In this experiential workshop, you will develop skills to process the overwhelming thoughts and emotions associated with the EOFAD journey.

Often when we are facing difficult circumstances, we are initially overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions—grief, fear, how will I go forward? Natural defenses range from avoiding the thoughts and feelings, to becoming absorbed in “figuring out” solutions. When we develop the tools and skills to process the emotion, we discover our resilience and capacity to be with life as it is. We are less overwhelmed, and our capacity to function effectively is enhanced. This experiential workshop focuses on cognitive and somatic skills, with opportunities to practice and ask questions.
