Stages of
Adulthood -
and How to Support
Your Kids and Grandkids
in their stages too!
Taught by Pamela
Levin,
Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst
(Presenting the material that won the Eric Berne Award)
It's true - they're
not just for kids!...As an adult, you have stages of development too!
In fact, learning
how to navigate these fundamental growth and development stages successfully
is the foundation for every other success in adult life.
Yet, if someone asked
you, "What are the stages of adult growth and development?" would
you even be able to name one of them, let alone list the growth tasks
you need to carry out?
It's not surprising
if you can't - because no one taught you... until now.
You will discover
answers to these questions and much more in the
10 one-hour streaming audio classes.
You won't
have to travel anywhere - and you don't have to wait one more minute, because
your classes begin as soon as you register
Like to hear a sample of what you'll learn?
Click here to hear an introduction:
Do you think it's important
to know...
What the stages of your adult life are - and those of everyone else's?
What stage you are in right now, and what the tasks are you need to carry
out to thrive?
Which aspects of adult stages of development are the same as those of childhood
and which need to be different?
What the unique rules are that govern how your emotional brain operates
and how you can work with each one?
Which patterns of relating are emotionally nourishing and sustaining and
which are toxic?
What your "emotional DNA" code is, and how its instructions direct
your life - even though you're likely not aware of them?
Which parts of your emotional life are due to "nature", which you need
to "nurture" and how you can accomplish that?
How to recognize when you need to relate in a "joining with" way and when
you need to create boundaries?
How you can raise emotionally intelligent children?
How you can raise your EQ (emotional intelligence)?
Imagine gaining all these benefits and many more. Instead
of stumbling along without a map, how much more confidence you will have and
what better choices you will be able to make when you have the crucial information
you need to succeed in all aspects of your life. Then you can...
feel better about yourself,
reduce your stress and raise your feeling of inner security
increase your emotional satisfaction
improve your relationships
keep better emotional balance
become a better parent to yourself, your children or grandchildren
boost your emotional health
expand your emotional life skills
understand your own and others' needs and motivations
be able to create the emotional life you desire.
This 10-hour once-a-week training is for you if you're an adult who wants
to experience greater emotional well-being and satisfaction in your own personal
life and in your relationships, if you want to be a parent who is even more
capable, if you're a counselor wanting to be more effective with your clients,
a student wanting to learn more easily - if you're working with other people
in any way.
And, because there can be so many levels of learning involved, completion
of the class gives you the right to repeat the class at
no charge as many times as you want for as long as the class is offered!
A Personal Invitation
from Instructor Pamela Levin
Hi, I'm Pamela Levin, and I'm delighted offer you this 10-hour training in
which I'll unravel the mysteries of how our adult life stages evolve - and the
emotional work we need to do in each one - ground-breaking, paradigm-shattering
information I've gleaned from more than 40 years clinical research and 69 years
of life experience.
Each session reveals answers to many key life questions-about who you are,
how you're made, what motivates you, and how you can reduce your stress and
create greater well-being and emotional satisfaction in all facets of your life.
You will also learn how others are made and what motivates them - in fact,
you will
learn how to decode emotional needs and signals - your own as well as those
from others.
Events that challenge our emotional lives are unavoidable (sorry!), every life
has them. But how do you maintain a healthy emotional core
to help you stay balanced and get through them without
being defeated?
That's what I've learned to do, as over the years I've either personally faced
or helped my clients face just about every emotional life challenge: death of
loved ones, job loss, emotional and physical abuse, abandonment, war stresses,
depression, failure to meet personal goals, financial hardships, single parenting,
physical illnesses ... the list goes on.
After graduating from the University of Illinois College of Nursing and working
in clinics and hospitals, I had the good fortune to meet Eric Berne, MD, psychiatrist
and founder of Transactional Analysis (TA) which is about what goes on between
people. I was fascinated and incredulous that Eric was developing objective
information that could make sense of relationships. I began studying TA with
him in 1966, becoming the first nurse and the first woman to become a Clinical
Transactional Analyst, and two years later, a Teaching and Supervising Transactional
Analyst (the highest rank).
At that time Eric wanted to know how people develop scripts--life plans made
in childhood and carried out outside of awareness in adulthood. I thought that
first we had to understand how people develop, and then, how we develop scripts,
which is how the stages of development and those of emotional development became
the focus of my life work.
As I shared what I was learning-first with my clients, then in workshops, lectures
and later, giving professional trainings around the world-people everywhere
affirmed the power of the material I was presenting.
In Villars, Switzerland, members of the International TA Association from 72
countries voted that this work receive the prestigious Eric Berne Award.
Now, people in the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, the UK, Germany, Belgium,
France, Switzerland, Italy, Japan, Singapore and more let me know how significant
this information is for them and how they use it every day in their personal
life, their relationships and work.
"I read for myself. Now I'm going to teach it to my psychology
class."
- Reader, Malibu, California
"We use this material for the Parent-Child Resource Centre, which
offers women a community of support that includes workshops on parenting
and topics of interest to women..."
- Program Coordinator for Salvation Army Family Services,
Canada
"I'm researching how to apply this information to working with
mentally handicapped adults for my degree at the University of Frankfurt."
- Health professional, Griesheim, Germany
"I am going to suggest this as a must for my students."
- University Psychology instructor, Ontario, Canada
These award-winning, life-transforming insights are the same ones that will
be revealed to you
in these ten classes - and in the comfort and privacy of your own home or office
or wherever you access them on your mobile device.
Here's What You'll Learn:
Over the course of 10 sessions, you'll discover the various aspects of every

