Inner critics can be crushing, right? From paralyzing you with perfectionism to hurling shame-inducing words your way, they know how to hurt you.

It might surprise you to hear that inner critics actually have good intentions. They’re really just trying to save your life (I promise!). They mean well. But they’re afraid of what might happen if you ____. And the only way those voices know how to defend you leaves you feeling terrible.

Join me for Finding Freedom From Inner Critics and find a new way to relate to the negative, shaming voice in your head.

Decisions are opportunities. They are profound moments in which two (or more) sides of the self need to be honored and heard in order to move forward from wholeness. This is especially true of hard decisions that involve internal conflict.

When decisions seem to pull you apart, Inner Relationship Focusing can help you come back together again. Join us for At the Crossroads and discover the practical steps to making decisions with your whole self.

Annette Dubreuil timeline
Understanding who we are in an embodied way is a powerful way to grow our emotional regulation and emotional intelligence. When we know what it feels like in our bodies when we get scared, or mad, or are happy—or when more complicated patterns or parts emerge—then we can more quickly notice these shifts in our autonomic nervous system. This clarity helps us know when we need to self-soothe or reach out to others for co-regulation.

The class spends the first three weeks in the grounded parts, building a “safe nest” to do the deeper Focusing on our wounded and protector parts in weeks four to seven. As we map our parts, we also map out our timeline. At first with the key memories, and then with the parts that are connected to the memories. We finish the class by completing

Amona Buechler, Focusing Trainer Nervous System Reset
After accidents, certain neurological illnesses, or emotionally challenging incidences, the autonomic nervous system can get stuck in repetitive patterns, overreacting to specific cues. This challenges our health, well-being, sense of safety and connection, and our creative potential.
We can invite and gradually build new patterns in our autonomic nervous system and brain...

21-week Nervous System Reset Online Course Wednesdays, November 22, 2023, until April 10, 2024

Felt sense body cards example Annette Dubreuil
In this two-hour workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about and use felt sense body cards in your Focusing practice.

Felt sense body cards (body cards for short) are a way of capturing our Focusing experiences—whether a whole session, or we can use multiple body cards to capture sections of a session. This can be how the felt sense was at the beginning, and then how the felt sense was after the felt shift. Or we can capture different parts of our personality with a body card.
