Free Talk: Transforming the Relationship Stories of Our Lives
In this engaging session, we will delve into the ARCH of Healing—Awareness/Acknowledgement, Resource/Regulate, Connect the Dots/Complete Stress Cycles, and Heal. Through captivating stories from the families I've worked with, you will learn how to uncover the hidden narratives behind your own relationship challenges.

Participants will be encouraged to engage actively by writing, drawing pictures, doodling, identifying images and songs that resonate with their experiences. This creative process will help you connect with your own story, which encompasses not only the words we use to describe what happened but also the stories held in the body, right brain, and nervous system. Whether it involves healing from a birth story, early life experience, or a current or past relationship, this holistic approach to storytelling will deepen your understanding of your experiences. Importantly, the healing process can occur even if the other person is not willing or able to participate, as when someone has died or doesn’t have the capacity to do the work together.

By using the ARCH framework, you will discover the hidden stories behind your relationship challenges, allowing for deeper understanding and healing. By the end of the webinar, you will have a clear understanding of the ARCH of Healing framework, along with practical tools to support you in navigating relationship challenges—be it with yourself or others.
Miniseries: Healing Through Story ~ Using the ARCH Framework
After exploring the ARCH framework in our free webinar, you’re invited to dive deeper into your healing journey. Each week, we will focus on one of the ARCH steps—Awareness/Acknowledgement, Resource/Regulate, Connect the Dots/Complete Stress Cycles, and Heal—using art, music, and writing as tools for exploration.
About the presenter: Rebecca Thompson Hitt, MS, MFT, PPNE, CPP
Rebecca is a holistic family therapist with nearly 30 years of experience, specializing in couples, families, and individuals seeking personal growth. She has authored four books on parenting and relationships, supporting hundreds of families throughout her career. Many of her clients have allowed her to witness their children grow into self-directed, healthy adults who respect and value diverse perspectives.

Rebecca employs a holistic, whole-body, whole-brain, and whole-family approach, integrating Prenatal and Perinatal Somatic Psychology, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, and psychoneuroimmunology practices. Her work is grounded in attachment and trauma research, utilizing story-based, paradigm-shifting support to uncover the hidden narratives that guide us toward connection and understanding.

Her personal journey as a parent inspired her to shift her focus from behavior to relationship, leading her to write her first books. Rebecca believes in the transformative power of storytelling and is dedicated to guiding others through their own narratives to find answers and foster meaningful connections.
