Retreat for Women who are Blind/Visually Impaired.

Daring to Own Your Story

A retreat for women

(who are blind, visually impaired, or have been diagnosed with a degenerative eye condition)

Why attend a retreat specifically for visually impaired women? At times when facing vision loss, many women may feel isolated because they often don't know anyone who shares their unique challenges. This retreat is an opportunity to connect and share stories with other women experiencing vision loss.  You will also leave with empowering tools and new insight through the Brene Brown, thedaringway.com,  experiential activities. This retreat is an experience to truly own and celebrate who you are and your story. 

Becky Andrews, LCMHC and Nicole Wall, LCMHC will lead you on an amazing journey of connection, learning, growth, adventure and laughter. 

Becky Andrews, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and owner and clinical Director of Resilient Soltuions, Inc (blind from Retinitis Pigmentosa).

Nicole Wall, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Certified Daring Way Candidate. Facilitates the Daring Way Course by Brene Brown.

Resilient Solutions, Inc, Bountiful, Utah

Yesterday in the office amongst the pain, difficult life transitions, and loss our clients were experiencing; a message of patience was shared by many ...

Note to Self ...
Maybe the best thing you could do right now is just sit with it awhile.
Maybe the bravest thing you could do right now is just decide this will not defeat you.
Maybe the most productive thing you could do right now is just fold your hands in solitude.
Maybe the most sensible thing you could do right now is just laugh... laugh in the face of it all.
Maybe the most powerful thing you could do right now is just close your eyes and envision a positive outcome.
Maybe the most loving thing you could do right now is just give yourself room to breathe.
Maybe the best thing to do right now looks like nothing at all,
But it's not.
Because when you're gathering hope, it's patient.
Because when you're gathering strength, its quiet.
When you're gathering resilience, it's unnoticeable.
In the face of challenge and uncertainty,
Sometimes the best thing you can do right now is just hold on. --Rachel Macy Stafford, www.handsfreemamma.com

 Bereavement Group for those who have had a loved one/friend die, 8-week group beginning Tuesday, January 12, 5:00 – 6:15 PM - $150. Contact Stephanie Bergeson, LCMHC at 801.707.9612 or email: bergesonstepha@gmail.com.

Mom’s Bereavement Group, for those who have had a child (all ages) die. 8-week group beginning Monday January 11, 10:00 – 11:15. Contact Becky Andrews, LCMHC 801.259.3883 – email: becky.lpc@gmail.com. 

 One mother shares about her experience in our group: Mother’s group at Resilient Solutions has gotten me through the darkest hours of my life. Right after my son died I didn’t know how I would go on. I really did not want to leave my house let alone meet with people and talk about my son’s death. Little did I know that only these other women would be the ones to lift me out of my fog and help me try and move on with this “new life.” We joke that we are a part of a club that nobody wants to be a member of. Our therapist/facilitator has been amazing as she guided us through this new reality by teaching us coping skills and helping us to see that we needed to take care of ourselves. We all thought we must be doing things wrong but she helped us to see that nothing was wrong and that we shouldn’t let others make us feel that way. I am sorry that I had to meet these women this way but they have all forever changed my life for the better.

 May it make your sorrow easier for you to bear 

Knowing there are others who understand and care. --Author Unknown

Healing

"Give yourself time to be sad, frustrated, and angry. Give yourself time to heal, accept, and to grow. Time doesn’t erase anything, but it can provide you with enough space to be able to breathe again. And then one day you wake up and your heart has a little bit of sunshine in it. And day by day people offer you pieces of their hearts to help remake your own. Allow yourself to be where you are at, to feel what you are feeling, and to experience everything that means. And during this process, look and listen for that glimmer of hope. It is there, I promise. And it is waiting for you to see it. Because one of the most beautiful things about humans is their capacity to heal, grow, and survive. Facing it. That is how you get through."
