Class Overview

The class can best be described as a gentle but profound learning experience to understand your emotions and defenses and help you work the Change Triangle tool to find your calmest, most authentic self. Connecting and sharing with others about emotions helps normalize emotions and decreases aloneness.

The structure of the class will be a mix of didactic learning, gentle experiential exercises and meditations, questions and answers, and processing of what it is like to talk about emotions authentically with others. The class is low-pressure - no one has to participate but all our invited.

In this course, you will learn to better understand and work with emotions - not changing emotions, but having a different experience with them. These experiences will lead to a richer and more authentic life. This course is based on Hilary’s award-winning book It’s Not Always Depression.

Learn how to move through the Change Triangle tool and land in the Open-Hearted State of the Authentic Self!

This course is designed for all people since we all have emotions. In particular, people who are working through their own struggles with anxiety and depression will benefit greatly, as well as those who are supporting others on their journeys like spouses, partners, parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals.

For healthcare and wellness professionals: To be the best clinician you can be, you have to be your best self! We, Heather and Hilary, are much better therapists and coaches since learning and working with the Change Triangle tool.

This class is live and interactive, and meets on Zoom.
