For Bermudian success coach Julia Pitt, the famous triangle more accurately described a tricky relationship between her young son, herself and her ex-husband. Then in June 2013, she flew to the UK to do the Hoffman Process and got to the bottom of the mystery. What disappeared was a lot of ill feeling - what emerged was a healthier family dynamic...
"So often, we treat forgiveness as an intellectual exercise. We rationalise, empathise and 'understand' the other person's position and we think we've forgiven them. But true forgiveness comes from the heart and it's only when we allow ourselves to feel the feelings that are poisoning us, that we can find peace in our relationships. Tracing our patterns back to early childhood and examining our fundamental needs and how they have or have not been met was like finding a corner piece of the puzzle.
My biggest breakthrough came from the work we did on the Process on vindictiveness and compassion. As someone who had intellectually decided to be compassionate about the painful marriage and acrimonious divorce I'd been through, I thought I was 'over it' - but how wrong I was..."

Actress Naomie Harris speaks out...
|
|
|
|
Hoffman Graduate and Bond girl, Naomie Harris has spoken
to Net-a-Porter's weekly digital magazine, The EDIT, about the Hoffman Process while promoting her film Southpaw (also starring Jake Gyllenhaal & Rachel McAdams) which came out on
July 24.
"I did the Hoffman Process recently, which is all about learning re-parenting, because so many of us come from dysfunctional parents, and we get trapped in negative patterns that stem from that. To break those patterns you have to be in a space where you can recreate what you went through and deal with it." So why did she undergo the Hoffman Process?
"Because I want to fully become an adult... Most of us operate as if we are adults, but we aren't emotionally mature at all..."
Admitting that she stays in touch with people she met on the course, she added:
"I spoke at length last night on the phone to someone who had reached out to me, and in the same way I'll be able to reach out to them when I need to. I just want to be the best human being I can be."
We are grateful to Naomie for reminding people how important it is to take steps to create a better life for yourself and for those around you. You can catch Naomie as Miss Moneypenny in the upcoming 007 film Spectre, released later this year. Read more on the Evening Standard website here Or on Net-a-Porter here |

Hoffman recommended in Red...
|
|
|
|
Red magazine's resident psychotherapist Philippa Perry has recommended the Hoffman Process.
Responding to a reader who is struggling with anxiety and issues with work and relationships, Philippa advises:
"At the moment, it sounds as if you fear your emotions. But I want you to learn to use them as pointers, helping you decide what to do next. I even want you to make friends with your needs and vulnerability so you don't dread having time with yourself. When you can do that, you give yourself the chance to feel closer to others and therefore more secure in your life.
Go on a therapeutic holiday, ideally with group therapy, either with your partner or without him. I recommend the hoffmaninstitute.co.uk"
Time to cancel those flights to Thailand...

 Are you prone to anger? Or is anger an emotion you forbid yourself because you are a 'peaceful' person? What do your friends and colleagues think?
Anger needs to be expressed in a safe and constructive way, otherwise it shows up in indirect, passive aggressive anger or even vindictiveness.
It might be time to do some cathartic exercise. Find a space where you can feel safe releasing some anger. Put on some loud music! If you have a plastic Wiffle bat then use that, or alternatively find a cushion or another physical way to release any build up of anger.
When you're done, breathe, take a moment to fill your body with compassion and love - and then chillax!
