The Daring Way

The Daring Way

Patrick is a Certified Daring Way(tm) therapist.  The Daring Way ™ is a highly experimental methodology based on the research of Dr. Brene’ Brown.  The method was designed for work with individuals, couples, families, work teams and organizational leaders.  It can be facilitated in clinical, educational and professional settings.  During the process facilitators explore topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame, and worthiness.  Participants are invited to examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding them back and identify the new choices and practices that will move them toward more authentic and wholehearted living.  The primary focus is on developing shame resilience skills and developing daily practices that transform the way we live, love, parent and lead.

About Rising Strong ™
The physics of vulnerability is simple:  If we are brave enough, often enough, we will fall.  Raising Strong is book and process that shows what it takes to get back up and how owing our stories of struggle gives us the power to write a daring new ending.  Struggle can be our greatest call to courage and the clearest path to a wholehearted life.

Here’s how Brene’ describes the progression of her work. Her work has given me a map to follow in order to transform my life as well as help my clients live more authentic and wholehearted lives.

The Gifts of Imperfection – Be you.
Daring Greatly – Be all in.
Rising Strong – Fall. Get up. Try again.

“Listening to Shame” 
Shame is an unspoken epidemic in our “never enough” contemporary society. Guilt is, “I did something wrong”. Shame is “I am wrong”.  Our shame prone self-talk is a leading factor in many forms of unhealthy and addictive behaviors.  Brene Brown’s Tedtalk “Listening to Shame” explores what can happen when people confront their shame, identify vulnerability as a strength, and realize that we are all imperfect and worthy or love and belonging.
