SELF STUDY COURSE
START ONLINE, LEARN ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.
Join me for six weeks to
Develop a Relationship with
Self-Sabotage.
Break free from old blocks that have held you back.
An Experiential Self Paced Guide in Overcoming Self-Sabotage
Nobody knows how to hold you back, quite like you.
If you want to heal from anything at all — I’ll let you in on a little secret:
Your biggest block is also the signpost pointing you to wholeness.
Over the course of 6 modules released over six weeks (and then available to you) I’m inviting you in for personal support to get to know something — one big hard thing — that you’ve been struggling with for a long time, maybe for years.
Where have you felt held back, delayed, or like a failure at something you deeply want?
If you have an area in your life like this, bring it to this course.
You will go beyond surface-level strategies, and learn what it means to transform the relationship with your struggle, first hand.
We won’t combat. We won’t learn to manage. We won’t power through.
Because you’ve done all of that before. Many times.
If it was going to work, it would have already.
We’re going to engage in something a little different; presence-led change.
Through compassionate relationship, we’ll move beyond symptoms and prescriptive bandaid solutions —
In short, this 6 module course teaches you how to begin healing your relationship to anything you wish to bring.
Let’s get to know a new side of what’s holding you back.
Everybody talks about self-compassion…
But how do I actually develop it for parts of myself?
Where is my big block tangibly expressing itself? How am I blind to it’s impact?
What makes it possible to have a relationship with something painful? Or shameful? Or full of grief inside of me?
And what benefit is there from up shaking up old, familiar feelings?
(The benefit is freedom)
Because on the other side of the old and familiar, is a chance to experience wholeness and joy.
I want to help you break yourself free.

Here’s What You’re In For: The 6-Week Curriculum
-
[Wed, May 13th from 5–7 PM ET] - Recorded Session
In this first class, we’ll explore the factors that influence your actions and what’s blocking your progress. You’ll learn how to update these patterns through memory reconsolidation and practice Self in Presence—meeting your emotions with curiosity and compassion. This class sets the foundation for transforming your relationship with yourself over the next 6 weeks.
-
[Wed, May 20th from 5–7 PM ET] - Live, Recorded Session
Here, we’ll explore protectors—the parts of us that prevent action to keep us safe. These protectors often arise from old emotional learnings and can block growth. You’ll learn how to identify and work with protectors, helping them update outdated beliefs and create safety for new growth and action.
-
[Wed, May 27th from 5–7 PM ET] - Live, Recorded Session
Learn how to update old emotional memories that influence how you react today. We’ll walk through the memory reconsolidation process, and you’ll start to update old emotional patterns that no longer serve you.
-
[Wed, June 3rd from 5–7 PM ET] - Live, Recorded Session
In this class, we’ll explore the rebel within—your resistance to change. Often, the rebel is reacting to being treated poorly by your inner critic. The rebel demands respect and a healthy relationship with yourself. You’ll learn how to listen to both the rebel and the inner critic — the goal here is to unlock energy and originality to move forward.
-
[Wed, June 10th from 5–7 PM ET] - Live, Recorded Session
Parts keeps saying no when the rest of you says go. Explore the part of you that wants to take a completely different path. This class will help you understand how to work with those parts that feel disconnected from the goals you've set. Uncover the exiled parts of yourself—the passions, desires, and essence that have been silenced. Bring those parts back into your life for greater joy and creativity.
-
[Wed, June 17th from 5–7 PM ET] - Live, Recorded Session
Bring everything together. Create a clear path forward—one that incorporates all of your parts and leads you to wholeness. In this final class, we’ll integrate the material and look at the next steps for your life. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what to focus on going forward.
Every week will also include:
6 Training Modules with Maureen
Exercise worksheets to keep for life
Recorded demos to help you see this toolkit in action
Guided audio practices, and more.
Weekly letters from Maureen with guidance on how to get the most from each module.
If you plan to join our LIVE weekly roll out of course materials,
Think of an area of your life where you feel completely stuck.
What would it mean to you to finally move beyond that block? What would it add to your life?
You don’t need more meditation tips or coping mechanisms.
You deserve to build a real relationship with your block, and that’s exactly what we’ll set the stage for over 6 weeks/modules.
“I've been a student of Maureen's for years, and I was amazed by how quickly the self-sabotaging pattern that had kept me stuck for years began to unwind through this course. Inner Relationship Focusing not only addressed what I came in with, it gave me a tool I’ll carry forward for life. And, as an executive leadership coach, I’ve also started integrating it into my own work with clients, and the results have been powerful.”
— Alison Deutsch

“It has definitely opened me up to new ways of being I had not previously thought possible. I feel more relaxed and interested in life. Less guarded and protective of self.”
— Mary, SEP/LMBT
A Program that Doesn’t Offer Platitudes
I’m not promising some quick fix, but I am promising real doorways to change.
You won’t find any “just think positive” or “meditate X minutes a day” prescriptions.
Those things help, but we want to make room for the root cause.
The only tool that can get to the root is developing a personal relationship with your blocks.
Over the next 6 weeks, we’ll work together to get to know the relationship underneath your block—the one waiting to transform your life.
You’ll leave with the tools to relate to your emotional patterns in profoundly personal and intimate ways, not just manage them.
If it’s new habits you seek,
develop a real relationship with what’s holding you back.
So you never have to look back and wonder why you’re stuck.
This can be your moment to step into wholeness — all that’s left is to choose it.
