Being Right Where You Are: An Antidote to Stress & Suffering. So often, when we experience hardship, we focus on outside actions we can take to avoid the pain of the stress and suffering… which sometimes causes more stress and suffering! In this workshop we’ll explore how leaning into the experience and being right where we are can lead to a release.
Understanding Anxiety & Depression: A Trauma-Informed Lens. 31% of adults experience anxiety and 9.5% experience depression each year. In this workshop, we’ll move beyond a clinical/disease model of anxiety and depression to a more holistic understanding of the adaptive nature of anxious and depressive symptoms. Learn how trauma and what happened TO you can dramatically affect how you experience life.
Getting to Know Emotions: A Deeper Look
Anger, Joy, Sadness, Excitement, Fear, Disgust, Sexual Excitement - these seven “core” emotions are always in the background, running the show. Learn how they interact with Anxiety and our Parts (Defenses) that attempt to control them and keep us moving forward. Contrary to popular belief, compartmentalizing emotions and the experiences that cause them only leads to greater pain and suffering. In this workshop we’ll explore emotions, create a map of our internal experience, and leave with greater awareness to our internal processing system.
