After one year of joy training, it is time for Track 2 where we build a “Resilient Identity”. Now I train my brain to regulate negative emotions so I stay the source of good things to others. Here I learn how the painful failure to thrive impacts me and my loved ones. Failure to thrive means a life stuck in pain, fleeing pain, or rigidly avoiding any risk of pain. This failure to thrive emerges from a badly developed and poorly trained control center.
The Year Two – Returning to Joy lectures in addition to the online courses prepare trainees for Track 2. After Track 2 I can strengthen my skills, sustain my joy and prepare for Track 3 with my Mastering Returning to Joy Skill Guide.
Prerequisite: Completion of Track 1
Required Prep Work: Yes
Partner: Yes
Your track prep work is thoughtfully designed to set you up for success by giving you a foundational understanding of the topics covered in your live training sessions.
Each track includes its own tailored list of prep resources. For tracks 1-3, these fall into two categories, which are laid out in more detail in your track prep work packet that highlights:
1. CORE PREP WORK – Required for all track participants. This ensures everyone arrives with a shared baseline of knowledge.
2. SPECIFIC APPLICATION PREP WORK – For those wanting to spread relational skills to your network, we offer additional prep work so you can better apply what you’ve learned within a specific sphere—like your family, church group, or another community—we offer four targeted pathways with additional resources designed to deepen your impact.
Missionaries: pick the pathway that best fits your mission field needs.
With years of collective experience, we are confident that you are getting the very best in relational skills training.
