Stress
Management
We need techniques that help us hack our stress response and sooth our nervous system before it passes the ‘fight/flight/freeze’ tipping point.
Emotional
Regulation
We need to see for ourselves how emotions filter our perception, create bias and affect our relationships. We need to know techniques to reduce the duration and intensity of negative emotions and self-induce positive ones.
Mindfulness
We need to develop a sensitivity to ourselves in order to map & track our physical & emotional state, identify our needs and take the action required before things snowball. We also need to break our addiction to overthinking.
We have spent years figuring out how to package complex idea’s
in a simple, fun and fast paced way.
