Ever replayed a meltdown in your head and thought: “Wow, that was Oscar-worthy”?
Or wondered why one tiny comment can turn you into a drama llama, a raging dragon, or a human volcano?
And what about when *other people* lose it?
Do you become the saintly listener… or do you hit back, escalate, and suddenly you’re both auditioning for a soap opera?
Why do some things press those very specific buttons—like they were designed by an evil software engineer in your brain?
So many questions. Too much popcorn. But yes—answers do exist.
In this training, we take these burning questions and poke them with a stick. We’ll start in the head, dip into the heart, and then let the body show us what’s really going on—because apparently our guts are better at this than our Twitter-trained brains.
We Explore:
- Reactivity patterns: AKA “Oops, I did it again” moments, examined with NVC, somatics, family drama (constellations) and a splash of neuroscience.
- Re-training your autopilot: So the next time you’re triggered, you don’t respond like Windows 95 having a crash.
- Stretch zones: Comfort, panic, and that weird middle space where personal growth allegedly lives.
- Trigger maps: Because apparently knowing your hot buttons beats pretending they don’t exist.
- Before, during & after hacks: Think of it as the emotional equivalent of first aid, but with fewer band-aids and more breathing.
- Limbic system drama: Fight, flight, freeze, fawn—or as we like to call it: fight, flight, Netflix, snacks.
- Self & co-regulation: Fancy words for “calm yourself down… and maybe stop your friends from flipping tables too.”
You Can Gain:
- Transformation: Finally stop reacting like a reality TV contestant when someone pushes your buttons.
- Emotional upgrades: Learn to digest anger, envy, and shame without needing three tubs of ice cream.
- Chill factor: Develop the ability to stay cool while others do their best Godzilla impression.
- More capacity: Handle both life’s ouches and its “yay!” moments without combusting.
- Practical survival kit: Real tools you can whip out next time you’re tempted to scream into a pillow (or at your boss).
No previous experience required—meltdown veterans especially welcome.
