Understanding Your Nervous System Workshop
This two hour experiential group workshop can help you learn more about yourself and how your nervous system influences the way you think, how you feel, the way you behave and how you relate to others when you are triggered or under pressure versus when you feel safe and engaged.
You will also learn simple tools and techniques to incorporate into your self care routine by working to engage your vagus nerve to find relief from stress and notice how an anxious mind cannot exist in a calm body.
“This workshop was fantastic for learning simple strategies to use to control your nervous system’s reaction to stress and anxiety. I will be able to take these away and use them in times of feeling overwhelmed to regain my centre. I would highly recommend this workshop to everyone, particularly during these challenging times.”
“A fantastic way to explore how to identify your feelings, behaviours and emotions ”
