'At the end of 2009, I had a particularly melodramatic pizza date with two of my girlfriends. I was blethering on about my terrible, dramatic love life and my best friend at the time had enough and lost patience. In the verbal melée that ensued, she gave me the best bit of challenging reflection that I’ve ever received, by simply saying, ‘Oh for goodness sake, you ALWAYS do this!’ She told me I had a clear pattern of seeking relationships with unavailable men. At the time, I didn’t want to hear it and I sobbed into my Pinot Grigio, feeling thoroughly victimised. The other friend that was with us still feels awkward about that evening to this day. But it was one of the best things that could have happened for me, because once I stopped being in reaction, I started getting curious...
I was carrying so much indignation, so much suppressed and righteous rage, that I was ready to go off like a firework. Oh, I was ready! But what I wasn’t ready for was what happens after that. Despite researching the Process before I started, the thought of forgiveness for my mother wasn’t something I’d ever considered. I had very clearly constructed the villains and heroes of my childhood experience and I had no intention whatsoever of forgiving anybody, because I was so firmly stuck in that narrative. So when that happened, and compassion and forgiveness naturally came in, it was very unexpected...'

Hoffman Introduction Days are one-day workshops led by members of the Hoffman facilitating team. They’re hands-on, using techniques from the Process itself, so whether you go on to do the full seven-day course or not, you will definitely learn some useful skills and practical tools to help you with your day-to-day life. If you’re already interested in signing up, here’s your chance to try a mini-taster before you commit.
A Hoffman graduate is welcome to come along with you for free on the day (they’ll just need to email the office to let us know they’re coming). What’s more, if you do go on to do the Process within 12 months of an introduction day, we’ll completely refund your workshop fee.
Date: Sunday 5 March
Time: Arrive from 9.00am for a 9.30am start. We'll finish by 5pm.
Cost: £120 per person (refundable if you go on to do the Process within 12 months.)
Venue: Guild of Psychotherapists, London SE1 0QA
If you're not able to attend this event in person, but have questions, you'll be warmly welcomed on one of our Hoffman information calls by Zoom. For dates and details, click here.

'The Hoffman Essentials Weekend exceeded my expectations and then some, for a completely online experience. The facilitators were so authentic and really knew their stuff. The exercises really helped me to explore and to understand so many of my issues from a completely different perspective and the insights feel lasting. The programme itself, the aftercare and the materials are so well thought through and really make the whole process incredibly rewarding.' ~ Hoffman Essentials participant, Sept 22
