Recalibrating: Redefining A Dream Deferred

Most of us grow up with dreams and expectations for the lives that we want, often rooted in the values and social norms we adopt from those around us. Many of us make great investments and take very calculated steps to manifest the realities that we have dreamt of. But what happens when the reality that you dreamed of is not an option? What if, despite having complied with all the rules and following the formula, that dream is unavailable to you? What happens to the dream deferred? This group focuses on identifying and processing dreams and expectations that are, or appear to be, out of reach, as well as redefining new goals, dreams and expectations.

Life is always a series of changes and transitions. Any time we experience change we also experience loss. Some of those losses are relatively easy to move through while others shake our foundation and disrupt our comfort zones. Join Dr. Jannis Moody for a realistic view of loss, change, and transition and learn how to support yourself through these experiences and how to thrive while dealing with tough times.
