Not feeling good about yourself can be like living under a dark cloud that casts a gloomy shadow on whatever you say, do, think, feel… And that makes life harder than it has to be.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can learn how to handle emotional triggers, difficult habits, and inner critics in a way that leaves you feeling better about yourself. Let us help you get started (and share what you can do to keep going!).

Resilience is what we need if life is not going the way we would like it to go. When we encounter setbacks, resilience helps us to cope with and to prevent stress.

Resilience is not a quality of your character but a skill you can develop. Resilience is also not one-dimensional but exists out of different exponents.

There is a relation between resilience and an inner feeling of safety. The extent of your resilience is not a fixed given, you can help it grow and expand.

In this webinar you will explore your resilience. You will find your inner sources that can help you to develop and feed your own resilience and the resilience in your clients. Aaffien will be sharing from her experience in Focusing, Positive Psychology and Trauma-work to

Are you a person, a therapist, a coach, an accompanier, a Focusing facilitator with varied background/different certifications/diverse work experiences? a polymath?

Do you ask yourself what it is that differentiates you from your colleagues?
Do you want to merge Focusing with your whole knowledge?

Do you look for a way to communicate what is it that you offer on your website and business card? so it will reflect the whole of you?

This class is intended for anyone interested in merging Focusing with their other bodies of knowledge, for those who are looking for a way to communicate their way of being with clients and clarify the "unique product" they offer, creating your "niche" as an accompanier.
