Details

Spend a weekend shedding light on and bringing understanding and compassion to your reaction patterns in your intimate relationships. Have you been studying NVC for some time, hoping to find the key to bringing peace to difficult moments in your life? Our reaction patterns in the face of intense stimulus can be overwhelming and stubbornly persistent. Sudden rage or upset, particularly with loved ones, can make it hard to create warmth and safety. But how do we work with ourselves, instead of against ourselves, when we have the experience of emotional ground dropping out from under us? Use the tools of NVC and IPNB to forge links of self-connection and connection to others, even in difficult times.

In this workshop we will cover how to:
·    Understand attachment patterns and how they contribute to reactive triggers.
·    Learn how to hold yourself with compassion in moments of fight, flight or freeze.
·    Use NVC to create new neural pathways in your brain.
·    Dialogue with inner parts in order to create self-connection.
·    Use empathy to reclaim and strengthen our emotional solid ground, with hands-on exercises and experience.
·    Re-pattern neural pathways of feelings like shame, anxiety, or irritation, and create inner resources to make empowering choices and responses.
·    Use NVC tools to stabilize change, and to rest in a more empowered, resourceful state.
