Meeting Difficult Emotions: Rewiring Your Brain for Happiness for Peers in Crisis Settings

May 7, 2024 - 9:00 am - 1:30 pm

$25 Registration Fee. Eligible for 4 MDHHS Continuing Education Credits. Please see this link for flyer and registration.

We evolved to have a negativity bias. It’s been hardwired since we were in caves to save us from predators. Today, however, many of the lions and tigers in our lives are created by our thoughts and
emotions. As Mark Twain once said, “I have had many catastrophes in my life, most of which never happened.” – Mark Twain

To create happiness, and happiness first, we must find healthy ways to work with our challenging thoughts and emotions. We’ll begin this workshop by discussing different strategies to defuse
difficult emotions and learn practices to bring us back to balance. In the second part of this workshop, we will learn methods to rebalance our nervous system and rewire our brains for a more positive outlook.

Trainer: Carol Hendershot
