Try this at the beginning of your next Loving Parent study group or ACA meeting.

The Loving Parent Guidebook (LPG) is literature from the Adult Children of Alcoholic or other Dysfunctional Families fellowship. It is a workbook which draws upon many Psychological Theories and places an ACA spin onto them. Internal Family Systems Theory, DBT (Dialetical Behavior Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) have been rebranded to fit the ACA construct. I have used these theories in my professional practice for years. The LPG provides the public with their own tool for growth and serenity. This Loving Parent Guidebook is the process to help you gain self compassion and self kindness. Welcome fellow travelers. Whether you are in a Loving Parent Guidebook study group, or working this with a sponsor or fellow traveler, I hope this video offers clarity, guidance, and inspiration.

This meditation is a suggestion for beginning a Loving Parent Guidebook study group. It is a grounding exercise, designed to help members gain additional inward focus.

The LPG is still in review by the ACA WSO (World Service Organization). This video is not related to the WSO or Kaiser Permanente, my employer.
