Learn how to process difficult emotions in healthy and constructive ways, so you can enjoy more calm, clarity and wisdom.
What does this course help you with?
As a professional, you encounter a range of demands, triggers and circumstances in your everyday working environment. Understandably, this can sometimes lead to difficult emotions, such as anxiety, frustration, disappointment, inadequacy, overwhelm and anger. These are human responses, but we might not know how best to manage these emotions.
It is not uncommon to get caught up in reactions, such as losing perspective, spiralling in our thinking or acting impulsively. We might numb or distract ourselves. We can get frustrated about frustration. Emotions can get amplified by some of our reactions or they may linger. Or it may just feel like a lot.
Of course, difficult emotions arise in our personal lives too, and can spill over into our working life, and vice versa.
All of this can affect our energy levels. Our ability to think and function well can get compromised.
Training length – 1 full day

How does this course approach processing difficult emotions?
The course provides a clear framework for approaching difficult emotions, supported by practical tools that can be applied in everyday working situations and beyond.
You’ll get a chance to reflect, in a space that is managed with sensitivity and care. You can participate in ways that feel comfortable and useful for you.
We’ll explore common unhelpful reactions to difficult emotions, so you can recognise those patterns and respond more constructively instead. You’ll discover how to relate to emotions with presence, awareness and compassion. You’ll also learn ways to reduce intensity and create more steadiness and calm.
From a more centred place, we’ll look at how to reflect on emotions, their meaning and the wider context. This helps you gain clarity and puts you in a better position to identify wise next steps. We’ll also explore how to develop ongoing emotional awareness and preventative habits, further helping to reduce emotional turbulence.
As a result, you’ll feel calmer and more resourced in relation to your emotional world, and better able to meet day-to-day demands. In turn, this can support your judgement, interactions and overall effectiveness.
