Expert: “Grief is Healthy And Has a Purpose”

Brice — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 03:16:02 +0000

Tom is an experienced counselor who has helped over 1000 victims in 9/11 in NYC recover from grief and trauma. He talks live with TCKs to share his wisdom.

“[Third Culture Kids] are the pioneers for what’s coming. What you’re experiencing today is the future.
The issues you have of loss of home are real imminent.”

Press “PLAY” below to listen to this short audio preview.

Key points:

* Pain often has a purpose. But when we get stuck in that, that’s when it becomes a problem. Grief is something we all have to go through in life.

* With TCKs, it’s not like you have a dead body or car wreck, the loss is invisible and colorless, you don’t have something to talk about with.

* People don’t understand the significant amount of loss particularly with some of the positive experiences that’s going on.

* It’s not anything what we enjoy to do, especially in cultures who are in denial and it’s something we avoid at all cost which causes the problems.

* The only way through it is through it.

In Tom Query’s 75-mins interview, you will:

Learn about Unresolved Grief and “Hidden” Losses

Discover How to Develop a Sense of Self Without Place

Learn About The Obstacles and Goals for Healthy Attachment

Why “Attachment is the Hardest Thing To Do”

Discover “Take-Away” Strategies and Helpful Suggestions… “The Only Way Through It Is Through It!”.

A Path To Choice: Interview with Kellie Poulin and Terry Kinnard

Brice — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 04:29:24 +0000

Are you ready to see the world through a totally different lens?

Join The TCK Academy for

A 75 minute interview on August 30 Kellie Poulin and Terry Kinnard of The Emergent Coach will discuss a process called Voice Dialogue. Voice Dialogue is a concept created by Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone that deals with bringing into our awareness the many parts or Selves that make up what we identify as our personality.

For TCK/CCK’s, Voice Dialogue offers a profound, non-judgmental, experiential tool to deal with the parts of you that have developed to help cope with having lived an internationally mobile or cross-cultural lifestyle while growing up.

This interview will NOT be just an interview! Kellie and Terry believe so much in what they do, they will conduct a Live Demonstration of how this process works!

In this demo, Terry and Kellie will be showing how the magic of this experiential tool can help you to embrace the gift of the parts of you that have been lost in the process of coping with constant moving, global exposure, grief and loss as well as issues of repatriation and fitting in.

Through this “language of consciousness” TCKs/CCKs can become acquainted with some of the Selves that potentially are part of your psychic make-up, as well as help to shed light on what might be blocked from your view.

” Apart of me feels/wants…”

After my phone session with our guest Kellie, I had so many light bulbs going off in my head, and was so amazed at the results, that I told my mom and all my friends about it!!

Brice Royer

Kellie and Terry will show you how this knowledge can:

· Shift your perspective

· Help you find ‘home’ inside

· Provide the ability to freely choose your path

You’ll learn…

How to attract more of what you want from life by not allowing the Selves that protected you in the past from becoming your “saboteurs” rather than your “supporters”.
Practical tools to support effective inner and interpersonal communication.
The power that comes from choosing your actions rather than reacting to old patterns of behavior.
How to honor your globally experienced parts and embrace them as an asset
How to find the parts of you that you lost along the journey of your life and see how they can support you now.

About The Emergent Coach

Terry and Kellie created The Emergent Coach as a way to bring together their 30+ years of experience in the field of life coaching, spiritual psychotherapy, consciousness awareness pursuits and in particular their work with the Voice Dialogue process.

Their mission is to share the work of Voice Dialogue with others, shift conscious focus through utilizing the work of The Monroe Institute sound products and help clients discover the rich internal resources that can provide guidance, solace and meaningful awareness to life events.

About Kellie:

Kellie Poulin is a Canadian citizen living as a permanent resident in the U.S. She was raised in a domestically nomadic family as her father was a bush pilot and moved seasonally for his work. As an adult, Kellie lived briefly in Barbados, Florida, Northern Ontario and Toronto, Canada and has for the past five years lived in Denver, Colorado. Her journeys have given her an understanding of what it is like to move from one culture to another, albeit domestically. Over the past 15 years, her experience and training in the process of Voice Dialogue has helped her navigate these and other significant life changes and taught her how to cope. She earned a degree in Transpersonal Psychology as well as Canadian certification in Spiritual (mind-body-spirit) Psychotherapy in 2000. In Canada, she was a teaching and counseling faculty member of Transformational Arts College where she studied. Today, she works with her partner, Terry, in building their business, The Emergent Coach.

