Description

We are in a time where accountability is being sought after on a micro and macro level. Whether accountability is desired from a parent, a partner, or a system, accountability can be as elusive as it is desired. What makes accountability so difficult? In a world where so many are working to stay above water due to trauma and the recent difficulties of the last few years, being asked to be accountable can be more than someone can tolerate. True accountability requires a level of self-reflection and vulnerability that is often buried under shame and self-defense. So, how do we begin to peel back the layers that allow clients, organizations, and systems to become more comfortable with themselves and owning their stuff? This presentation will provide an experiential journey through the barriers to accountability and how healing and self-love can break those barriers down.
