be confronted with our own most challenging life issues (addiction to alcohol and suicidal depression) just as we were about to teach three workshops together.