later, and for the next nine weeks, you'll receive access to your next lesson
along with the next class study guide plus bonus supplemental messages to support
your learning.
That means you are learning about your emotional life from the comfort and
privacy of your own home or office, or wherever you access it on your mobile
device. And, you're learning at a pace that allows you to consider and integrate
the material before the next class. And, you receive this empowering and indispensible
information free of travel expenses. You save time, save money, prevent hassle
and learn in a way that's accessible and convenient, in the environment in which
you choose to access it.
(Note: if you are currently in Advanced Transactional Analysis Training
you can apply your certificate for 10 hours' training credit). You can
also get this certificate if you would like it for any other reason.
Pam gathers your questions throughout the classes and answers relevant ones
during the classes themselves or in the support materials. (After you register,
you'll receive an email telling you where to send yours.) Please do send them
when you have them and also, please do ask as many questions as you need
to understand the material.
Free Study Guide
Prior to each class, a Study Guide is available for you to print out and use
to take notes.
And you won't have to worry about broadcast times
being problematic for your schedule or time zone, because you can pick any
time within the week to listen. However, it's recommended
that you listen as soon as possible after each class becomes available to you
so you have maximum time to digest the information before the next class - and
listen again if you like.
What to do if you miss a class:
Simply listen to the replay on your computer or mobile device within the week.
What could be easier! However if you have to miss a class there is an opportunity
at the end to access classes you might have missed (see about your graduation
gift below.)
Designed to Support You Emotionally... Even As You Learn about Emotions!
This class is all about emotional well-being, including how you experience
it: That's why, every class ends with a brief, guided experiential exercise
in which you sit back and feed your emotional self that helps you integrate
the material even as you're learning about it.
"Thank you very much dear Pam for those 10 lessons
full of new insights and feelings...
I felt each week very grateful for your nourishing affirmations
at the end of the sessions which made me feel relaxed, important, having
a place on earth and
having the permission to need, feel and be happy about myself.
I'll go on exploring the learnings and will celebrate this
transition with those new permissions."
Note: Even if you've read The Cycle of Life or Cycles of Power, these
classes will allow you to delve much deeper into the material than you can just
by reading, and you'll have a better opportunity to digest and integrate it.
How much does it cost?
You're probably wondering how to pay for this course..
As you know, to attend a course like this, a full 10 hours, and taught by the
expert who discovered it, could easily cost well over $500 just to register.
Then you'd have to add several hundred dollars more for travel, lodging, meals-not
to mention the time out of your daily schedule and the hassle of making travel
arrangements, etc.
But this course won't cost you well over $500 plus all those extra expenses
plus your time and energy.
This 10-week course (Ten One-Hour Trainings)
costs $347. And your certification, should you desire it, is an additional $50.
This is a small fraction of what you'd pay for a live event. When you compare
the value of what you're getting to what you're paying, it's clear that this
is very affordable.
"What a wonderful course...
I could never equate money to what you've given us... already my life has been enriched... I feel very privileged
to have been on this course and will thoroughly recommend it to
everyone I know."
(*based on the two books upon which this course
expands, The Cycle of Life and Cycles of Power)

to go ahead and do what they need to do, to meet their needs and separate

Arizona

and cries. I exist. Thank you."

"Brain injured people go back to ground zero, a prenatal
state. Cycles describes how to take them through the stages of childhood
so they can redevelop. This book is basic; it's the bottom line and should
be used as key material for all the human services people, for in-service
training and in medical schools."
- Therapist for brain-injured
people, Kansas City, MO
"As a classroom teacher, Cycles provides me with concrete
ways to support and build self-esteem in my students."
(Awarded after completion of 10 classes. Can be
applied for Transational Analysis certification credit)
Imagine your life when you feel secure in knowing the basics
of your own emotional life and that you share that same essential
emotional design with everyone else. You feel confident in your
understanding of what makes you tick and what motivates others as
well. And you understand what's emotionally nourishing and what
to avoid taking in because it's toxic!
Yes,
sign me up now so I can learn from Pamela Levin how to thrive in the emotional
landscape of my own life and deepen and enhance all my relationships with other
people.
I understand that I will receive ten one-hour
classes (one per week for ten weeks) plus supplemental comments and free Study
Guides for each class AND on completion, my complimentary graduation gift will
be that I will be able to repeat the class AT NO CHARGE
for as long as it's offered.
"I want to express my deep gratitude to you for
sharing your wisdom and knowledge with me. This course has profoundly
changed my life and made me realize so many things about myself, my
life and the world in which I grew up.
So
many things now make sense, and
it has given me a great sense of inner peace...
I feel optimistic and hopeful about the future. So
thank you, thank you, thank you, and if you have any more courses
like ED101, please let me know!"
