If there’s anything the pandemic has taught us is that we all need to “up our game” when it comes to resilience.

The increased level of change, challenge, and uncertainty we are facing requires that we and our clients upgrade our toolkit to address.

In this class for therapists and coaches, we explore techniques and practices that build a person’s capacity to deal with whatever challenges their life brings them. The approaches you will learn are based on research from the world of mind/body medicine, neurobiology, peak performance athletics, and wisdom traditions. You will learn both the methods and the science behind them, so you’re able to reach clients who might not respond to approaches they think are “touchy feely” or “woo woo.”

Topics include:

  • How to shift your state from disempowered to empowered and energized, and how to help a client do the same.
  • Techniques that foster greater equanimity and less reactivity.
  • What the world of peak performance athletics knows that everyone else needs to, and how to implement this in your life.
  • How to directly affect your nervous system’s resilience while boosting your mood at the same time.
  • How to shift your focus from the current crisis to a bigger, more expansive, wider perspective that enables learning and resourcefulness to emerge.
