Eliminating Drama in Your Life

Holistic Health Discussion Group

Wednesday, January 11th - 6 pm

Teton Healing Arts

25 S. Gros Ventre St.

Holistic Life-Coach Christie Watts leads a discussion about effective communication and the possibility of eliminating drama in your life.

Communication is one of our most basic functions as human beings. The numerous conversations we have every day with our family, friends and coworkers fulfill many purposes and they do not always work towards positive aims.

Enter the drama triangle. The triangle is a helpful tool to recognize the different forms drama can take in communication.

The Drama Triangle is a model of dysfunctional social interaction, created by psychotherapist Stephen Karpman. Each point on the triangle represents a common and ineffective response to conflict, one more likely to prolong disharmony than to end it.

We will be addressing:

• The Drama Triangle and How to Escape It – One of the most dysfunctional forms of communication is the so-called drama triangle. Learn how to spot and defuse these situations for more effective communication.
• The Story of Our Life – Life Scripts– Many of us have a pre-written script, which we subconsciously refer to when making sense of the world around us. We will explore ways to improve our scripts and make them work for us.
• The Empowerment Dynamic – Getting Out of the 
Drama Triangle – The Empowerment Dynamic complements the drama triangle’s three roles with positive versions of these roles: the creator, the challenger and the coach.
• The Games We Play – We may associate games with children, but even adults play many games that are subtle and psychological. We will see how to identify some of the most common games we play and how to potentially defuse them.

The idea is to use this understanding of roles to help you stop playing them. Then it is possible to become more of a neutral observer who can understand all of the roles in the relationship and openly communicate about them. When everyone adopts this point of view, the old patterns of triangle drama can end and the relationship can be unstuck and become more positive and satisfying for everyone involved.

Holistic Health Discussion Groups are scheduled every Wednesday evening at Teton Healing Arts, and will cover a wide range of topics that affect people throughout our community. Holistic Health Discussion Groups are free and open to the public. Please contact Teton Healing Arts at 307-734-0222 for more information.

Don't Let Pain Hold You Back

Holistic Health Discussion Group

Wednesday, January 4th - 6 pm 

Teton Healing Arts

25 S. Gros Ventre St.

Dr. Peter Blumenauer leads a discussion about chronic neck and back pain including new information that will help return renewed vitality and function to your life.

Any kind of pain can be difficult to deal with and chronic pain is something completely different.  The day in day out pain cycle does not only limit our activities, it starts to play with our minds and can change us into a more desperate irritable and insecure version of our former selves.  Back pain, lower back pain and neck pain is a serious problem for many people and may be the most difficult to deal with of all pain patterns.

According to the World Health Organization it’s one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders to effect mankind.  80% of all persons will have it in their lifetime and up to 33% of the population has it right now.   They may go through a period of dormancy only to have it activated again, seemingly out of the blue.  The latest research shows us some of the best ways to understand our bodies and so begin to know how to heal and transform these complex challenges.  New findings like fbro/fatty infiltration of postural muscles, (Spine) aberrant firing and coordination of neuro-motor postural loops (JMPT) and the disuse atrophy that ensues from chronic pain cycles all help to create a pattern that most will never escape.

You no longer have to be one of those people.  Come join us and learn how to begin to incorporate this new information into your lives so you can return to life with renewed vitality and function.  Holistic Health Discussion Groups are scheduled every Wednesday evening at Teton Healing Arts, and will cover a wide range of topics that affect people throughout our community.  Holistic Health Discussion Groups are free and open to the public.  Please contact Teton Healing Arts at 307-734-0222 for more information.

Breast Cancer Massage

In honor of all the women in our lives who have had breast cancer, I was going to write to our readers about how personally affected we are by this life changing disease.  Whether its you, your mother, your sister, your wife, or your friend, we are taught lessons from experiences of just how fragile life is.  As I pondered, I realized that it’s impossible to put into words, at least in a few paragraphs, how life changes because of cancer.  Instead of telling you of, unfortunately, what we will all learn, whether first hand or through others experiences, I want to focus on the hope and positive energy of healing.

Come and Practice with Peter!

His nearly 30 years of yoga practice and 10+ years of teaching will bring you deep insights into your own union with the infinite!

Do you suffer from foot and back pain?

The two maybe related. A sharp heel pain that radiates along the bottom of the inside of the foot, and is worse when getting out of bed in the morning, is a symptom of Plantar fascitis. This causes a significant problem with comfortable walking, often resulting in a painful limp. No matter the cause, an abnormal gait contributes to musculoskeletal imbalances throughout the lower extremities, and eventually back pain develops.We can help!  We offer spinal manipulation, soft tissue release and/ or Birkenstock foot beds.

                                                              Call (307) 734-0222 for relief now.

Does Your Loved One Make You Sick?

Do you love spending time with your pets but don’t enjoy the itchy eyes and skin, the runny nose, sneezing, coughing or congestion they might cause?  Do you not own pets because of these symptoms?

Pet allergies are quite common and can make living with your best friends difficult. It is estimated that 10% of the entire population may be allergic to animals. More than 70% of homes in the US have a dog or cat.  Many people, who are allergic to cats, live with at least one cat in their home anyway. If you already have other allergic reactions, the rate for pet allergies, in your case, increases significantly.
