Freedom from Inner Critics

21 day on demand course

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 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. Learn how to relate to your inner critic in a radically different way so you can feel calmer, stronger, and more confident. Click the button below to get started

The Urge to Indulge

Do you soothe yourself with unhealthy habits? Learn how to transform unhealthy behaviors without evoking shame or self-blame. Whether it’s wasting time on the internet, tuning out with the TV, drinking away the night, or eating to avoid your feelings. Discover how to change your habits gently (and in a way that works).

Healthy Boundaries

If you ever find yourself saying yes on autopilot, agreeing to things you feel frustrated about later, or going along to avoid making someone angry (or having someone dislike you), 21-Days to Healthier Boundaries can help you say no when you need to and do it with kindness and compassion too!

SHIFT

If you’re like me, and millions of other people, you know what it’s like to struggle with: self-criticism, blocks to action, and making tough decisions. Yet, even ingrained patterns like these can turn around in a short time. It is possible to break through the most stuck, painful habits of thinking. Especially, if you can form new habits of being kind and generous toward yourself.

I’ve discovered something that can help. It’s a new online course called SHIFT that shows you how to:

shift strong emotional states like anger, overwhelm, and shame
make big (and small) decisions with more ease
transform self-blame and inner criticism
release blocks to action so you can move forward with your life

Navigating Loss and Change

If you feel like you’re being hit by a lot of loss and change right now, Navigating Loss & Change, a 3-week on-demand course with Ann Weiser Cornell, can help you move through feelings of confusion and the unknown with more trust and self-compassion. Discover how you can navigate loss and change with more resilience.

Rock and Hard Place

Exploring the Gifts of Pain

Is the struggle with pain a daily reality for you? Being in pain is like being between a rock and a hard place. The Rock: I am in pain. The Hard Place: I want it to stop. It’s hard enough to be in pain without also being in self-blame about what it means about you, and in anxiety about whether it will go on forever.

Do you want to radically shift your relationship with pain? The Rock and the Hard Place: Exploring the Gifts of Pain course can help. Discover how simple pain becomes when we step outside all the reactivity around it.

Focusing Alone

On demand audio set

Find it hard to do Focusing without a partner? Do you lose concentration, get stuck, or get nothing? What if you could learn how to take Focusing with you wherever you go? The good news is you can! With Focusing Alone – an on-demand course you can take from the comfort of your home (or wherever you happen to be) – you’ll discover practical, simple ways to incorporate Focusing into your life whenever you need it.

Healing Trauma:

Moving Beyond the Hurt of the Past

The Healing Trauma Course helps you change the way that past hurts impact your energy, your mood, and your ability to receive good things. No matter your experience level, you’ll learn how to gently transform painful cycles like:

overreacting to present events because they remind you of past hurts
repeating painful patterns in your relationships at home or work
sometimes feeling like a hurt little child is living your life
Please read the whole info page to see if this course is right for you. It may also be good to have a Certified Focusing Professional or Trauma informed practitioner you meet with as you're processing these lessons.

Getting Free: A Year of Untangling

This is an Advanced Focusing course open to those who have completed 4 levels of Focusing (if you've studied with me that is on the completion of DW2). It is designed for you to go deeper into your tangles - those stuck places in your life that seem all tangled up.
Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin say,
"You might be surprised to hear that there isn’t anything wrong with you. You aren’t defective or inadequate. Something is keeping you stuck.

You have a Tangle.

Oddly, your Tangle actually makes sense.
It’s created by the life-saving attempts by different Parts of you to deal with an impossible situation. Unfortunately, their efforts are mutually self-defeating.

No wonder you have confusing inner conflicts (such as feeling both “I want to and I don’t want to…” at the same time) and undermining beliefs (such as “I’m not the kind of person who can…”).