About Terry:

Terry Kinnard is a U.S. citizen who spent time in the Navy on submarines and traveled the world. His exposure to other cultures through his first marriage to a Dutch citizen, his dedicated explorations of eastern spiritual traditions and his career as a corporate executive has given him a valuable perspective of what it means to live outside one’s home country as well as return to changes and the unfamiliar at home. For the past 10 years, Terry has utilized both his training as a Master leader Coach in the Debbie Ford work and his passion – Voice Dialogue as well as the consciousness work of The Monroe Institute to support clients to move out of places in which they are stuck and flow into their own inspired life.

In their relationship, Terry and Kellie use Voice Dialogue as the key to opening the door to loving, committed communication and joyful discovery of each other and self. For them, it is the vital process that has helped them grow and trustfully explore their life together. Send Your Feedback to TCK Academy.

“I am an experienced counselor/ therapist with a first hand knowledge of a wide variety of issues, problems and situations. I am excellent in communication, warm, relational, non-judgmental and direct. I work to hear the issues you are seeking help with. I do not use “psychobabble.” I focus on the “here and now” issues you bring and we will explore what has brought you to this place, what you can do and/or what you can be. When we first meet we will make sure I am the best type of therapist for your concern.

I focus on a person’s/couple’s strengths, not their weaknesses. I do not hesitate to be direct; however, I am welcoming and sensitive to diversity – particularly in faith and spiritual beliefs; race; sexuality; life history choices and family of origin experiences. I wish to create a safe place for you.

I bring a diverse set of skills and experience. I remember what it was like to first seek a counselor. You have to be very brave. I am very proud to work with the people I do. They are all seeking to be stronger and wiser in their living.”

TCK Academy’s Expert Interview Series

Brice — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:14:08 +0000

I hope that you are enjoying the TCK Academy Expert Interview Teleseminar Series, so far. It has been our absolute pleasure to pick the brains of some of the leading TCK/CCK experts and exciting new upcomers on a variety of topics to learn more about successfully navigating the internationally mobile lifestyle, as TCAs, ATCKs/ACCKs, teachers, parents, and counselors.

As you read the feedback and testimonials from TCK Academy, you will begin to see the benefits of attending these interviews. More importantly, you will know that being there with us is time well spent!

For example, Lori , a teacher in Tokyo praises, saying “worth waking up for at 5 AM!” The best part about attending these TCK Academy Teleseminars and classes, is that you not only actually get to hear our guests talk about their passions regarding this field and the work that they do to support this global community, you get to ask them your questions, discuss concerns and share stories – “Thank you so very much for making the surreal, real!”

…. And, if you have been on the calls or listened to the MP3 recordings, then you know that we have attempted to ask thought provoking questions, so that everyone can learn from these experts, and be able to take action with the answers that all the experts have provided. We believe that the questions that have been asked by our listeners clearly show the value and quality of these interviews.

In this series, we have covered (will cover) topics, such as:

1. How do I learn to recognize and develop fully the gifts I received from this TCK experience?

2. How can I make and maintain friendships with non-TCKs and TCKs?

3. How do I sort out who I am and where I belong when I can’t get past the feeling of belonging “everywhere and nowhere?”

4. How do I deal with the grief I still feel from long ago losses of country and friends?

5. How do I stop restlessness, and the cycles of separation and loss I continue to create for myself because I can’t seem to stay in one place more than 2-3 years?

6. How can I not forget and lose my past while moving towards the future?

7. How do I deal with the loneliness I sometimes feel, even when others are around?

For parents and families:

* Preserve your family’s mental health before, during and following relocation.

* Identify with our child’s emotions during a move.

* Survive the challenges of parenting while abroad.

* Maintain one’s co-parenting relationship in an overseas assignment.

* Navigate parenting abroad in an on-demand world.

…and so much more.
