Conflict wreaks havoc on our brains and shuts down our ability to stay present and problem-solve during stressful situations. Learning not to shut down allows us to remain curious and to break the destructive cycle of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contribute to unproductive conversations.
A brief pause can make all the difference to avoid knee-jerk reactions during conflict. This course will teach you to be aware of your inherent reactions and how to disrupt your Fight-or-Flight response. You will learn simple and effective techniques to do this focused on breath, posture, and vision. Join veteran conflict resolver, coach, and somatic educator Stephen Kotev, for a fun and highly experiential program.
