Class will be recorded for all registrants and available for viewing for one month.


Have you noticed how the holiday season has a way of intensifying the way we feel? For some, this time of the year feels uplifting, full of celebration and connection. And, for others this time of the year is hard, fraught with family tension, tenderness and loneliness. Perhaps, it’s more of a marbled mix. No wonder this time of year can be so triggering!

Join Lauren for an experiential exploration of how what’s triggering you can grow you. In the first half of this webinar, Lauren will offer a guided exercise to help you resource yourself. She’ll share with you the science behind resourcing and how it can support your ability and capacity to be with what’s challenging without getting overwhelmed. Then, in the second half of the webinar, Lauren will offer another guided exercise to help you turn towards and be with what’s triggering you in a safe and skillful way.

You may be wondering, Why would I want to do that? Great question! Feeling triggered is your body’s way of signaling that something in your present experience is activating an unhealed hurt from your past. There’s some good reason why you’re feeling explosive, panicky, helpless and/or pleasing and appeasing. As you’re with the body feel of being triggered in a Focusing way, you create the conditions for tension to ease, insights to emerge and healing to happen.

Some familiarity with Focusing may be helpful but no prior experience with Focusing is required. All are welcome to attend and participate.

Format

We use Zoom videoconferencing for our online classes. In this webinar format, you will see the presenter and host, but you will not be seen. You will be able to ask questions during the webinar by typing them. Highlights presenters may at times invite a small number of participants to unmute or join them onscreen during the webinar (optional).

You will need to have a computer/mobile device. Calling in by phone is also possible but not preferred. All registered participants will be sent a link to the video recording approximately two weeks following the class. So if you are unable to attend the live webinar, you will still be able to view it for one month.
