This is an educational series about human emotions, the ways we have trouble experiencing and expressing them, and how these difficulties create suffering in our lives and the lives of others. We will explore the idea and applications of Affect Phobia (fear of feelings) and how we can help ourselves heal from our anxiety and avoidance of our internal experience. We will apply Motivational Interviewing principles and practices to our ambivalence about our feelings.
This class will preview a full day MINT Forum presentation in New Zealand in October 2024. See the Flier and the Video here.
