Responding, Not Reacting: Processing Change and Building Trust in Your Internal Process

from It's Personal Hosted by Esther Dresdner

In this session, we delve into the active component of release and deep trust required when facing life changes. Learn to recognize that emotions are the first draft of your reaction, and how this initial response often creates resistance. We explore techniques, touching on concepts like Internal Family Systems (IFS), to help you identify the role your reactions play (such as protection) and find the deeper underlying emotion (like sadness, overwhelm, or exhaustion). The goal is to gain self-awareness and improve communication by understanding your personal need to process. We begin with a focus on breath, internal heat, and presence to help you connect with yourself.
