Description:


When we believe the stories in our minds that tell us we’re broken and inadequate, we suffer. Caught in their grip, we feel separate from the ease and vibrancy of the present moment. This presentation will delve into the nature of stories and our attachment to them. Together, we’ll discover how to help our clients unravel these self-identities and their associated emotions. Using wisdom-based skills to bring clarity to our experience, we’ll learn to reclaim the peace and fulfillment that are our natural state.


Objectives:

At the completion of this continuing education program, participants will be able to:


1.     Apply the power of pure conscious awareness in the therapeutic encounter;

2.     Assess the suffering inherent in living by the stories we tell ourselves;

3.     Explain the two components of emotional experience;

4.     Utilize five tools to help clients unravel painful emotional experiences and find peace in the moment;

5.     Use skills to help clients work with the physical aspect of experience to find relief from suffering.


Timed Outline:

5:15-5:30 pm: Greet, sign in and socialize

5:30-5:35 pm: Introduction of speaker and opening remarks

5:35–6:45 pm: Presentation focusing on the above objectives
