Relationship Resolution
Nowhere else have we been able to find a modality or a philosophy that better solves the conundrum of how can I have a decent relationship with another human being than through the wisdom of Jungian psychology, which this personal growth and empowerment program uses.  The Jungian model is that difficulty with having a relationship with someone else (whether heterosexual or homosexual) is exacerbated by one’s unintegrated shadow.  The shadow is the nature of the opposite within oneself.  For example, the shadow a woman carries is her masculine spirit which Jung refers to as her animus and for a man his feminine nature within is his anima.   

The universal problem of how to be successful in a relationship with someone else can be found in the inability for each of us to have a relationship with the only person who can ever free us to be happy:  Ourselves. Sedona Intensive’s transpersonal psychologist Gaulden’s solution is to face down the demons and devils that make peaceful coexistence with a lover impossible.  These monsters are: unhealthy expectations that someone else can make us happy; inappropriate affairs with men or women growing up; bad role models; skewered information from the common culture; trying to live in a relationship as you perceive others live in theirs; manipulation, control and low self-esteem. Gaulden’s and others' proven theory is that we bring unresolved issues from the families in which we were raised into our personal relationships—how our parents failed in their marriage; financial needs to better one’s self; a need to be loved and adored when one cannot love oneself. The Sedona Intensive takes the position that a flawed character, full of blame and accusations against people at home and at work, makes any kind of relationship impossible.

Relationship resolution comes primarily from having a deep and abiding relationship with one’s authentic and integrated self.
