Befriending Your Nervous System and Releasing the Past

Panic? Rage? Numbing of one kind or another?
What happens to your system when you flip to autopilot?
Do you ever wonder why that is? Or where that came from?

Do you ever feel like you can see the patterns but you just can’t stop the loop? Do you look at your family and think, “Well, I know I don’t want that” but you don’t see any examples of what you DO want? If you learned growing up that your emotions were too big—if no one in your life taught you that it was okay to feel—if you’ve always felt that there had to be an easier way, but no one was there to show you—HERE is where you start.

This class is for adults who are ready to cultivate an intentional relationship to emotions and who want to feel more control over their mind-body connection. In this course, we utilize didactic, experiential, and guided self-reflection to cultivate the compassion needed to befriend your nervous system. We’ll look at generational patterns and why they develop in order to gain awareness of why we do the things we do. And we’ll practice gently slowing down to reorient your nervous system to rest, comfort and soothing.

In this introductory-level class you’ll:

• Learn the science of emotions and nervous system regulation

• Get curious about generational patterns and why they are the way they are

• Practice grounding and mindfulness techniques to reorient to safety

Be your own emotional role model.

It’s never too early or too late to start.
