What to Expect: Honest Work, Practical Tool

Through guided teaching, group discussions & experiential exercises, you’ll examine how you relate to others—and what happens to your own needs in the process.

We’ll look at attachment, caretaking, people-pleasing, boundaries & the need to feel valued through a partner’s approval or dependence on you. You’ll be invited to question familiar behaviors, explore where, why & how they were learned & consider what keeps those behaviors repeating.

This work can be uncomfortable. Tracy’s approach makes room for direct questions and honest self-reflection- with time between sessions to rest, process & consider how these insights apply to your life. Snacks will also be readily available throughout the retreat, including ‘sweet-treats.’

Recognizing Yourself Through Shared Experience

Sometimes another woman describes something you’ve experienced but never put into words. Sometimes a different perspective challenges an explanation you’ve relied on for years.

Group discussions offer opportunities to recognize familiar patterns, hear honest perspectives & practice expressing yourself without automatically fixing, rescuing or accommodating someone else.

You are encouraged to participate thoughtfully & respect your own limits. The invitation is to listen, speak honestly & notice what arises within—including the urge to earn approval, avoid disagreement or take responsibility for everyone in the room.

Tracy’s Approach: Direct, Experienced, Personal

Tracy Dunn brings decades of experience facilitating groups in behavioral health, life coaching and interventions. Her approach combines direct communication, practical teaching and a willingness to ask the questions that are easy to avoid.

Together, you’ll examine the beliefs beneath your relationship behaviors: whether love feels earned through caretaking, whether being needed gives you a sense of worth or whether your identity has become organized around a partner.

Codependency is part of this conversation, alongside attachment, family dynamics and learned patterns. The focus is on understanding your experience, taking an honest look at your choices and practicing different ways of relating to others.

Room to Be Honest— and Have Boundaries

You do not need to arrive with the right words, a clear explanation or a decision about your relationship.

You are invited to examine difficult experiences without turning them into another reason to criticize yourself. That includes acknowledging what hurts, what you want, what you tolerate and what you may be understandably afraid to change.

Having boundaries matters here, too. You can ask questions, name discomfort and choose what you share. Honest reflection includes recognizing your own behavior while keeping responsibility for another person’s choices with that person.
