"Life's curve balls" refers to things like experiencing the death of someone close, being a victim of an assault, having one's car stolen, and overall encountering various unfortunate and unforeseen events that are stressful. These can be described as "personal issues," but that term (personal issues) is mostly associated with the idea of something that comes from within and not from without (victim blaming?).
Hypothetically: if my mother dies, I can handle it poorly or well (well meaning that I spend time, grieve, and feel the pain but am able to manage my life so that it does not fall apart while I am dealing with the difficulties associated with the death of a parent). As a graduate of the trainings, I am better-equipped to handle the situation well. I can experience the emotions and psychologically manage myself, but also find a way to take care of my job, my family, and all of the extenuations. I am more centered and more clear. It means I do not require special professional counseling and know how to best use the resources at my disposal.
[[Note: I do not go to the trainings to deal with this; this is what I can do having already been through them.]]
I must have somehow missed this on my first read thru.....
I find this laughable, you say New Era can help you handle things like say the death of a close family member...well my experience says different. You say they will help you cope, by cope do you mean burying yourself in ACT or LP or whatever it is they are calling it these days? Because when my loved one died I was given approximately 2 days off of the program and the meetings and the endless phonecalls to "grieve and handle matters" after that their way of coping was to get back in the GAME get back to NEW ERA I should have taken that time to help my family members by enrolling them......thankfully this along with the Rick Ross sight and endless hours of reading on the matter this was my wake up call to get the fuck out.
