Unpacking Emotional Triggers

Description of workshop:
This workshop is about providing insight and learning to understand the way we react to certain situations when we are emotionally triggered, and the adaptive function of these reactions through a compassionate lens. We learn to befriend our autonomic nervous system, observe the way it changes our physiological state and understand its role so that we can work with it, rather than allowing it to serve as dysfunctional behaviour in our day to day lives.
