“What's the Story?” Lifestyle Narratives Study Group
Four years ago, on the eve of the 2020 presidential election, What’s the Story?: Life Style Narratives Study Group (an affiliate of the North American Society of Adlerian Psychology/NASAP) presented
EARLY RECOLLECTIONS OF U.S. PRESIDENTS
How timely: right (or left) before the upcoming election! We focused mostly on the Early Recollections (ERs) of Lincoln, LBJ, Jefferson, J.Q. Adams, and Grant!
This year we’re focusing on Trump and Harris and maybe Lincoln
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2024, OVER ZOOM
2:00 p.m. Eastern; 1:00 p.m./Central; 12 noon/Mountain; 11 a.m./Western; 7:00 p.m./Greenwich, London; 8:00 p.m./Europe

Meeting ID: 890 2495 3162
Passcode: 533683
Meeting should last 1 ½ hours
Leave your biases at the door!
CONTACT LES WHITE to RSVP and for more information (including a copy of Trump’s and Harris’ Family Constellations and Early Recollections): leswhitechicago@gmail.com
What’s the Story? considers an individual’s Early Recollections or perceived important memories as if, “strung together,” they compose a short story. We then interpret that “story” by applying critical thinking methods adapted from literary and educational institutions, such as The Great Books Foundation, which promote a deeper comprehension of a “text.”

Adlerian Network "Grief"
Adlerian Network invites you to this free session to explore the topic “Grief” with Chris Garwick-Foley, MA, LPC, a graduate of the Alfred Adler Graduate School, who has been counseling clients for 25 years. She has a remote private practice addressing issues of grief and loss, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Her practice is based on the knowledge that we are all holistic beings with physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions, dynamically interwoven to produce the unique individuals we are.
While one may try to push the effects of loss aside, it is not possible to completely, effectively deny grief forever. One of the reasons for this is that without fully processing a loss, each time a person experiences a new loss of equal or greater significance, he or she will naturally, expectedly, re-grieve every previous loss in her life of the same or similar magnitude as the new loss.
