Rick Butts introduces the Healing Our Core Issues (HOCI) Model and its six core areas: self-esteem, boundaries, sense of self, needs and wants, moderation, and interdependence. Explore your childhood birthrights, recognize the patterns you developed to adapt, and learn practices that help you respond to life with greater clarity and choice.

Through reflection and practical tools, you will begin to “get your story straight,” strengthen your Functional Adult Self, practice mindfulness and regulation, and nurture the parts of you that still carry childhood pain.

Wherever you find yourself in the six core areas, healing is possible. It is never too late to grow into the person you were meant to be. This course invites you to reflect on your story with compassion and become the author of what comes next.
