25.01.2022 This is an extraordinary article written by a woman who left religious life and has experienced trauma. Grief to Grace provides a safe place in which to address and release the anger and shame that can come from this experience, and from any other types of trauma that compromise the spiritual life and your relationship with God.

23.01.2022 How are you managing your feelings today?

21.01.2022 "Some outpourings of the Holy Spirit illuminate and reveal, some strip and impoverish, and some confirm and fortify. All three kinds are necessary: the first to give birth to faith, the second to teach us hope, and the third to give us the courage to love." | Fr. JacquesPhillipe

20.01.2022 This is a very wise post! At first it's confronting, because it seems to be asking the impossible. But actually, there's a big middle ground between ignoring your feelings (which are trying to help you out), and letting them rule your life. People with PTSD often struggle with emotional regulation, but it's something that most of us can learn over time, with help and support and healing.

20.01.2022 Repost from @sharonyutherapy If in the past, conflict meant you are wrong, you are left alone, dismissed, it was never to be brought up again... it makes sens...e you'd assume conflicts are deeply severing to relationships. Slight disagreements may feel like the beginning of the end. When you're left to yourself, you might assume it's about you - you're at fault, it's on you, believing that if only you were better, none of this would happen. Pace yourself. Don't be quick to judge your feelings and behaviors. They are probably there because they've served a purpose to keep you safe. Take time to be curious about your assumptions. Journal. Start with little experiments where instead of rushing to please or fix, let things stay a bit, and hold on a little longer to your epiphanies from before. What have you learned about conflicts growing up? What does it mean to have conflicts in relationships?

18.01.2022 "The possibility of authentic love begins with reverence. Reverence is different than respect, and it's very different from tolerance. Reverence allows one to s...ee another human person as God sees him or her, to pause with awe in the presence of such a unique gift. This pause is what allows love in."

18.01.2022 The next Grief to Grace program will be held from 20-25 October this year. Intake will close in May. For more information, please email [email protected] or leave a message on 0413 593 059, or visit our website.

17.01.2022 What's happening to the planned Grief to Grace October retreat due to the coronavirus? Not much at the moment - we're waiting and seeing, and are cautiously optimistic. It will depend on travel bans being lifted in good time so that our international team members can join us. It will also depend on whether the retreat centre we use has to close temporarily for any reason. Meanwhile, the intake deadline has been extended to 1 August!

16.01.2022 This virtual event gives you an opportunity to hear from Theresa Burke about the Grief to Grace program.

14.01.2022 Im a HUGE believer in attachment theory and Ive taken several of Silvys courses. What better time to take inventory of our own attachment styles then during ...a pandemic when we are all looking for some type of connection. Im an anxious attacher. What are you?

14.01.2022 Some of us are feeling this grief and sadness right now. Some of us are having to say goodbye to a partner or a friend. Some of us are having to create physic...al distance and boundaries with people that aren’t able to hear our concerns after endless attempts to express them. Some of us are having to limit our time around someone due to their inability to meet us halfway. And there is often a deep and hollow and valid sadness that can come with leaning into these kinds of experiences. Setting boundaries doesn’t always mean we don’t want to be around someone. In fact, those kind of boundaries, the ones that pull us away from people we deeply love, can feel the most excruciating. If you are currently going through this or are anticipating having to do this soon, I send you so much love and gentleness. It’s okay to set boundaries with someone and still feel sad about of it. It’s okay to set boundaries with someone and still miss being near that very person. It’s okay to set boundaries and still feel left out of the very experience you had to remove yourself away from in order to better take care of yourself. You are not alone for feeling these things. Boundaries are extremely complex and they are deeply relational as much as they are deeply personal. Feeling this kind of complexity in our emotional expression is such a normal experience. It can also often be incredibly healing to allow ourselves to lean into the potential grief that might await us. Please allow yourself enormous compassion as you explore the edges of your own boundaries as well as any other feelings that might be wanting to be felt within you too. ~Silvy Khoucasian

14.01.2022 I really like this.

12.01.2022 "Perhaps this is what this season is all about: trusting in the unknowns, finding gold in the little things, trading fear of whats certain for freedom to thriv...e within it, to know that by grace, there is room to truly live within this space, and to laugh and to make art even after all that fell apart, and courageously pursue joy, even when you dont know what will happen. And not because youre careless, but because youre grateful, and you are mindfully choosing to be faithful, even in the waiting." Morgan Harper Nichols

09.01.2022 COVID-19 UPDATE: We have had to cancel the Grief to Grace retreat planned for October this year, as we cannot bring in (and then quarantine) international team members, due to Australia's national border closures. We need the international team members to run our program to accredited standard. The next program will be run in Perth in November 2021 - which seems like ages away, but won't be! In the meantime, for those of you who feel ready to try some small group work, two c...olleagues in Sydney will be offering a 14-week 1-hour per week online group therapy program using Christian spirituality to heal the wounds of sexual abuse, starting in July or August this year. Nadia and Pat have invited me to facilitate some of this small group work as well. If you're interested, the program is called GIFT and you can contact: Nancy Murdocca 0466 474 862 / 8713 8726 [email protected]

07.01.2022 This news is terrible, and it may also be triggering if you have experienced similar situations yourself. Grief to Grace offers a safe place to express anger, find healing, and to grow into peace after adult boundary violations and coercive relationships. The next Perth retreat will be held from 20-25 October, and will be led by Dr Theresa Burke and Fr Dominic Allain. Please contact us at [email protected] or leave a message on 0413 593 059.

07.01.2022 "The person God loves with the tenderness of a Father, the person He wants to touch and transform with His love is not the person we'd have like to be or ought ...to be. It's the person we are. God doesn't love "ideal persons" or "virtual beings." He loves actual real people." | Fr. Jacques Phillipe See more

04.01.2022 Wonderful news from Fr Dominic in London! One day hopefully we'll be able to travel again, and some of you might be able to visit the new centre. It's been such a long process, and it's great to see this venture finally getting started!

01.01.2022 One day. Live in your new story. Who loves this quote from Brene Brown?

01.01.2022 Dissociation was a coping mechanism that was so normal to me, I even had a name for it: my spaceship. It was like I was watching myself exist from above mysel...f. I was always there physically + gone mentally. With a distant look on my face, I could function, but I was also in a nervous system state of shut down. Of survival. Of autopilot. We learn to begin dissociating in childhood. When life around is feels to ‘big’ to cope. When we don’t have parent figures to guide, nurture, emotionally support us when we do not have a secure attachment + cannot fully be our core self. As I got older, I began noticing how I had almost no childhood memories. My friends would make fun of my terrible memory. I knew something was off. A part of me didn’t want to face it. A part of me thought maybe I had been sexually assaulted. When we are chronically dissociated, we cannot form memories. This is because the mind is protecting us from the painful overwhelm we are experiencing. I’ve healed so much of my dissociation. Through meditation, breathwork through beginning the journey of practicing consciousness every day. PS- this was the most requested series from my last post. If you have any other requests, leave them in the comments #selfhealers
