Whose Life are you Living?
Date: Friday 25 November 2011
Time: 10.00am - 4.00pm
Cost: £30 (includes £5 Booking Fee and Refreshments)
Dr Tony Humphreys
In this seminar, based on his book Whose Life Are You Living Tony will show that we are not born bad, ugly, stupid, average, superior or inferior, yet these and other labels plague our adult lives. Why, then, do we pigeon-hole ourselves and put limits on our abilities? Our desire to be accepted by friends, family and the world at large forces us to bow to society’s demands, and shackles our true selves.
Today’s world worships at the altar of success. Magazines and television constantly offer us the chance to be somebody, anybody, but who we really are. We follow someone else’s ideal until we end up with no idea of the person we were before we started.
Whose life are we living? By giving up our freedom, we no longer belong to ourselves. We belong to those who have influenced and altered us. In the seminar Tony will touch on all aspects of living, question the way we approach our lives and show us how to emerge from the darkness that has hidden us so that we may be inspired to embrace the adventures that life offers.
In this seminar, based on his new book Whose Life Are You Living, Dr. Humphreys will offer opportunities for you to:
- Reflect on where you are now
- Recognise the blocks to being real
- To understand your shadow self
- To realise what you dare not show
- To express your real self
- To find support for your inner journey

THE INNER TURMOIL OF CHILDREN
Dr. Tony Humphreys
In this post-conflict era here in Northern Ireland we are challenged to address the issue
of the emotional impact of the traumatic experiences which impacted the lives of all
throughout the years of the Troubles. Negative and potentially destructive dimensions
of those traumatic experiences will inevitably pass from one generation to the next if
action is not taken to prevent this from happening.
Subtlety is a precious tool in addressing this crucial dimension of healing and peacebuilding,
effectively and at depth.
Dr Tony Humphreys has devoted his whole life to honing his psychological “tools”,
throughout the island of Ireland and internationally, in the service of this sensitive
approach to healing the transgenerational dimension of un-addressed traumatic
experiences. His approach is subtle, sensitive, incredibly fine-tuned and proven to be
most effective, both at home and abroad.
His central thesis is that making young people feel good about themselves will only come
about when parents feel good about themselves. All parenting starts, Dr. Humphreys
claims, with parents learning to parent themselves. Without self-confidence and love
of themselves they will be unable to help their child feel lovable, capable, unique or
special. Each child’s genius, (and not just their academic ability or other talents), must
be recognised if they are to feel good about themselves, and this will only come about
where the self-parenting relationship is successful.
In this seminar Tony Humphreys explores the necessary steps for the creation of these
two key relationships, calling on parents to develop a relationship with self and to love
their children for themselves and not for what they do.
Date: Friday 20th November. 2009
