Dr. Manijeh Motaghy

Instructor’s Message:

Hello Friends,

Self-love Deficit is what psychotherapist, Ross Rosenberg, describes Codependency and explains how it arises from core shame and trauma attachment. It is a painful interpersonal and interrelationship experience.

When one hasn’t developed an autonomous sense of self-worth and deep self-love, (which is not uncommon), they often experience an excessive need to please and care for others at the expense of one’s own needs. One may struggle with setting healthy boundaries and experience anxiety or distress when their efforts to help or control others are resisted or unsuccessful.

Because love for oneself does not arise from within oneself, self-esteem and happiness become tied to the approval and well-being of others.

The emphasis of this course is just that, to provide lessons, tools and practices that can cultivate an inner source for that sense of personal worth and self-trust.

You do not have to be a hard core codependent to take this course. Just having a desire to uplift your own spirit and self-love. Please join us.

Manijeh’s teachings have helped increase accountability with myself, improve in habits/actions regarding our planet and increasingly become a better clinician. Her Life Optimization Method and approach exceed the training and education we’ve received to become therapists. It incorporates more depth into treatment regardless of diagnosis. It helps achieve a healthy happy lifestyle rather than just coping strategies/tools
