The Advice from a Loving Bitch Curriculum is a user-friendly, humor-based, therapeutic program that assists groups and individuals in undoing the lifelong patterns of self-hatred. This curriculum works in conjunction with 20 episodes of video content, addressing in 3-D, how the healing process can look, sound, feel, and be shared. Each chapter is a class, and includes objectives, theory, homework assignments, discussion questions, and an exclusive look behind-the-scenes of each episode only found in the curriculum. This material is accessible to people from a wide range of life experiences and backgrounds, utilizing multi-media instruction that is funny, wacky, emotionally transparent, personal, and easy to follow.

This curriculum is a step-by-step foundation for experiential learning that happens through theatrical experimentation, creative writing, visualization, therapeutic theory and demonstrations, creativity, performance art, storytelling, and connecting with others on a similar path of personal growth.

It can be used individually, in classroom learning, affinity groups, on-line programs, friend circles, mental health programs, holistic health programs, and other group forums related to personal growth and community building.
