The course support's all genders who have been living in a controlling or abusive relationship with an intimate partner or family member and who are feeling isolated (both physically and emotionally), have low self esteem and struggling with setting boundaries. For some they may have lost hope in ever taking back the control of their life. Face to face & Zoom group courses are split into men only and women only and LGBT+.
By attending every week of this course participants will start to pull together an understanding of their past relationships and build and develop new skills to move on into a more positive future and relationships where they have more acceptable boundaries in place.
Any applicants that cannot make the commitment to attend the entire course, would be better waiting until they are in a position where they can do so, to ensure full benefit.
You do not need a professional referral; you can now self-refer to access the courses either online or face to face. There is a specific page for professionals.

"At the end of 2019, I was at my wits end and in despair. I had just had a failed attempt at therapy which was terminated due to my inability to cope with my emotions. Quite ironic I thought as that’s why I had reached out in the first place. A lifetime of suppressed trauma had pushed me from cycle of abuse to another. Finally I hit rock bottom. By chance I came a cross More Positive Me. I referred myself and began the pattern changing course in January.
Jeanette and Debbie gave me something I have never received before from any service. From GP, therapy to Social services. An understanding and knowledge and a non judgmental approach of the trauma I had been through from childhood to adulthood suffering abuse and domestic abuse. And how this has had an ongoing affect on my life, emotions and life choices I have made.
Suddenly I have been handed hope. That what I have endured will not always be me. I have the power within me to change these patterns of belief. By the methods we have been taught. I didn’t expect the change to come so quickly. It is as if a light has been turned back on within my soul.
I will be forever grateful for the support, encouragement, knowledge and non judgmental kindness I have received and the ongoing support and bond with all the ladies I met.
My self esteem and confidence is rising and I look forward to the ongoing discovery of a ‘more positive me’ and future."
