What You Really Really Want
June 17th - July 14th
Knowing what you want is hard.
In fact, when I tell people that I help people ask for what they want in their relationships and the bedroom, the #1 response I get is “I don’t even know what that is!”
There are so many reasons why discerning your desire might be hard for you:
- Maybe your strategy so far has been to focus all your time, attention and energy on other people’s wants and whims and hope that eventually, maybe they’ll figure yours out too? (Um, hi, that was me!)
- Perhaps you get overwhelmed by all the people and all the things they want… It’s so much that you can’t hear what you want in all of that. (You’re definitely not alone in that!)
- Or you get stuck on on what’s ‘acceptable’ or ‘reasonable’ to want (Yep, I’ve been there too!)
- Maybe you’ve been in survival mode for so long that you can’t remember doing things for pleasure or fun. (…Hello pandemic!)
- Or you were raised in a family where your wants were constantly shut down or seen as a problem… so you learned not to have any. (You just described 79% of the people I work with.)
But what if It’s not about “knowing” or “figuring out” what you want?
What if your desires aren’t out there somewhere, hoping to be realized someday?
What if discerning your preferences and desires is a skill — one that can be learned?
What if the secret was in noticing them… right now?
Being able to notice (and trust) your desires and preferences in real-time is MAGICAL.
Hearing (really hearing) your own needs and wants — in the moment — means you can actually (finally!) get them met.
Tuning into what you really want (not just what you think you can get) is how you can start to expand your relationships and your life.
Your preferences, desires, and wants are happening all the time, including right now.
It just takes practice noticing, trusting, and listening to them.
That's what we do in What You Really Really Want.
In this virtual workshop, you’ll learn:
- How to identify what gets in the way of you noticing your desires (and what to do about it!)
- Ways to create safety to explore and investigate what you want
- Why context is key to accessing your desires — and how to use that to your advantage
- The difference between wants and needs (and why that may not matter as much as you think)
- Techniques to open up your options to see what you really want (not just what you think you can get)
- Why it doesn’t matter if you “deserve” something
- Simple practices you can use any time to get clarity on what you really want — especially on desires that are hidden just out of view
- And much more!
What this is not 👇
This is not a goal-setting or bucket-list workshop. You won't get a road map about what you should want, or learn how to convince yourself that you actually want something that you don't want.
This is about developing practices that will serve you in noticing, trusting, and valuing your preferences and desires, in the moment — no matter what they are or what you are doing.
