Redesign Your Emotions

Curriculum:

Some emotions can be challenging to face — not because they are wrong or bad, but because most of us were never taught the tools to work with them.

In this workshop, we will explore so-called “challenging emotions” not by forcing them out of the body in a cathartic way, but by learning how to safely involve the nervous system in processing and integrating them.

Together, we will look at:

• Why, how and when these emotions arise

• What they may be trying to tell us

• The potential strength and wisdom hidden within them

You’ll begin to shift your perspective on emotions and uncover limiting thought patterns that might be keeping you stuck.

We'll learn that there is no “wrong” emotion — each one carries something essential. In fact, we need the full spectrum of emotion to be fully alive.

And remember: Healing happens in connection.
