Sitting with Emotions Workshop

If you find yourself avoiding or pushing away uncomfortable emotions and realise that this coping strategy stopped serving you…

If your therapist told you that you need to “sit with your emotions” but you don’t really understand what it means in practice…

If you tried to “sit with your emotions” but found them to be too overwhelming…

Then this practical mini-course is for you.

You’ll learn to:

✅Understand the role emotions play in your wellbeing

✅Understand components of emotions

✅Sit with emotions in a healthier way

✅Ground and self-sooth yourself through mindfulness and self-compassion

By the end of this course you will be able to:

🟢Understand your emotions

🟢Reduce intensity of emotion

🟢Improve distress tolerance

🟢Sit through your emotion

The course is practical and interactive and combines both theory and evidence-based skill development. The course is run by a registered psychologist, however it is not a replacement of therapy, but rather a complement or extension of therapy aimed at building emotional awareness and resilience. The course is run in a small group format (4-10 participants) to reduce cost for participants and allow effective support.
